Who has the highest mileage Seven?

[soareyes]

With my Birkin approaching 10,000 miles (purchased used with 1000 miles in 2005), I was wondering who on this board had the highest mileage? I don't expect mine will be anywhere near the highest.

 

So post up and we can find out!

I am just a bit over 33,000 miles on our 2001 (would be closer to 40K if I didn't bust myself up a couple summers ago which kept me out of the drivers seat all summer). Is anyone over 50,000 or the magic 100,000 without fused vertibrea to show for it?

Mike-

 

You are an iron man...have you owned from new? I've had my car for 2 years and it's only got 3100 miles on it! Speaking of fused vertebrae...last year at Skyline East, I spent about 9 hours in the seat in one day and could barely walk the next day!

I don't have a odometer anymore, but I've put at least 6K or 7K in the last 2 years.

:hurray: I turned 49K miles on the way to Tapoco on 7/6. I'm the third owner (a '92 Caterham). The 1st owner built it in '92 and sold it within a year. The second owner, who lived in Williamsburg Va., put 48,000 + on it and sold it to me in Jan. '07 after a complete Chip Bond rebuild. I've still getting acclimated but I love it. My last Brit sports car was a Frog Eye which I sold prior to moving to Tn. 4 years ago. I can't be the high mileage champ at only 49,000. Donnie

When I went for a ride with Cherik at the Dragon, I believe he said that he has around 70k miles on his Caterham!!

 

According to his maintenance log he had 67k as of 5/31/2007.

 

Hopefully he'll be along soon to verify.

At a tic over 12k in 16 months.

Your miles are HARD miles :thumbs:

[WestTexasS2K]

I guess you can say that, 9k miles were with a 12' trailer toted at 80 mph in 13 days.

[Kitcat]

I have 17.3K on my '97 Crossflow. It had 13.8 when I bought it 7 weeks ago and I have put 3.5K miles on since then (Drove home from NJ, did the Dragon and 3 track days). No trailering.

Maybe track miles should be counted like dog years - 1 track mile equals 7 street miles :lol:

Sounds fair.

[scannon]

The rule of thumb seems to be 10 to 1 at least as far as calculating the wear and tear on a car.

[WestTexasS2K]

Oh well better make mileage about 34k then :lol: Last count I had about 2100 miles of track time. Kitcat is laying down some good mileage too. That is what makes a LSIS so much fun. Drive it to the track, abuse it, and drive it home most of the time. I hope I never find myself without one.

[slngsht]

I hope I never find myself without one.

 

Amen

[Cherik]

Bruce is correct. The latest is 69,500 miles as of this evening.

Mostly daily driving miles. Two to four track events a year. No salt miles :-)

The speedo indicates 4 k miles less, as I had to replace two of them in the early days.

In reference to post #3 by Al:

No, I bought it with 800 miles on it. I regards to seat time, Jen and I have done 12+ hours straight from Birmingham Alabama to Cleveland with no issues beyond just being tired of driving in general. Our drive from 7-7-07 was just a bit over 9 hours which went quick enough but boy was it boring. I may never understand how truck drivers can handle the monotony of highway driving day after day.
