Countdown to 100,000 Miles! - MINI Cooper Forum

Willy · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 22nd, 2005, 08:06 PM

It's hard to believe, but my trusty 2003 MINI Cooper is hitting a major milestone! Even harder to believe is how it has been relatively trouble free. It certainly does not feel and look like a car with that type of mileage!

Today's Mileage 99,738

WOW!!

Thats incredible

Pre-congratulations! You'd have to be one of a very select few

Great stuff

When did you get it exactly - how many months/years old is it?

Willy · #4 (**permalink**) Nov 22nd, 2005, 08:20 PM

February 10, 2003 was my delivery date, so it's 33 months old. That averages about 3,030 miles a month.

Hey Sham... just traded my current car after 16k in 9 months

I'm assuming you didn't buy it on "restricted mileage" finance then, or the penalties will hurt!

So do we get a daily/weekly run down now?!

Pocketrocket · #15 (**permalink**) Nov 22nd, 2005, 10:39 PM

Good luck for 100k.

Get this...on my old Cosworth the head gasket failed at 99,998 miles!

Doh.
