I only live 3 miles from work. I rack up the miles on camping road trips. My MINI has driven across TX,OK,NM,CO,UT,NV and CA. We are leaving for Yellowstone on the 27th so I will be able to add Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. I should have over 20,000 miles by the end of this summer. I would like to add that my MINI has never given me an ounce of trouble.

Update: we are now at 19987 miles and less than six months ownership! I think I may have a driving problem. Are there any drivers anonymous meetings that I can go to? The Yellowstone trip was awesome. check out the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pd7kgKsW-A

Dang, I thought I was a shoe in, 7600 miles in 4 weeks. I actually had the cumulative average speed thingy at 68mph for over 1500 miles, 'til the dealership reset it.

Roughly 2 months and 2 weeks = 8900 miles. :-) A trip to Colorado from LA (the scenic routes of course) and a quick weekend in Reno/Tahoe (more scenic, long routes). Ahh.....good times behind the windscreen.

Gee, I've dropped out of the running at 13,000. At one point I think I was leading. On the other hand, ALL of my mileage has been real motoring. My commute is...10 feet.

2050 and I'll have owned my MINI exactly 5 weeks tomorrow! Wish I could drive more but stupid school and work take up like all my time. At least I'm done with break-in... Longest trip thus far was DC (~100 one way). Oh and I live and work on campus so those are all real motoring miles as well.

13,500 and change. Had since April. I love this car more than I can express!

The road is calling again, and I am off work for a week, with no rain in sight.

13,600+ change. 95% serious freeway motoring @ average 75 MPH. Long commute daily 55 miles one way to work all 99% freeway driving with some prety good winding rolls.

Picked up August 7 with 3 Miles on the dial. Just can't stop motoring. Averaging 31.8 MPG before and after mods . Waiting for ECU upgrade.
