...... and still going strong.

Sorted out the hoses and had a great trip over to Kirkcudbright yesterday. Went the "scenic route" over some great empty roads and the car clocked up 140,000 miles on the way. (this engine has done about 90k)

Wow, these are great cars aren't they!





I went a good few miles on this B road and the only traffic we saw were 5 Dutch Porsches going the other way.

140,000 miles is a long way! It makes you think, where's it been and what's it seen?

Hope you're having fun in yours!
Cheers
Tim

Sweet. I'm going to have to take a tour of the country when I get mine, whether it's in a few months or a few years, I am getting one. I have promised myself. Your car looks lovely, i like them in grey.
