R50/53 Post your miles!!!
Since this gentleman didn't know where to post his mileage and it may well be a MINI record I'll post it here.
I managed to put 158k on my '05 MCS but this guy takes the cake!

Hi, everyone.
I'm new to NAM - and lost.
I have no idea where to put this info which I posted 11/3/08 to MINIUSA.com
So, - I'll just repeat it here for now, and see what happens.
************** ***************
Hey - 300,000 miles Does Feel Good!
I never set out to reach any particular high mileage; -
but I really enjoy 'motoring' in this car - and the miles 'just keep adding up'.
Now, telling people about my car is almost as much fun as driving it.
(I've just added a few new pictures to my Profile Photo Album if you wonder what's left after all those miles)
You can't see on the pictures, but this car still has the original muffler, shocks, struts, suspension, engine, transmission, windshield (with a little chip). spark plugs, etc.. (Original Spark Plugs ??? - Yeah, when I asked about plugs at 277,000 miles, my dealer couldn't find any record that they'd ever been replaced!)
First Repair was rear brake pads and rotors at 186,000 miles, front brakes at 221,000, plus the alternator, steering pump, boot hinges, LED brake light strip, and clutch all somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 miles. Amazing Car!! Still as tight and solid and precise as a recent 19.000 mile 'loaner'.
The marker light in the left front fender is out now - but there is No Other Symptom
I could even ask about before I drive to spend Thanksgiving in Gainesville Florida.
Gas mileage stays between 34 and 37 mpg year 'round on 93 octane premium -
and the oil only drops about 1/8" on the stick between my 18,000 - 19,000 mile changes.
Trade for a Newer MINI? - - Why??
I'm not tired of her.
I'm not afraid of her.
I'm not ashamed of her.

I'm at nearly 141k now. I've only had it for 2k though!
