Fine usage sir! Here’s to the next 120k
Of course, if some are to believed, your car is now worthless and will never be able to be sold ??????
Nobody (here) cares about it’s market value - It’s worth more to me and I have loved every single mile I have driven in it (119,300) - will be keeping it until the planet’s petrol supply runs out lolOf course, if some are to believed, your car is now worthless and will never be able to be sold ??????
It looks as good as the day I bought it, with 700 miles on it. It’s never missed a beat and it makes me feel good every time I look at it.
If I had another £44k (what I paid for it in 2011) I am not sure what I would buy. Nothing I see, comes close.

Favourite thread of the week.
When you have GT cars losing £10k if they do 10k miles or something stupid like that you can't put a price on those 120k miles/memories you've done.....well it's not £120k anyway
Now for something at the other end of the scale - 302 miles!

There’s not a lot of cars I love at that price point but I noticed that R8 V10 now at that price is a pretty sweet drive and basically 95% of a Gallardo. They drive bloody nicely and are good for 560BHP with just software. Just sayin. It looks as good as the day I bought it, with 700 miles on it.

What, no engine failure and £10k+ rebuild? Unheard of!It looks as good as the day I bought it, with 700 miles on it. It’s never missed a beat and it makes me feel good every time I look at it.

Actually ....
The car does not NEED a £4k suspension installation - as it drives perfectly and is checked thoroughly every year, but it’s something on my todo list this
The exhaust issue was a £100 PSE actuator - OPC wanted £3.5k - would have been £80 had I had a ramp of my own - the three mounting bolts were a 8itch
All service bits have been done as and when needed - think its on its third set of brakes iirc tyres last a good 20k
Nothing else to report tbh

Impressed!
Where did you get the PSE actuator and is it a pig to change?
I got the part number from a USA based site - OPC UK would not give me the part number as they said it was not available separately - after getting the part number - I went to an OPC and ordered the part - the bolts are a little tricky to get to - I would advise a mirror + jacking the rear of the car right up and a range of socketsWhere did you get the PSE actuator and is it a pig to change?
My servicing garage did it in 3 mins - I gave em £20 for beer
The actuator is a standard car part - probably available from VW/AUDI etc for less that £40
