Best car I've ever owned

Terryf · 21st March 2018, 09:06

Not that I've had a lot.
It was built in late 2001, registered in 2002, bought by me in Feb 2004.
It had one previous owner from new.
Has passed every MOT, some with advisories, all of which were sorted.
Has never let me down, mind it has done less than 50k mileage.
Now about to have it's second belt change, I am sure it could have still been on the first set now but not prepared to chance it.
Also coming up is set of Bi-xenon headlights from Rick-Sta.
The only long distances I do are airport runs and I use taxis for those.
The only downside is the Harmon Kardon system in the boot. That's why I use taxis to the airport.
According to what I read on here it has Personal Line interior, Deep Sea Green.
So I think between us we might have a bit more mileage to go, with it's 16 years from registration and my 84 years from registration.
I have just realised, between us we are 100, Do I qualify for a royal telegram?

Well done Terry......

Also you have made my mind up not to fit the Harmon Kardon base speaker in the boot as we just about squeeze our holiday suitcases in now.

One small fact I forgot to mention, I am ahead in spark plug changes, the car has had one change I have had two. Many thanks to the NHS.

So all you need now is an oil change and new coolant. Doing well Terry.

I find a little, regular lubrication, keeps all my parts running smoothly!
