Pulled up at work yesterday and noticed the mileometer has hit another milestone - 160k miles. That now pushing me up at 74k miles behind the wheel.
Car's still doing me proud and putting a smile on my face after over 8 years of ownership.
Last week I rattled off 2500 miles on a trip down to St Tropez and back and the car was absolutely flawless pulliing over 30mpg eachway and never missed a beat or used any oil.
The mod I did with the roof down in motion has taken some proper hammering, don't think the roof was operated once with the car stopped. :grin:
When I had it serviced earlier this year in May I did have a scare as when I cut my oil filter open it was full of glitter
But my oil analysis said the levels of wear particles were fine.
I've had discuassions with both Baz (Hartech) and Mike at Millers about it and as yet the Jury is still out on what action to take.
I did drop the filter after a few hundre miles after the service and it was clean as a whistle. May do this again now I've put another 2.5k on it.
In the meantime it's just a case of more of this :driving: some of this :mechanic: and plenty of these
PS. Holiday down in St Tropez was amazing topped off by rolling around in the 996 and plenty of Rose!!
