Well the motor has finally crossed the 100k mark. Not bad going, I bought the car 2 years ago this months and it was on 65k I think! Anyone care to work out how much I've spent on Optimax in the last 2 years?!?!

So, I've not received a letter from the Queen yet, but I'm guessing it'll be there when I get home!

Took some snaps of the magic moment as I was cruising up the M4 last night.

Can't wait for the next 100k!!

So...... Hip hip....................

Nothing other than a recent exhaust manifold repair, and a new dizzy cap a year or so ago.

That's good news for me. Mine's only done 18000. I don't think I'll still have it in 82000 miles time though, but you never know. I will definately stay with TVR, but which one to upgrade to is the thing.

What the plan is, maybe, wait another 3 years until there are some 3 year old Saggy Arses about and get one of them. Hopefully all the probs will be sorted by then. Can I cope with a hard top?

Constant use I reckon is the key. People think they're doing the car a favour by locking it up in a garage 95% of the time.

Bocks, I say. Get in it and drive it come rain or shine!!

I do like the Sagaris I must say, can't wait to see a few on the road.

I'd like to upgrade to a Tamora maybe in the future. A very under-rated car I think. Seen one in a race with a NSX, cerb and Tuscan, and the Tamora won! Comes into it's own on the corners by the looks of it, a very well balenced car.
