You must keep us updated...how many miles on her now? Tracking your miles has been the most exciting thing since the slow-speed O.J. chase!

Hit 110K this week. Starting to feel a vibration at higher revs - might be time for some motor mounts...

Well I'm up to 132000 now. I guess I'm driving somewhere around 3300 miles a month now. In the last 6 months I havn't done any Mini runs and my car has been sitting more because I have been working out of town.

For everyone that don't know I Autocross my Mini and I have won the last 5 out of 6 races in the SM Class. So my Mini has served me Well. Anyway I get about 150 miles on my mini everytime I do a Autocross event because it is so far away.

I hit 140000 a few weeks ago

Looks like dbwilldo drives as much or more than I do. A few weeks ago I hit 140000. But right now no mile are being added because my Mini is in the Body Shop.

I need to start a topic called how many times has your Mini been in the Body Shop. Mini has been in 4 times now.

I have hit a pole in a parking lot(back into it.) I was rear ended in 2006. I hit a deer in October of 2007. And Rear ended again one week ago.

It's a shame we can't get one of the magnetic badge vendors to make us a 100K+ badge...

I'm only at 116K. Working from home more often now, so I'm driving less...

I need a Badge that says " If you rear end me I will hit you with a Bat" or maybe " You can Look but don't Touch"

That looks cool.
Too bad it's a sticker and not an actual grille badge.

I just have a little over 119K on my MC.

All you have to do is get a bit of magnet & a pair of scissors.

...saftey warning...

No running with scissors.

Or contact Thompson at Kewl Auto Art & he could make you one.

dbwilldo,

I'll probably never match you, but I'm still proud that MS MINIVER has made it this far, though to be honest, only about 6K of them are my doing. I bought her late last year with about 84K on her, but she has been very good to me ever since.

I'm now to 152000 on my Mini.

About a month ago I put a new clutch in my mini. It had not gone bad or anything I just wanted to go ahead and put one in. So I should be good for another 100000 Miles.

I'm pushing 192k. It's not perfect, but still pretty good.

Need to rebuild the suspension (front and rear) and replace the radiator. And the door lock motors. Otherwise, not a lick of problems.

I'm now at 157000

Things have slow down a bit as far as driving my Mini everyday. I only work 4 days a week now so I don't drive that 100 Mile around trip on Fridays.


Anyway the Mini is still going!!!! And I'm still motoring.
