I think every 10k is a mini milestone, but I'd say the next big one is 250k. Unless you would class moon mileage, which is a bit less!

202,020,2.0,2.0

My unwritten rules are:

Odometer = starting point
Trip meter = next challenge
Onboard computer = are you tough enough?

Odometer = 202020 = bronze

Plus

Trip meter = 2.0 = silver

Plus

Range / average MPG etc = 20 miles = gold

My Z4 reached a milestone while I was away on a trip just over a week ago.



I just liked how it read the same both ways! Shame I didn't do so well with the trip computer.

Then I got home and noticed my 3 Series had done just over 123,500 miles. Damn, I missed 123456.

My Daughter in law sent me this one last week.
Good effort for an amateur

No matching of time, trip or any other display, but the S212 E250 CDi i bought for £4,500 in February with 175,000 miles on the clock specifically for a twice weekly schlep from Sussex to tthe midlands (a work project) has hit 200k! Only unavoidable costs in that time have been 2 tyres and a service. It’s averaged 44mpg (calculated) and used no oil. The next service due in 8k miles, and I’ll have 4 cross climates fitted in the next couple of weeks. I have also voluntarily had the wheels refurbished to smarted it up a bit!

[bolidemichael]

A tantalising 1.1 miles over the trip reset limit for a double score!

Nice to hear to have a good one though.

[PSRG]

Haha yes, I knew that...but my OCD about having to reset the trip after refueling usurped the opportunity for a 200 miles / 200,000 miles @ 20:00

This wins the internet prize.
I don't know what the prize is, but you win it.
100k and 100 mph in a GT4, brilliant.

Platinum would be zooming out and capturing the above at 20mph @2020RPM, at 20:20 if there's a clock there too.

[bolidemichael]

I can't help feeling that it does seem to take some of the fun out of it!

Haha thanks.

There was a lot leading up to that too, sadly didn't have the car for 11,111 but i'll get 111,111 soon!

Order of merit of the odometer, supreme lifetime achievement knighthood award (GT4 class) to you.

Such dedication.

And here was I regretting not capturing the petrol pumps the other day when I noticed someone (someone special) opposite me put £77.77 in,
ON PUMP 7!

I pulled out my smartphone but the quasi-fascist kiosk police shouted loudly at me to stop over the suppression tannoy.
If they had had tasers, and use of such tasers wouldn't have caused Sainsburys Carlisle to explode, I think they would have zapped me.

Anyhow, I'm zoning in on 55,555 in my car, obvs will take the day off to catch it at 5.55.
Hopefully get this playing on the stereo too:
