She made it!!

Just changed over to 200,000 miles on the clock tonight on the way home from work :D

I did have a few problems with her in the last fews weeks,she just cut out for no apparent reason a couple of times...

...eventually traced it to a dodgy immobilizer,it decided to immobilize everything while I was driving! not nice! :?

Big thank you to TonyB for helping me diagnose the problem...since replacing the offending (non-Toyota :P ) item she has been running sweet

See you all at the Snetterton tomorrow night....and on Saturday :twisted:

It's a bit sad I know...but I took a pic! :oops:

Brian - I am glad you stopped tha car to take the pic :D

Not sad at all - I wonder how many cars will ever make it that far?

I have never had a car do that. Must be 1% if that.

Well done Brian, and she is still running sweet - all that TLC paid off :)

A fine example of superior Toyota engineering (tony runs and hides) :P

You have no excuse not to turn the boost up on Saturday now tho ;-)

Proof that performace cars aren't always unreliable :lol:

Nice achievement - says a lot about the driver if their car has got big miles but still goes well 8)

Thats awesome..... :thumb:

However i can't help but think of 'Trigger out of only fools & horses'
"I've had this broom for 10 years.... Yeah it's had 5 new heads and 7 handles!!!"

My cars done 100,000miles, its had one new engine, one new gearbox, new suspension, new brakes, new rear diff....... :lol:

Great acheivement!!
Shows those japs really can build reliable cars.

I wonder what the highest recorded road mileage on a car is?
