Is your "friend " a member here?
Its unlikely that any one on here would be st##id enough to make claims like that!!
Next your "friend" will be telling you that a 61X will run for ever on WVO & peanut shells!
Has he shown you this 617 with 1m miles? I have one with 800k on it & probably it would have gone to 1m but I got another.
I cant see any good reason why a 60X would not do 1m miles. Problem is that those of us that could have run one that far were too busy running our 617 till they wore out & didnt start soon enough on a 60X.
Best You tell your "friend" that he is dreaming & if he keeps it up, he will go blind !!
