Default 10 years old, a bit tatty and ..........

She flys through the mot once again


MOT'd at porsche reading ( wifey works there ) for £25


the front ns wing and rear ns wing need light work ( bird crap stain and a dent from a small piece of falling masonry from my house).

The original clutch still rumbles but dosent slip, she's still slick through the gears and is only slightly slower in the twisties than my honda firestorm.

the only non service item I've had to replace in almost 2 years is the little bulb behind the hazard light switch.

Looks like I'm keeping tilly for another year or 3

Yes, how many miles? That's what puts it into context. Is Tilly a fair weather queen or or an all season, all weather chariot?

I'm glad for you..

mine at 57k sounds like one of those crazy bands that bang dustbin lids and play saws..

should still get through it's MOT though.. afaik it's not a requirement to purr (or even sound like it's not going to blow up..)
