Managed this today. Damn British weather, genuine excitement minutes earlier when the temp dropped to 31, only to climb back to 32. It had been at 33 earlier, that would have been fine too!

The OH humoured me, but I suspect I've become even stranger in her eyes.



Not particularly special I know, so I tried to make it better by being at 31mph and around 1300rpm...

I have my eye on something 131313 related in a while, doubt I'll get the temperature again though!

Well done for noticing - I rarely have mine on the odometer.

I really need to spend less time on Internet Forums. Just missed 12345 on one car, but a bit of forward planning yielded this smile

Took it deliberately on 2.3 on the trip milage as it was my brothers old car. He is OCD with things being right and in order. I knew it would make him happy but also make his teeth itch at the same time.

I had a post-it note stuck on the dash to remind me, and had to go out last night for a six mile drive to get it, as I knew that otherwise I'd be on my commute with nowhere to stop this morning. I did cheat by setting the clock though.

New levels of sadness for me. loserhehe

I've got one coming up on my Porsche. Considering it's a 996 and they are all meant to blow up with IMS failure or bore scoring at 60K miles it's doing pretty well!

Good work. Whats it had done to it in that time - anything major?

There's an epic thread in readers cars. Search for 'knackered old Porsche with lots of miles'

The most important milestone

That genuinely made me giggle, it was surprisingly high pitched. I can't remember when
that last happened. Thanks yes
