Easy to mix miles with km. The 260,000 though is like the distance to the moon in miles!

A picture of the car in question would've been more befitting.
It would also give the younger generation a good sense of history!

He probably ferried his car to Spain cos I'm sure there's nowhere the African landmass s that of Europe. I stand to be corrected.

Local man is impressed. Sadly, he cannot express his impression pictorially.

How?

Guy, try to reason with the above map, he only need a ferry at some point to carry the car across the sea while entering Spain.

So, if he ferried his 504 across any seas, he did not drive from London to Nigeria? I smh@u!
