Using some rough numbers like the distance between NYC and London vs the distance from Earth to Alpha Centauri the equivalent would be saying that Voyager 1 is about 1.8 Miles into a 3470 mile journey (from NYC to London).

Maybe also mentioned that it managed those 1.8 miles travelling since the 70s...

Travelling 8x faster than the fastest vehicle we've made, too (the X-15 managed 2km/s; the Voyagers are doing around 16km/s)
