Default Hit 88,888 miles today - small milestone ( pic )

Well, on my travels to not so sunny Ireland this week ( the Northern provinces ) catching up with customers new and old.
Some good craic ( banter ) was had, a few laughs, a lot of beer, oh and some business too....lol
Had only a few days but saw Enniskillen and Lisnaskea, Armagh, Lisburn, through Omagh and up through Cookstown and onwards to Magherafelt, spent some time in and around Belfast and Newtownards too.

Stayed at the same hotel I used to frequent some ten years ago, walked into the bar to be greeted by "Well, hello Jim!".....lol
Remembered even after 10 years, had me worried and had to asked if I was so memorable, was it good, or bad.....lol

Anyhow, heading down to Belfast this morning aware as I was at 88,878 miles and wanted to try and catch all the 8's, managed to succeeed......

Indeed. If you were here in the States, you'd be obliged to climb in the back seat, while doing 80 mph, turn and face the rear of the vehicle, take a selfie with the odometer showing. Then instantly post on Instagram, Facebook and tweet about it too.

Otherwise, it's all talk my friend. We don't even know if that's your Jag...

Damn kids.... get off my lawn.

Well, approaching the 100,000 mile marker now

Sitting at 99,952 as we speak so any day now, trying to get the 3 pic combo of 99,999 and 100,000 as well as 100,001

Looks like you have overtaken me Jim Only 97,000 here. But I do about 30,000-35,000 a year in another vehicle.

Well done on capturing that. I always miss the nice numbers .

My V6 3.0 has just clocked over 200,000 miles. I missed seeing it by three miles!
