Had a bit of a thrash up and down the A1 today for a photoshoot and just before home the odometer rolled over 220,090 miles.
By my reckoning that means just a bit less than another 1,400 miles and the old 2 will have covered enough distance to reach the moon at its perigee (that's when it's closest to earth to save a google).
Not bad although granted it's taken over 22 years so it lags some way behind the shuttle.
Keep your fingers crossed for the old jalopy and hopefully sometime next month I will be able to report the chicken has landed.

That's one small step for an MR2; one giant leap for Toyota.
Good luck Mr Armstrong and keep us posted.

Watch out on the re-entry - It gets a little bumpy.
Re: 1,400 miles to go.... to the moon!
cue the photoshop crew and some anonymous tips that an mr2 has been spotted on the moon
btw, while you are up there, you will only weigh about 200kgs so should improve the handling quite a bit
