wooooooooooo hoooo 100,000 miles has been achieved

hello everyone well today i have finally hit 100,000 miles on my 02 mini cooper s, man how exciting, i remember the first day i got her and drove her home, never could i have imagined blowing a 50,000 mile waranty in one year, i was my dealers first oil change on a mini, oh the memories!!!
but when i got laid off the miles stoped piling on so i geuss that wasnt all that bad but anyhow took some pics of her on her last moments of being a below 100 thousand mile car, and will post

the car has held up amazingly and everybody who knows me knows how hard i drive her but i have to be hosnest by saying this by far has been the most rock solid best car i have ever owned!!!

lets hope that i can smack another 100k on their before to much problems occure

anywho just thought id post !!!and talk to ya all lata

chris

So does this mean we now have two MINIs in the 100k club? :smile:


I need to find that other old thread of a guy with 135K+ on his 02.

Here's the gallery FAQ or if the picture is under 800 by 800 pixels you can just upload it using the "manage attachments" feature when you post.

Just curious - how many miles does the 15% pulley have on it and what problems have you had with the car, if any?
