It has travelled country roads, mostly at night, for thousands of hours and now Basil McMullen’s Toyota HiLux has clocked up one million kilometres. Officially, the 2006 HiLux has done 999,999 kilometres, but only because the odometer does not go higher. Mr McMullen bought the vehicle for his newspaper delivery business from salesman Peter Noble, who still works for Thomas Bros in Wagga. Most of the HiLux’s road time has been clocked up while ferrying newspapers, including The Daily Advertiser, around southern NSW. Aside from regular services and a few minor repairs, Mr McMullen said the HiLux had needed very little else to keep it running well. “It has had a few issues with kangaroos over the years though,” Mr McMullen said.
