... I haven't yet found one for people with an interest in
unusual odometer readings.

Well now you have.

We log every journey (have done for years, don't know why) and always record
unusual ones.

Anyhew, about four days ago when I filled up with petrol, I zeroed
my tripmeter and noticed that the odometer would be coming up to
a potential match with the date again. Unfortunately, being slightly
obsessive, I couldn't leave it at that. With 122 miles to go until the
odometer would read 160807, I realised there was the potential
for the odo to match the date *and* the trip to match the time.

I bought a newspaper first thing, and today, at 12:21, my odometer
read 160807 and the trip read 122.1. I took a photo because I am
even sadder than I sound. I didn't even have to drive around or
wait for ages ... I got back to my house at 12:15, popped inside to
get my camera, and took the photo while sitting on the drive.

:-)

I don't think I'd go that far ...

.... but I don't thinnk you're odd because you did.

Now I know the significant majority will think I have too much time
on my hands, and that I probably need to get out more (but not in
my car, obviously). Fair enough. Guilty as charged.

I just thought there will be a few people out there who might enjoy
sharing in my wierdness for a few moments.
