Well, it looks like I can claim the highest so far. My car is outside my parents' place (just visiting for the weekend) and it reads exactly 80000 miles.
That's not a whole lot and I don't expect my title to last too long.
Well, someone told me I'd been mentioned in this new thread. So, I checked.
I'm the Wisconsin guy who, as of today, has 227,000 miles on my 2002 MINI Cooper.
That's no big deal really: - I only have this one car so it gets All my miles, Winter and Summer -
and - I'm an 81 year old retired engineer, so I've got lot's more time to drive than you young folks.
I'm all alone now, no lawn to mow, no big dog to rush home to feed; - I kinda "got it made".
I've always loved to drive - and did it for 45 years before the MINI in Great German Cars.
But, I've Never had a car This Good - or This Much Fun to drive; - just can't stay out of this thing!
I could go on and on telling of the unbelievable reliability and absence of problems w/ my MINI.
But, sun's shining; - another great sunroof day; - and a lot more of this glorious world to see!
I think HWS is in another league
If my boss had let me have a mini for work back in 2003 I would have been around the 300,000mile mark by now! but he didn't so I now drive volvo in the week and the mini is for the weekend
HWS you know how to beat the rest when it comes a Mini adventure 277K thats some mileage, by the way welcome to Mini2 with that mileage you will have a lot of feed back to give review coming on i hope. :red:
Congratulations, HWS! That's some mileage, and it inspires me to keep my Mini. I was concerned that reliability might be a problem. Indeed, it might, but I think I'll just keep it serviced properly and see what happens!
I was considering getting an Alfra Romeo, where reliability problems are pretty much guaranteed, so sticking with the Mini may be wise.
Thank You, YellowMININY !
I'd not have known about the planned 2008 Coast-to-Coast MINI Drive without your help.
I'm truly interested - and just asked them to save me a spot if still possible.
I'll try to stay "In Training" till then.
So, can't talk any more now.
Gotta Go.
I'm a MINI Motoring Adviser in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and he was just sat at my desk and mentioned this thread to me. He just brought his car in for new tires and it left here with precisely 228,019 miles on it.
