I wish. I have 15 or more years of working before I can even begin to consider the BFree part. btw, that's one of the meanings behind the plate.

If you hang in FL long, perhaps I'll pass you on the X-way. I drive to Orlando for Christmas. 15-1/2 hours straight and I'm still sorry the motoring is over when I get there.

 

I know what you mean; - friends say,
"Sure - he drives everywhere - but, he doesn't get out of the car!"

 

Dang! 303K! I thought I was doing good at 176K!
I was thinking about picking up a new model ... but I just have too much time in this car to give it up.

I hit 80,000 miles a couple days ago... Never thought I'd be so happy to put that many miles on the car. :D

 

I am the original owner of COOOOOP - although I did not buy him from a dealer. He had 998 miles when I got him but he had never been registered. I got him from a guy who bought him at an auction in Vegas - and I never did get the real story as to how that came to be... Mine is a June 2002 build.

In any case, I have seen no reason to trade in my MINI for a newer model. Plus, I prefer the Supercharger to the Turbocharger anyway...

 

That's funny! Sounds like you have it all in perspective - and you have the right equipment too!

Rock On, Brother!!!

 

02' MCS here... just turned 83,3xx miles tonight!

 

Got mine about 8 months ago.I have owned mustangs and wrxs.This is the funnest car I have ever owend. I have 63,000 on the clock

 

I am at 90k+ and car is running great.

 

Got mine in 2002 - it came over in the second batch from England. 130,000 km. Now on the third transmission, fourth windscreen, and second oil pan. All but the last windscreen replacement under warranty. Dang rocks.

It's been great once the dealer "de-bugged" it. Plan to keep driving it 'till it rusts away.

 

just picked up my 02 on wednesday evening. cooper s with JCW aerokit in silver color. love it so far.

 

02 with over 100k here. Got it with 95k over the summer though.

 

Pure Silver MC @ 60,000. Got it January 2007 with 38,000.

 

07/02 mcs 33000 miles all is good

 

Picked up my 02 MCS in liquid yellow from a private sale in Jan of this year. Low on options and mileage (currently at about 35k miles). I had totalled my '90 325is in the snow and needed a fast replacement and the price was right.

So far the car has been great. There is the odd issue such as stumbling that makes me wonder if the software has ever been upgraded...

 

i have an 02 and im only at 53,000 miles.. i keep em in good shape

long live benny the jet

 

i have a 2002 mini cooper. It has a black body, white roof, wheels, and mirror caps. This beautiful car just turned over 146000 miles.... its sweet. still running stong

 

Hi Scott,
I'm relieved to hear that someone else has the same issue and that it is not a sign of MINI abuse. My brother says it is probably the clockspring for the airbag, but I have no idea how much it will cost to repair.
Motor on!

 

Build date - 06/2002. He was the wife's car, brought him home from the dealer in Sept 2002. Now he's got 87,700 miles on. Going strong, power steering pump died last week, did the suspension and stuff listed in my sig in the last 2 months. Car is even more fun now and since the wife no longer drives it (she's got the family wagon now) - I took off the run flats - made it even better.

 

Bought my car MCS BRG on February from 2003.Bought in Germany and delivered to Spain where i live, in 5 years only 60.000Km, now im moding the whole car including the engine.
I love it, british racing green forever

 

06/02 build date, PS/PS MCS purchased new. I was at the dealer the first day they opened. Only have 12,900 miles on Fizzgig. Lots of mods and more awaiting install on the shelves in the garage. Most enjoyable car I've ever owned. Actually exceeds my expectations. Plan on keeping Fizzgig forever - keeping all stock parts. Love it!

 

I also have a 06/02 build Dark Silver MCS. Very fun car and due to it being a first year model, I got it for a pretty good deal. I enjoy driving it everyday and on the track. The odo just kicked past the 100,000kms mark the other day.
