My birkin traversed 150,000 km travel distance (Input from Japan)

[drhasegawa]

On February 24 2026, My seasoned Birkin 7 (so-called poorman's Seven, model year 1993, I purchased this on October 2 2004, odometer at 9,285 km) traversed 150,000 km travel distance today on the Seisho Bypass short of its toll gate. Past history: 20,000 km in January 2006 --> 30,000 km in March 2007 --> 40,000 km in July 2008 --> 50,000 km in October 2009 --> 60,000 km in January 2011 --> 70,000 km in September 2012 --> 80,000 km in May 2014 --> 90,000 km in June 2016 --> 100,000 km in March 2018 --> 110,000 km in March 22 2020 --> 120,000 km in November 2021---> 130,000 km in April 2023 --> 140,000 km September 2024, and 150,000 km today. Actually after passing 140,000 km, many accumulated weakness caused trials and tribulations. This cannot be accomplished without reasonable and honest car mechanics at Elite Motors. 
I wonder if my Birkin and I can reach 200,000 km mileage (now 74 years old ,,,).

Congratulations, Doctor.  You and your Birkin are an inspiration.  More so with your trip photos.

Thanx panamericano for yourm warm reaction.

Gorgeous! I'm trying to get my head around the idea of someone actually putting many many miles on a Seven - I think of mine, and I bet others think of theirs, as short range go for a spin on some country roads sports cars, not long range transport. I put mine on a trailer if I'm going more than 80 km from home.

Thanx Timothy for your response.       I too am very interested in how long-range other guys drive their Sevens.  Since I am as a MD accustomed to preserve the records, just as medical records (paper or electric chart), I recorded on paper basis all the travel individually, including fuel comsumption records at each gas station stop. So, my mileage records are fairly easily summerised, and longitudinal validated.  I  guess there are many Seven drivers with longer mileage than me, who keep mute.

This makes me so happy to see.

These cars were meant to be driven - and you're doing what you should be doing. I can not wait to see you get to 200,000 kms!
