100,000 count down.

Hey all. I thought it would be fun to count down to 100000 with pictures so here we go. Everyday I will try to post the miles at the end of the day.
Pic one from yesterday.

Pic two from today.

I forgot to tell that I have a 2004 Mini so I put about 3800 miles on my MINI a month.
But yes I'm very silly.

I love it! I'm about 8K behind you - it'll be near the end of the year before I hit 100K...

Here is a few tip to help you get to 100k faster.
First you must drive 120 miles to and from work.
Second go to Mini events that are about 150 miles round trip.
Go to a few Autocross events that are also 150 miles round trip.
Take off to the Dragon 4 times in one year.

That is what I did to get to where I am now.

But I'm glad you like this thread. Thanks

Holy Crap!

You are catching up to me pretty quick.



And I thought my commute was bad, racking up 125K miles since March '03.

Nicely done...I'll be watching

I really wasn't which to use. That a good point.

15%Alta Pulley has been on since 50,000 with was back in June 2005.The BMP CAI has been on my Mini since the 2005 Dragon. The Screamin Demon and Nology Hotwires have been on my Mini Since June 2004. The MTH Tuner since October 2005. The Alta Exhaust only a few months. Alta Sway Bar just a few months and the Alta Short Shifter only a few weeks.
I haven't had any problem with any of the mods I have put on my MINI. Well the Green Pads are already gone after only about 20,000. The brakes that was on the car from day one, lasted until 70,000.
I have had one motor mount that went bad and that is all I have had go bad.
My MINI has had 5 set of tires on it since I got it. One set don't count because they were free.

Well no picture tonight but I'm coming up on 94,000. The count down maybe put on hold because today My MINI was rear Ended. So off to the body shop it will go. The part that sucks is my MINi was just in the body shop back in December for Bumper work.
So Thanks for letting me tell my story. Let me tell ya it hurts to see my MINI like this!. I will try to get a picture up of the damages tomorrow.
