A brilliant weekend in the Vee.

[Ali]

43k ish. Gutted i did so many mines in the first 2yrs. But hey, i enjoyed it. Like i said to the boys on monday, it's worth more to me than if i ever sold it. I.e it's not got a full Reno Service History and it's modified so...It becomes a niche car almost.

A car is for driving and enjoying! Not much use if it's sitting in the garage..

Now.. Let's get a ring trip booked!

43k is nothing in the bigger scheme of things mate. And like you said, doing 1k a year means that will soon even out to minimal miles for the age. 53reg?

Not sure i'd take it to the ring again! lol...I don't even drive it hard. Shame, but true! It did 340miles to a tank y'day at 32mpg! lol. Seriously gay, but i was happily just tootling up the road at 75!

Yes and No. The main issue is...And don't laugh at the comparison...The TVR's like to be driven, i'm certain the good ones out there are driven regually. Infact thats proven. If you let them sit, thats where problems start. The Clio is no different. It seems to be running a little rich judging by the fuel that was on my bumper after the run. No biggy, but it's all apart of a bigger picture...(that is my concern) although i've had nearly 4yrs of trouble free motoring, not even a coil, clutch, box, driveshaft, nowt!

Now done over 1k miles in it this yr!

About time for some more paint then?

Looking good, Nose. It's not high miles and you're not intending to sell it, so keep driving it!

TBH the paint is ok...Doesn't need it. Will do it the following year. BM needs it far more!

i was surprised at the number of vee's at 50+k!!! I thought mine was one of the highest in the land!

[Silent_Scone]

Don't get much time to drive it now a days, plus i live in the city.

I was jesting tbh! It's a cracking motor
