My V8S has 103k on the clock.
It stopped being my daily driver three years ago and, sadly, hasn't been out the garage too much since - shame on me!

Oh been there done that still going strong when I changed the engine at 130K, its in storage for refitment when this one goes pop and its only done 28K.

The body and chassis have now completed the 140K mark and still going strong and so are the outriggers, clean and not needing any work so far (touch wood)

My Griff went through 110k a few months ago, just before the speedo went on the blink so it's still there. paperbag

Cheers Chris, I'd forgotten that. Took best part of 12 months - fortunately I didn't need a speedo for the MOT!

Not a Chim, but my T350 is showing 148k.
I did see my old 5l Chim last week with, if I remember correctly, about 84k on the clock. Though I did have to replace the speedo after it's first 10k so that's pretty close to the ton. Or is it tonne? I guess that'd be 100,000 kilometres though.
