Beast #1 has turned 400,000!

Don't know if this is something to be proud of :D , or ashamed of 
My first JA (bought in 1988, from the original first owner) has been my daily driver from then until very recently, when the load has been shared with beast #2 (and soon beast #3).
It's now clocked up just over 400,000 km and still in kinda mint-ish condition, inside and out. Engine rebuilt just once at 212,000 km and still going strong (fingers crossed
). Everything works, even the original factory radio/stereo, which it still has
Some pics (taken a few months ago):
Yes, that's another Staz (silver) behind it :)
I recently had the diff overhauled (seeing as it's never been done before), and the guy who did it said it had hardly any wear - I guess that says something either about my driving style, or the strength of the Staz drivetrain
Anybody's Staz done more kms than this?
