Going strong!

 

I have an '03 R50 [09/02 build] I bought in March,'04 with 2,200 miles on it. It has a CVT and 55k trouble-free miles on it so far, but I only drive it sparingly now and mostly to car shows. It's Dragon-slaying days were over in 2013, and it stopped going to the track in '05.

 

Mine turned 10 years old this weekend just over 90K.

 

Wow.....this is weird. Was just thinking that it was about 12 yr ago I contacted the MINI dealership via email about how to get a new one. Looked at my old emails and realized I had initiated contact 12 yrs ago today. Took delivery 12/6/2003

 

You guys really need to get out & drive more....

My R53 just turned 10 in May and, in that time, it's covered a whopping 65,928 miles. I had a few beers in celebration, on its behalf!

 

Jul 2002 build, took delivery in Sept 02, 193,xxx miles and still going strong!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZIPPY!!!!!

 

I have a friend who got his 2002 Cooper S in March, it was one of the first S models into the country and he feels he was lucky to get it.

Next month we're going to spend quite a bit of his money doing some improvements and maintenance, including a new clutch, new suspension bushings and a new Power steering pump and hoses, with the idea that he'll have it at least another 10 years and another 100K!

 

Mine is a June build 2002 Cooper delivered in August. Still going strong, and no plans to get rid of it anytime soon.

 

June must have been a high production month, the 02 Cooper I had was also a June build...:sosp:
