Breaking the 2 Million car mileage barrier

Irv Gordon, Volvo's "Two Million Mile Man," just became the "Four Million Kilometer Man," breaking the four million kilometer barrier in the same shiny red 1966 Volvo P1800 he has been driving for more than 40 years. Irv Gordon bought his P1800 on June 30, 1966 at a neighborhood Volvo dealership for $4,150.

"So far, I've probably driven about 41,000 kilometers abroad. My P1800 and I have survived the perils of driving on the left side of the road many times in the British Isles. I've also driven in Sweden, Canada, Mexico, Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany. In Sweden, we drove to Volvo's global headquarters to see where the P1800 was born"

The car never gave me any problems -- didn't overheat, never failed to start. At about half a million miles, the car was driving better than ever, and that's when I was sure this is an extraordinary car.
