time to scrap?

[highlander]

just ticked over to 50017................guess I need to scrap the old girl now..........or keep her because no-one in their right British mind will buy her with such high miles

 

[Almichie]

Mine just rolled over 60k. I nearly cried!

 

[Trev Latter]

Just clocked up 60k on mine too. 4500 miles so far since Feb.

Pah, after going down to Modena and back mines done 75k now, although it's on its second engine due to hydolock. Keep on top of the maintenance and they'll go on for 200k+, I saw an assetto Corsa with 150,000km on the clock.

96k only one clutch but now showing 100% wear

 

[midlifecrisis]

I changed my clutch at 73k-ish, ie two weeks ago(!) and I think that was the original one, it was at 87% and with the Modena trip coming up I was cautious and so I bit the bullet of expense. I think that there's a big fallacy about these cars being heavy on clutches, it all depends on the driving style, IMHO.

Is that all? There are UK cars with 140k miles and some Euro cars with 240k miles on them

Mines gone from 25 - 61k in just under 4 years of hard weekend use and is still going strong.

Lol that is the truth. If anyone tells you a 3200 doesn't throw Cels or limp mode at least a few times a year they aren't driving it or are simply lying!

My old banger's never ever given any problems in the last 3 years or so,and with lots of high speed thrashs down to southern europe
Its exactly the same as it came out of the factory 13 years ago..

It just turned over 25k at the weekend..it had 10k on the clock when I bought it.

Who said old 3200GT Masser's were unreliable!

The more miles you put on them the better they are...as long as they have been looked after and serviced well.......Keep driving gents.
