i was watching out for 10,000 miles so carefully, but when it came, i was 'stranded' in the middle of a journey with no camera. Disgusted! Good idea for a thread though, I def wanted to show off my 10,000 had I had a pic!

You've even gone to the trouble of working out exactly when to zero your trip meter in order to get both meters to tie in with each other. Now that's dedication!!

For such dedication (in the persuit of the completely and utterly trivial) have some Rep Points!

That definitely deserves rep. Absolutely brilliant.

Got a long way to go to beat it with a 098765 432.1

Done too many miles for 009876 543.2

Only way to beat it would be with a 123456 789.0

It was acceptable in the 80's

My next planning will have to be for 27,772 (27.7) which matches my number plate, which matches my DOB.

If you haven't got the Sat Nav option you can't do these configurations.

The trip meter comes first on the display on the central speedo. I just missed out on doing 333.3 033333.

D'oh!

Credit where credit's due. 12345 - 678.9 = 11,661.1 and then you had to remember to do it bang on time. You probably had to leave a post it note on the speedo as a reminder, I know that I would have had to have done.

Imagine the frustration of forgetting by even just 1 mile. You would have had to have traded the car for a new one and then started the whole process again! Now there's an interesting excuse for a MINI upgrade.

Personally I don't think it would work if I tried it with Eeyore
