R50/53 Low Miles MINI Call Out...
To give you the other extreme of the mileage spectrum, there is a '02 MCS owner here in Florida that has managed to put already 90,000 miles in his car in less than 2 years of motoring!

No clue on history, though from the appearance it was a weekend only car, garaged the rest of the time. It still smelled new, and had no signs of wear anywhere. Add in that it was the color I wanted, with no options at all, perfect for my major mods plans, and I am a happy camper.
I just posted 286 miles/month on another thread, however that includes non driving winter months. My commute is 20 miles and it is 2/3 rural Ohio and a third suburbia and a bit of freeway. I LOVE to drive PKT RKT to work (though I should get off my dead *** and change the full hard setting on the rear shocks) :smile:

3 months and 490MI, I've been driving a winter car (Chevy Prizm- which the lease ended on yesterday) to put the miles on that. Have a van for the next 2 weeks (moving- rental the comp is paying for). So middle May, I begin with my MCS as my "daily driver"...
But then I'm in Switzerland most of June, so maybe in July I'll begin routine motoring??? I drive ~300MI each weekend, but walk to work weekdays... So I'll be squarely in the "1200MI/month club"...

2300 miles in a little over seven months and 500 of that was a trip to the dealer.
Us old folks don't drive much....you know, "it belonged to a little old man/woman who only drove it on Sundays".
That and five vehicles to divide my driving among.

>>I am now defending the War on Terrorism. I defend freedom within the military just so you all can motor the freeways and byways as you wish. I love my job defending freedom, and as long as you all do me a favor and just give me a wave, I'm happy with that!
You and your brothers get more than a wave from me.,,,bar tab, lunch whatever.
Anyhow 8 mos, 3K,, that's only 375 per month,,working out of the house has it's advantages and disadvantages. Even though I have three cars, it's the only one I drive, which tells you how many miles I have put on my other cars ( my wife does drive the suburban).

Got my Mini in October 04' and after 8 months it has 1200 miles on it! That is 150 miles per month average. I take a train to work everyday so the only time I drive the Mini is on the weekends.
I've had mine for exactly 6 months and have only 28,000 some miles. The reasons are I kept it garaged all winter days when the roads weren't clear. That's almost zilch where I live. I don't usually drive it to work because I park among crazed college students (no offense crazed college students). I have a Saab that's perfect for those roles. But now that spring is here I am looking forward to some long trips etc.
Yes, I admit to being an overprotective owner. :smile:
