My Porsche 964 now has 200,000 miles on the clock
I jumped in the car this morning all exited at the prospect of taking my 200k odometer photo , it read 199988 miles so only 12 miles to go , i grabbed my camera and set off , 2 miles down the road i noticed that the odometer had actually stuck at 199988 , no movement , "Bollocks " , i couldn't believe it , i have taken the car well over 200k today but it looks like the car doesn't want to display the fact !.
So its time to celebrate a "mile"stone ! , we reached 200,000 miles , the car had 150k on it when I acquired it 2 years ago and ive added another 50,000 happy miles, i have been looking forward to this day for ages , its not the first car in the world to do this but for me it confirms the fact that these 'sports cars" are strong usable every day 'sports cars" .
In two years ive had to replace the old dried up oil lines running along the sill and a brake booster pump , everything else has been basic servicing items , the car has clean oil running through it all the time and is well looked after , I will continue my 500 miles of pure pleasure every week and hope to see 300k as quick as possible.
I actually bought a cake as well but we ate it before i got a chance to take the photos . Keith
