Restraint! :cornut:

It started out as avoidance of the winter road chemicals and from there it became a garage pampered, low mileage stress relief on weekends...oh and it has never lost that new car smell. :biggrin5:

 

Congrats on your low mileage restraint. I don't have the willpower for that & my car usually has odd odors in the interior.

Love your signature!

 

I just checked I put 20k a year on my MINI the first 4 years I owned it. I moved in Oct 2006 and have only put 28k on it since.

 

Mine will turn 10 in July of '13, 101200 miles on the clock. About 800 of those are put on by me since I got it the 19th of October.

 

:cornut: Just a newb youngster here. Got Margi(08 R56 BRG MCS/JCWm)~ 2 Feb 08, so she's 5yrs4mos and 75kmi.

Daughter has an '02 with 88k... I have an '06 with 88k... hmmm

 

Thanks Rick!

 

13 years for me since the June build date (delivery mid-August). Had some steering related problems this year but still going strong.

 

August 02 build here. Owned since Dec of 05 and it has just under 85k on it.

 

My 2004 R50 is 11 and a half with 138K miles (Build date 11/03). Just did a new clutch and replaced the belt and tensioner to ward off evil spirits (they didn't really need in dire need of a change but...)

My MINI just turned 14 this month too.

And it is still doing great: http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/mini-stuff/27957-my-mini-champ.html

I put more miles on it in the first 2 weeks of this month than I put on it over all of the past 12 months.

 

My goal is to keep my R58 JCW until I croak whether that is this week or fifteen years from now.

However if it is fifteen years down the road I probably won't have to worry about driving because

I won't even know what day of the week it is!

 

My 2005 R53 (Best Year) Chili Red (the fastest color) June build has 98K - do not plan on selling

 

My 2005 has a Nov 2004 build date. So far only 47k mi. I'm the 3rd owner. It will be with me for a long time.

 

205,xxx - New heart and shoes and even stronger.

 

We bought a low-mileage '06 MCS a year ago that we love. It now has about 48K miles and we're looking forward to many more.
