Default 100000 mile club?

There you have it gentlemen, 100000miles on her.. I really wanted to hammer it and hit full boost for the picture, but I had my wife and her best friend in the car.. would not of gone over well!

Car is still running great, in fact I saw numbers as high as 350rwhp on Saturday night with my Gtec.

My hearty congratulations on attaining 100K....this board is replete with higher mileage cars and folks proud of the fact you've hit those century marks. Truly a tribute to the engineering and care you folks take of your cars. I have a 996 also, and it seems that over on that board if you can get to 70K on the same engine it's a major milestone. Many of the discussions seem to center around failed intermediate shafts, intermix, RMS etc. Depressing....much more upbeat here. This is where I come to get my "positive fix".

I bought the car at 90K miles and it hasn't quite been two years yet. I only drive it in the summer though..

I wonder how many 328s have 90,000+ miles on them. I rarely see one over 50,000 miles. A guy in the 944 forum has a pair of 944s with a combined 552,000 miles, one on the original clutch.
