Milestone
 
Hit a milestone today and thought I would post. The next time all the digits align will be 111,111 miles from now, if I'm still around and the car is too. The Jag is
still running and looking gorgeous.

Congrats on the milestone! Always nice to see these cars driven generously.

How satisfying! Whenever I have approached a significant figure I have invariably just missed it. On more than one occasion, 99,999 miles - a quick glance at the road - then 100,001.

You've now got the engine well broken-in. Time to go fast and long.

If a quick glance loses two miles you are driving very quickly!

The next noteworthy mileage is closer than you think. It has to be 123,456.

I'm headed to the 150,000 mile mark in a month or so, then a big milestone of 200,000 miles in about a year at my current rate of driving. I get more of kick from seeing the daily total after a 12-14 hour day behind the wheel, than I do from the car's total milage. Either way these cars are a hoot to drive ALL DAY LONG then get catch a few zzzzz's and do it again. That was me last week. My SO spent a week in Iowa sayin goodbye to close friend who wasn't going to get out of the hospital alive. My job was to drive about 700 miles overnight, pick her up, w and after a long nap, drive the 700 miles back home.

Despite the lousy weather. And the incident of Running squarely over a box 4 feet square that was filled with 25 full size pillows, the trip was exhilarating.

re the pillow box, /It had fell out of a truck right in front of me in the middle of Kansas City. All lanes full and no where to swerve, so I hit the thing going 80 mph. Pillow explosion deluxe. It was about 8 miles before I could pull over safely and extricate the remains of the box and about 7 pillows from the undercarriage. Not a scratch on the car from the impact. Dodged a bullet there.
