Just landed in Tel Aviv (Israel) early this morning for a few days business trip.

Loads of Octavia (hatch & estate) taxis.

The Octavia that picked us up had 629,300kms on the clock and from the condition of the car it was believable! - seats disintegrating, ABS & Airbag lights permanently on and Inspection flashing all the time!

Anyone seen a higher mileage one?
