100 years, 10,000,000,000 miles - Colin Morgan - 10-07-2022

For the 300,000 Sevens - over the years - the miles add up... this is equivalent to Pluto and back.

In terms of time spent at the wheel, that would about 40,000 years - sufficient to hand over to a Neanderthal if driving back in time.

At 40mpg that mileage has required £2 billion worth of petrol at today's prices.

About the same cost as sending an Austin 7 to Pluto then?

Cheaper than a rocket mission then. Big Grin

But a tad slower perhaps.
