06 R53: 30k

Yesterday, I hit the 30k mile mark. Yeah, just now. I feel so way behind the times.

My Week 36 of 2006 MCS is almost grown up. I'm probably the last one.

So, I have to ask -- how far behind everyone else am I on miles?

Aw, Tess

Clara (Tess and Blimey's W3606 mate) had a little over 103k when I traded her. I heard last week they sold her. I wonder if they had to put a new CVT in her first.

Most of those miles were Black Forest and Alps miles.

Thanks to all you folks who are keeping your MINIs as garage queens & keeping the miles off them. Once I wear mine out I'll be looking for a low mileage R53 replacement. That is going to be a long while from now. I figure it's got another 125K left in it.

Wow, I *do* feel a lot better about mine. She's my daily driver, it's just that, well, I run into long stretches when i don't drive daily (gee, thanks, work) and now we're on an island. Blimey's right - I had a few good miles on her before we came to Oahu, and since here, the farthest we've "driven" has been to Maui. I'm just glad to hear that it's socially acceptable to be at a mere 30k at this point.
