The car was born to rev forever! Seriously, I bet you have changed the engine twice to get that sort of mileage – or changed the oil every 1,500-2,000k.

I also say you are a teacher or a professor to be able to afford some, what appears to be, switched on quality time!

Can you describe the engine history and condition please, what type of work involved if any, oil choice & change freq, driving style, petrol/octane selection (habits!), etc...

that is very impressive already

Going back to California... I had a great time in Michigan. Photo of JägerMobile parked next to Grand Traverse Bay, the west bay (Traverse City has two bays).
