How many miles and when did you get it?

Just wondering how much people actually drive their MINIs. Got my latest one on 12/5/12 and I've already racked up 12,100 miles. Anyone else?

We don't tend to drive that many miles, with the JCW we picked him up about 11 months ago and we're up to 9300 miles. Tristan we picked up 6 years ago and have gone 48,000 miles, that's more typical for us.

I picked my 2013 Clubman S on July 2nd...I've put 2900 miles on her since. Granted, 2450 of those miles were a road trip from Chicago to Savannah, GA and back.

Wow! You may drive even less than I do: I picked mine up on 5/17/13 and as of 7/23, I've put about 2,600 miles on it -- which includes a vacation trip of a little over 1,000 miles.

Got my Countryman on July 13th, and it hit 1200 miles yesterday. At this rate, I'll be off warranty in no time!

Got Fizzgig Aug 7, 2002. I have 13,100 miles on the clock. Wish I could drive more, but health and car problems limit my wheel time. I need to pull the trans and fix/replace problems with the clutch. I paid a reputable garage to do the clutch and limited slip install - won't look at it cause it is 'not their fault'. Which is strange since I never accused them of anything.

Picked up "Sunny" on 7/16/2008 with 3 miles on it, now just shy of 68k miles today. Using as my daily driver with a thirty mile commute. Great car to drive.
