Miles on your MINI

Hey everyone! Well 3 weeks has gone by and I'm loving my car! Plus I love the twisties and turnies! Though I have a curious question...I have my car for 3 weeks and I have now 1,000 miles Is that normal having that much miles for just 3 weeks?
How many miles have you guys gone for 3 weeks or so?

I'm at 10 glorious months, with 13,400 miles.

At the rate you're going, you're going to have 55K miles on your anniversary date. MINIs are made to motor, and it would seem you are getting your money's worth. Your MINI is living it's life to the fullest.

I'll proabably have that and more when I get mine. I have a 70 mile round-trip commute everyday. But that's why I'm getting a Mini, to make it more enjoyable!

Mine will be one month old Saturday - I have 1400 miles. I too hope I taper off a little. I only had 30,000 on my last car and it was 4 years old - Mazda Tribute. Can't figure out enough places to go in the Mini

When I got mine back in 02, I picked it up from the dealer with 5 miles on it, and by the time I got home 10+ hours later I had over 650 miles on it. I think if anything you need to motor more .

Currently just over 148,000 miles.

I've had mine for 5 weeks and have put 400 miles on it....

Granted, over the past 5 weeks, I've only been able to drive it for 2 weeks (its been in the service department for the past two weeks, and it was in for one week after I purchased it). Suffice to say, I'm now going through MINI withdrawl....:impatient Thank goodness NAM exists; at least I can live vicariously through all your postings on your great drives.

Alpha i think we have more miles on our virtual MINIs than we do on our real ones.

Thats ok..that just means ours will be "creampuffs" later on when all the older MINI's have high mileage.
