pscocoa Omega Knight Offline Posts: 1299 Sandhurst Berkshire Gender: Drives: Elite 3.2 V6 Irmscher, Phaeton V6 Diesel, Signum 1.9cdti	Hamburg Taxis 20. Sep 2011 at 20:17 Spent a couple of days in Hamburg - chatting to taxi driver - he buys his mercedes estates with 400,000km on clock and runs them to 600,000++ and still finds a market to sell on. Did not think mileages would be so high - once saw a Volvo with 300k on clock in the Algarve but that was previous highest
