Hello Bert, welcome to the forum.
You have done very well to keep your 405 roadworthy and to cover such mileage. I am sure you will be able to tell us much about the 405 as a result!

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Hello
Hi Bert and
You have certainly racked up some hours behind your wheel and I'm guessing under the bonnet too!!
Great to have you along, don't look on the forum merely as a technical advice centre as all sorts of things happen on here. Have a look round from the Board Index link above and join in wherever you fancy. The Off Topic Chat Lounge can be very entertaining, almost like spending a night down the pub!! But mainly they are a terrific bunch and you will find all the advice you may want (and some you won't! ) Cheers

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Re: Hello
Thank you! Yes I have been a lot of hours behind the steering wheel. In fact all of them (together with my wife), because I am the first owner.
Now it is not my "daily driver" anymore. When I bought my other car I decided to not sell the 405. I only take the car out for a ride when it is nice weather and when the trip is more than +/- 30 minutes. So most of the year it is parked in my garage. But when I drive the 405 I have a smile on my face: almost 30 years old, 11,5 times around the world and still driving great. Why would you buy a new car for that with a price of € 40.000?
