It was also a bit of a celibration for the CHiP the 240. On satarday it made it past the 200,000 mile mark.

Next time the 340 will be going so should be much more fun :D

Good idea Steve. Both me and Gem were gutted that we could not make it, but we could not give up the opportunity to see the Terracotta Army exhibition plus the view from our hotels bar wasn't bad...

And this is how Nessy finished almost certainly her last journey as a B14 car...just over 207k, and with next to no fuel in the tank ;-) Yes, I know the temp gauge isn't wired up...
