Default My odometer reading this morning

Almost to 100K and almost six years of ownership. Still get a grin when I see it and expecially when driving it with the top down!

it seems a lot more MkI are over 100k than MkII cars.
I know they are older but just a few years more. In the end I think MkI cars seems to be quite reliable long distance runners

My MkI had over 130K miles when i sold it with no problems. I hope to reach around the same miles with my 03 MkII without major issues.

That is awesome. I only got my '02 Cabriolet (27K miles) a couple of months ago and love seeing these sort of posts. I bounce back and forth between seeing if I can own it until 100K miles (would take me a lot of years as I don't drive that much) or drive it 3-4 years and then get another new-to-me and more recent model year (and I absolutely love the new Boxster S, which in 3-4 years could be a strong consideration).

Post another pic when you hit 100K. PCA should send you a plaque or something!

Nice picture, Down South!

I should be getting there sometime next Summer based on my current usage. Doing my 90,000 mi Inspection this week. Engine running smooth and dry.
(There! THAT ought to jinx me. LOL!)

Nice. I remember a lot of 94,400 shots on another board!

I've already missed my chance with my BMW - it has 40,000 miles (it's a 328).

It will be a long while before my car makes it to that milestone.

This is so cute. Almost endearing really... 181k here. 2003 C2. Yeah, C'mon!

Kidding. Of course. Congrats and keep driving it. Love to see the high mileage ones.

Take it easy,

JKC
