JoeGreen is at 74353 after 3 years, 1 month, 23 days, and he has seen 30 states and 3 provinces. That would be about 25 K per year, which has been my usual mileage on just about every auto I've owned in the past 20 years. I do short in-town commutes and a lot of long, long trips. We've been motoring in every kind of weather and on every road surface known to man. Joe still looks like new and his OEM parts are holding up beautifully!

I drove more than 10K miles in the first 6-8 weeks I had Wanda. I'm at about 55K now (she's an '03). Some of my travels involve flying around the US to visit MINI pals, so I end up motoring in THEIR MINIs.

Took delivery mid April '05, got about 6K on the clock. Would have been less but we're inbetween Bimmers right now. Have a '07 530i SMG on order, but I keep punting the delivery date as I'm hoping they'll bring out the twin turbo 535i. This will be the wife's car.

My MCS is at 3,659 miles and I took delivery on February 11th, 2006...Way too many miles - time to start alternating cars before I get as bad as some of you...
