    So, do you remember where you were when you achieved 100,000 miles on your MINI?

    It happened for me this past week while driving the Dragon on my way to registration at Fontana. For those of you who are familiar with the route I was on 129 heading to the intersection at 28. Right by the Harley Davidson hangout.

    I knew it would happen on the trip, but didn't know where. I took this picture on the Dragon when I reached 99,999.

    And this one was when I could safely pull off the road.

    My car is a 2009 JCW. I am the 2nd owner and thanks to the 1st owner, this car is still pulling strong. I'm in no mind to part with it. :cornut:

    So where were you when it happened?

    Yes I do. I was on 270 at 33 doing 70. I remember putting my first mile on too. There was 8 on the speedo when I took delivery. Congrats on your milestone Jeff. :Thumbsup:

    I was on the Brent Spence bridge between Covington KY and Cincinnati OH. I was going to a Bengals game in Dec 2009.

    Mine will be in the future since I am only at 82 K right now on an 06.

    Maybe I can hit 100 K on the Dragon next year and join the club.

    Jan had just tuned my MINI and I took it for a test drive on 28. What a great way to hit 100k!

    At my current pace it will take almost 4 more years before I hit 100K miles.

    I was motoring along on the dyke of the north shore of the Fraser River in the Queensborough area of New Westminster BC when my car crossed the 160,000km mark (100,000 miles).

    While my wife usually drives her Mini (Clover), a 2006 S hardtop, I have accumulated a healthy batch of miles on it, including 8000 last summer in MTTS

    As she was approaching 100K, I begged her to record the momentous occasion on her iphone...this is what I got....oh well lol

    [​IMG]

    P.S. If she let me take it to the Dragon, I would have seem the magic number somewhere in NC or TN!

    Thankfully my MCS is nowhere near 100K. Though I do have a pic of my old 94 Honda Del Sol VTEC turning over 200K at 100 MPH. The pic was taken by my passenger as that woulda been way too risky to do myself. Though at this point, I think only my buddy has a copy of it now. Damn, that was almost 10 years ago.
