      For an Orion 180K is a big number! Those things are (or were) testaments to the ability of steel to oxidize!

          My 04 Mondeo Estate TDCi with 124000 on the clock got totalled by a *** delivering Pizzas in an 'R' Reg Nissan Bloody Micra on Wednesday in Huddersfield. I'd had it since it was six months old and put all but 4000 of them miles on it while contracting away from home, gigging at weekends and pulling my daughters horse box (as well as transporting bales of hay and bags of horse feed around). Sad end to meet, at the hands of a Nissan Micra held together with gaffa tape

                Excellent! My Orion had 103,000 on the clock (well, on the odometer actually) when I bought it in December 2001.

                Not many left now, either
