This, dear readers, is what commitment looks like. In 1976 Canadian businessman Bill MacEachern took delivery of a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo. Rather than lock it away in the hope it might gain value, or use it only sparingly at weekends, MacEachern decided to drive it. Lots. 44 years of almost daily use has seen it rack up an astonishing 779,000 miles. And it’s still going strong.

MacEachern’s is a ‘G-model’, 930-era 911 – the 350th built. Specced in blue with a tan interior, it’s been driven thousands of miles all over the United States – from Florida to California and beyond.

Of course it’s gone wrong on occasion. MacEachern was en route to Monterey in California once when a fan pulley broke, but he found a shop to bodge it, while in 2009 it was involved in a small collision, when an SUV turned right across its path. But it’s always come back fighting, always survived.

It crossed the million-kilometre mark in 2012, prompting a champagne-fuelled celebration, and today its odometer reads 1,253,584 kilometres, around 779,000 miles. More than that, probably, since we got wind of this.

Anyone you know have a high-miler they just can’t part with?

 

good for him! it's a car, drive it.

 

nice car

 

good for him. he's setting quite the example. i put 65k on my porsche

 

Awesome

 

I'd say his cost per mile is pretty low..
I'm also guessing he doesn't look at value threads. lol

 

God bless this man a true enthusiast!!

We have a US-based 996 Turbo owner on Rennlist approaching 650K miles (may be more at this point). Over 1M km in under 20 years. I believe his car is a 2003.

He reports:

• having opened the motor at 380K miles with flawless internals
• when the motor was opened up, coolant lines welded as a preventative measure only - no prior leaks
• first clutch replaced at 373K due to failed bearing that resulted in a cracked pressure plate
• reported 80% clutch friction material remaining at clutch replacement (car allegedly sees daily bumper-to-bumper too)
• transmission replacement at 425K miles
• the car is tracked, runs snow tires during the winter

The Mezger is simply a spectacular motor. I'm ashamed to say mine only has 45k miles.
