Have had my MINI since 1st June 2003 and have only convered 2500 miles so far

And even this has been covered on longer than average journeys.

Anyone else who hasn't covered many miles since taking delivery of their MINI?

Do you commute in your MINI? Or just use it for 'fun'?

Oh yes I can beat that

I've had my Cooper since July 2002 and have we only done 6500 miles

together (and that includes numerous MINI runs!)

My journey to and from work is only short and because my wife and I work within close proximity to each other we share cars.

goonermini · Nov 26th, 2003, 12:52 PM

5000 since Jan 03 - not much at all either!

Blimey

Don't you love you MINI

I think you should join us on a few runs

AprilWhine · Nov 26th, 2003, 03:53 PM

less than 15,000 since June 02. I don't use my MINI to commute, but did go to Canada for MME in it this year.

IBMiniG · Nov 26th, 2003, 04:45 PM

Have had MINDI for a bit more than a year and covered a bit more than 10k mi. Commute 7 mi to work, and have been a bit protective, this year she might even get to go up to the mountains

MINI guy in SF,CA · Nov 26th, 2003, 04:57 PM

6000 since November '02. City dwellers, with another (more reliable) car for trips beyond walking distance to the dealer. We'd use it if something didn't go wrong every two weeks.

chughes163 · Nov 26th, 2003, 05:24 PM

9580 since 24th May

I reckon my father in laws S is pretty low, I'll check later.

AidenL · Nov 26th, 2003, 06:42 PM

March 02, 12,900 miles...........

I've got friends that get off on having a nice car home in the garage with little or no miles put on them year after year. As for me, I don't fret over the Miles per gallon my cars get me. I'm more interested in the smiles per mile they give me. My 1988 Corvette has over 180,000 miles and while it's monitary value is very little, I can say that I never once regreted making that $556.00 monthly pmt for the first 5 years I owned it. Now that I've purchased the MCS in June 2003, the Corvette is taking a rest. As for the MCS, I'm not saving it for anyone. The wife and I put over 800 miles on the MCS in the last three days with a trip to Key West and back. As for the ride, 7 and a half hours with only short stops to take a leak and we were home sitting in the driveway wishing we had the time to head out west. With 6,000 miles on the meter and cruising at 85 -90 for several hours, the MCS performed flawlessly.

Don't save it! Use it!

tim.stephenson · Nov 26th, 2003, 08:20 PM

march 2002, only just done 8500 miles

Fizzle · Nov 26th, 2003, 08:29 PM

thats the main reason i havnt ordered my cooper yet as i seem to be doin less and less miles. covered just 2500 miles since april in my current car. i see it as bein a waste of a car as well as a waste of money. dont want to buy a bus pass either so i think the cooper will still be arriving sum time soon.

LMB · Nov 26th, 2003, 08:32 PM

July 03 - 3,800 miles

Of which 1,500 were done in the first two weeks.

dietcokeplease · Nov 26th, 2003, 08:38 PM

I think Mickey Gem was the winner last time something like this was posted - 1500 miles in 2 years or so.

I covered 6000 miles in my MINI - 95% of which were attending MINImeets.

NEMINI · Nov 26th, 2003, 08:44 PM

1 year - 12,000 miles would be more but I haven't worked in several months, so no commute miles to speak of, I'd estimate of those 12,000 miles 8,000 miles of them are MINI meets/runs/ralleyes

mrhollio · Nov 26th, 2003, 11:12 PM

2 weeks short of a year and I just hit 8800.... this is my lowest 1 year mile total ever.

SteveM3 · Nov 26th, 2003, 11:25 PM

1,000 miles since early Sept. I get my Mini just as I get a new job within
walking distance. Now I just interrupt peoples conversations "I'm going
to Bath to see..." "DO YOU WANT A LIFT?"

mia · Nov 27th, 2003, 01:12 PM

may 17 2002 and just turned 10,000 miles on november 24 2003! i keep all this "important" info in my MINI journal, in my glove box!
