30,000 miles a year... in a Chim?

from what i can gather, they basically bolt the car back together. One guy told me that the reason the services take so long is because a TVR spends 6,000 miles shaking itself apart and they have to spend all that time tightening everything back up again. Never heard of nyloc or threadlock i guess....

A friend of mine is considering just that. He reckons he can finance it from his lack of mileage on the trip to work in his Tuscan.
