1st Gen 100K+ Just a little over 100K

Get a longer driveway.... rrr:

 

Awesome!

200K is so impressive. Especially since you say that in 200K your MINI has only been to the dealer TWICE? Man, my '04 R50 and now my '07 R56S both must have been built on Fridays. The only real reason I got the '07 R56S is I had so many issues on the R50. And the R50 had only 59K miles on it! My R56S has now been to the dealer more than I care to say from the Cold Start issue, to a broken seat frame (I only weigh 180, c'mon!), to the ECU tripping up and having the whole thing reset. Hey, but I LOVE my MINI just the same and I hope I can drive on to 200K. :yesnod:

 

Hello from Ireland!
My 2002 R53 Cooper S has 106,000 miles on it and is flying.
No problems at all :smile5:

 

138K on mine - I'm sure I'll have it until 150K at least.

Are those 100K badges actually available?

 

just hit 90k on my 2006 and yes, those badges are real, just got one from MINIBee and should be able to put in on shortly.

 

Congradulations, I think its the Electric Blue that gets it done. Never drove mine til I retired and they are racking up fast. So far nothing major pushing 100K.

 

OK MINIBee - I'll bite - how does one obtain one of these???

 

My car was built on a Wednesday, so I hope it will last. That said, the money to fix pretty much any single problem on the car will always be cheaper than a new car, or most quality used cars. So from an accounting aspect, I can keep my car indefinitely. Realistically though, I might be hit with huge successive repair bills.

 

I believe MINIBee bought the these from Quality Pins. They had several laying around from a previous order and he grabbed what they had left. Guess you could give them a ring and see if they have any left.

 

I've contacted Gary at Quality Lapel Pins - we can have more made up, but the order has to be at least 15. And they are $30 ea.

NEMINI had club grille badges made with him, and the quality is excellent. Well worth the price. But I can't afford 15 of them...

Any other takers?

 

hi!i joined this club a few months back...116800 is on the odo right now

 

I would be interested.

OK Mark - you're on the list!

I've also offered this at NEMINI and PhillyMINI. I'm closing the group buy there this coming Sunday. We don't have 15, but it's close enough that I'll just buy a few extras in order to get us up there...

 

Wow my 77 Mini doesn't even have a 100,000 miles on her..

 

Wow that's pretty great for 200k. It also settles me to know that your clutch lasted to 191k. :lol: How did you manage to only change the brakes twice?

 

I hit 100k in my Cooper around mid June. 500 or so miles later my transmission said it has had enough. Besides the blown trans, I've had the clutch changed at 60k, and some other minor things break. After I get my car back, I'll hope to put as many miles as possible on it......until the transmission pops again.

 

Just got back from 4500 miles trip to MITM4 in Colorado and hit 91K still have original front brake pads and only had one clutch under warranty put in so far. Its 2005 and original battery. 4 more major events this year so should be very close by end of year.

 

phfff... 06 with 117k....

 

I'm at 84,000 and closing fast. I'll likely break 100,00 well before MOTD8.
