need for speed · Feb 12th, 2003, 11:39 PM

ha guys i am interested in how many Kms every one has done in MCS in the short time we have had them.

ive had my MCS since 31 aug 02 and i have done 21500 kms with the a top speed of 223 kmh

warped · Feb 12th, 2003, 11:59 PM

Where the hell have you been driving?!?

That is a lot of kms ... I have only managed to notch up 10,000km in 2 years in my S3 admittedly working in Melbourne during the week turned the car into a weekend driver

but damn that is a lot of kms!!!

But have to admit I have exceeded your top speed

Not my much though ...

Given my MCS doesn't arrive for another couple of months I haven't racked up any physical miles yet (except for about 150 kms in demonstrators

) but must have done at least a couple of thousand 'virtual' kms ... currently living vicariously through any posted MINI driving footage

IML337 · Feb 13th, 2003, 12:14 AM

must have been a decent downhill to get 223!!

Since October 12 I've done 10500km, though it's slowed down a lot in recent weeks... I have to do over 25000 a year for tax reasons, but my lifestyle makes that fairly easy fortunately.

Top speed has only been about 160

Steve, you should come on the 16th march meet! You'll realise when you get an S how easy it is to drive that much!

I did 1000km a week for a few weeks - running around all week and two meets to attend on the weekends or holidays out of town... so much fun though!!

Tim, 16th March would be fun but I don't know whether I should put myself through that sort of experience with at least another month and a half wait before my car arrives

Its frustrating enough as it is seeing the photos / videos on the site ...

FLiPSiDE · Feb 13th, 2003, 04:54 AM

i've racked up almost 12,000 since the 26th of september, tho a fair amount of that was in the first month or 2

as for speed.. well i wouldnt admit to breaking the law but i've heard about a guy in a car that looks just like mine doin a tad over 200 without realising it, glancing at the speedo and promptly slowing down

Boo · Feb 13th, 2003, 07:44 AM

I have knocked up 19550 km since Nov 4 with a top speed of 155 on the track

Sometimes i think my but must be stapled to the seat the amout of time i have been in it

Boo, those ks are only the ones where you were actually touching the ground.

If you included the other times, we'd have some impressive figures.

By the way, I've got it up to 170 on the 'track'. Nice feeling.

If I don't speak to you before Saturday, both of you have a great time and hurry back safe and sound.

Regards, ElTel

Will do, thanks....
Will need to get back soon enough otherwise the withdrawals will be too much to handle

Nice speed

Did you see this video I posted in the Booze Cruise thread??

We have done 8k since August. Our car is not a daily driver.

Oh, and our top speed has been about 145 (all done in a closed environment officer)

Gee that's a nice BRG MCS you are following there

Love the video, Melody watched it a few times and said "I love the Mini"

... just getting some together and will chuck it up on some web space tomorrow..

I'm going to try and put together a highlights package once I work this F*** thing out

I really think you should ask Cjay for a copy of that photo of his that i posted somewhere else with your car sharp, and the rest is blurred. it really is a must wallmount for you. You need to get it up quick while theres space before the wedding photos come

Johan · Feb 14th, 2003, 06:43 AM

I did 23000km with my MC last year from january-September, one trip Stockholm-Paris-Stockholm was 5000km in just a week =) I´m sure I´ll drive my MCS that much to =)

Goul · Feb 17th, 2003, 12:48 AM

August 02 till now 4000km.
Ive taken her to 205km.......

I think she had another 10-15km"s in her to go.

Smurfn · Feb 17th, 2003, 02:57 AM

I've had mine since 23/10/02 and done ~6500km, with a top speed of 150km/h (Christmas Day)
