OK then, who does the most miles?

Have put 17,000 miles on my little darlin since May, at least 450 miles on motorway a week, plus work and other stuff.

I find her really comfy, great fun to drive! The only thing I hate is Range Rover Sport drivers( normally black...the cars) who think they can sit on my arse in traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!!, bit of open road or a roudabout or 2 and snick, snick, snick, down the gears and bye, bye

Seen 2 minis over 200K with original blowers still going strong, probably not as good as when they left the factory but still keeping the owners happy

Both had clutch changes and still the stock gearbox with no issues, its only the early coopers which had an issue everything else seams to be very good

My Last one was at 80k with a clutch change but nothing else. was perfect, my current one has done 0 miles in the last year, well with the exception when I trailered it to the new unit
