Last week I motored 1100 miles in one week. So want you say? Where did I go you ask? Well actually nowhere really. I usually drive 500-600 miles a week. Half for work, half for pleasure. I didn't travel anywhere more than an hours drive, if that! It was probably just a combination of a few extra work trips and TONS of pleasure driving! And I try NOT to drive my MINI! Anyone else drive a heck of a lot and don't know where or how????

I drove 1200 in the first week that I owned my MCS. I had nowhere to go either, I take a different car to work

I just got my MCS a week ago and it just turned 1000 miles. I'd say 70% pleasure/30% had too. But once the pulley arrives I suspect an 80/20

When I took delivery of my MCS Feb 28, I promised myself that I would limit my mileage by alternating between my MCS and my TrailBlazer. Well, 4500 MCS miles later I just realized that I've only put 200 miles on the TrailBlazer What the heck, the Mini is way too fun to drive.

Got mine dec 23. Couldnt drive it for 3 days because of snow (indianapolis weather sucks). So from dec26-dec27 I drove it 1200 miles :smile: Drove it home 9xx miles, then just around town the same day I got home. Now I have 12,0xx Miles on it.

well, my trip to Deal's Gap ended up putting 1400 miles over four days
However, I think Clover has us all beat, with over 10.5k miles in 6 weeks

Cheers,
Ryan

while I'm not in the same league as clover, I have motored 10,500 miles in the 11 weeks since I got my Roxy.

Lots of killer road trips in there, but mostly commuting back and forth and for work

While not as high as the previous posts, I've done 8100 since 1-31-03 when I took delivery of JoeGreen. About 3000 were racked up between 4-9 and 5-15. I'd say that the business/pleasure split is 50/50. Going to TIJ sneak preview tonight but that will be only 2 miles. Motor on!!!

I got it last June, and turned over 22K miles last week. Runs like a champ.
