Who here has the oldest running car?
Answers:
Yes, I have one too a 1922 Model T Ford. It is a coupe (known as a "doctors coupe"). I bought it in 1976 (I think). It travels at a "blinding speed"- (though I don't have a speedometer to tell exactly!) I once passed my wife while she was going 38 miles per hour!! It travels on 30 by 3 1/2 tires, and wooden spoked wheels, since it is now 82 years old this is probably fast enough! The tires are "clinchers" (like bicycle tires). I don't know the exact mileage it gets, but the day I bought it, I put 2 gallons in the gas tank, and I got home without running out of gas, - (the trip was 52 miles)!
I am thinking on trading it off and getting something newer, like maybe a 29 - 32 model. Since I can get around 55 mph without "blowing the engine up",- and it will be going fast enough that everybody doesn't run over me before they can get on the brakes to slow down! (It is my desire to die of old age!) There are two problems here, first is the decreased mileage,- and the second is that my "middle daughter" may disown me, - as she wants to inherit that car!!
I also have a 31 %& 32 Plymouths, but they aren't restored yet!

Hi, Freddie Flinstone . it is a Log floor wheel drive, convertible, 2 feet sorry stroke tee hee.
I have a Mazda Montrose 626GL 1.6L RWD, purchased new in 1980, owned by my family throughout, and has only done 34500 miles. When the vehicle went for MOT in August of this year, it's annual mileage for the year August 2005 to August 2006 was 54 (Yes, fifty-four) miles.
During the 26 years we have owned it most of the problems we have had with it relate to sheer lack of use, such as exhausts rotting away and falling onto the garage floor, and a brake system that seized-up owing to lack of use, necessitating a very expensive replacement of the hydraulic system.
My son (now 24) has driven this car, and it was the car that brought him home from hospital in 1982 when he was born. Not many kids can say they have driven such a vehicle.
I don't know about the oldest car but mercedes had a competion to find a car that had done a million miles so i would hazard a guess that that car may come close.
