    That dude deserves a medal. Good for him.

    I once owned a 328 GTSi with nearly 40K miles on it, and drove it all the time. It was a reliable as a Honda - never had an issue.

    Love seeing this, instead of the poor F-cars that are rotting away in some prospector's collection; purely on the notion of making money off of them.

    wonder if his maintenance costs were lessened by using it more? I always felt such.

    I've owned eight Ferraris, seven V-12s and a Dino. Never a significant problem with any of them and I drive my cars. 4-Cam, Lusso, two Daytonas 330 gts....etc., all absolutely reliable. Small problems like window actuators, wipers not working right but that's about it.

    That's amazing to see that many miles on a Ferrari. Congrats to him for driving the car. That car looks fantastic. I wonder if he replaced the leather on the seats from all the wear.

    Wow! I wish this was for sell here in the States, I'd be trying to cut a deal! I have almost 70k on my Gallardo but 160k miles is phenomenal.

    Impressive. I was also impressed by a vid on youtube with horacio's personal zonda with around 80000km on it.

    Wow, very cool. For some reason I thought there was someone else here who had 100k+ on their 599, here in the states. Glad to see someone is not afraid to drive the car like it was meant to be.

    Other high milers are:

    Simon's murcielago with over 400K kms on it, before it was crashed heavily by someone. Now running again.

    German F40 with over 250K kms on it, used as a daily driver (or at least used to, unsure if that's still the case).

    Zonda chassis #2, Nonno as mentioned, with over 1.1m KM's on it.
    Horacio's Zonda, as mentioned with 80K on it

    Another Zonda, an F I believe, with 130k+ KM's on it.


    Drive them!
