My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Treasured automobilesMy friend knows a guy in West Africa who owns a Peugeot 504 estate with over 1.2 million miles on it.
His father owned it, and now him. Apparently the seats sag so much you're sitting on the floor, and 2nd gear is broken. It's been crashed, stolen, and even rolled over once. But it still continues to faithfully trundle back and forth along dirt roads every day.
I think some cars have a soul, and that must be one of them.

@bazI don't know, as I've never seen it with my own eyes, but I'm assuming that if not it would simply roll over 999,999 and go back to 0.

It does roll over.A friend of mine has a car that just passed the end of the odometer and he nearly crashed because he did not want to miss seeing it turn back to zero.

BlimeyI have a Peugeot 206 with 53,000 miles on the clock and the wing mirror fell off it yesterday.
I wish I lived in Africa.
