My goal for GBMINI#3 was to reach 15,000 miles within my first year of ownership – a faster rate than GBMINI#2 – and with about three weeks to go, I broke through today!
GBMINI#3 reaches 15K miles

I’m thinking you might need some petrol soon.
Yes … MINI Peabody is about 1/4 mile from the Sunoco where I normally fill with 91 (and the trip meter is the distance since last fill!)
hehe…you go Ian. I have noticed since my car hit 10k it runs better in every way.
Why so intent on hitting 15k in within the first year?
I guess my foot is too heavy as I never get that kind of MPG.
I am not sure why MINI owners or americans seem to celebrate mileage and then take photos of it. I say putting miles on your car is a bad thing!
I am going to get a limited milage policy next year I think
Like MINI says, Keef, think of your odometer as an “experience-o-meter” or “smile-o-meter”. We bought our cars to drive, no? 🙂
I cracked 14k yesterday in about 8 months. I’ve probably put 200 on in the last couple of weeks just looking for a new place to live and actually moving. I’ll probably tack on close to another 750 this weekend going to the Chicago show and doing a club drive.
Ian, what’s your rattle count? 🙂
“why hit 15K?” – because I love driving GBMINI; it’s just a goal I wanted to reach when I noticed last summer that I was clocking up more miles than normal.
“rattle count” – behind my head something in the rear driver side trim panel or rear seat rattles annoyingly sometimes, and there is an occasional vibration from the passenger side A pillar. Not too bad so far 😉
“I am not sure why MINI owners or americans seem to celebrate mileage and then take photos of it.”
Huh? Not sure where you’re from but in USA we have amazing sights to go see and even if we didn’t the theme is …”Let’s Motor” which if you owned a MINI is most of if not all of the fun. Maybe you live in a area where there is nothing to see or petrol/gas is $6 a gallon.
I have a buzz every once in a while in my dash area but my ’04 is nothing like my ’02 which was a beehive of activity.
Did you just invent a new mod??? The 3 OBC Speedo!
Must be time to trade in.
Yup, it’s getting to be GBMINI 1V time, I’m thinkin’. Bold new graphics and all how will you top GB/3?
