Yup, my car as of 10mins ago and just as I pulled up outside my house hit the 100,000 miles!! (picture below)

So this gave me a idea and wondered whats yours on?

Anyone on here got a car with over 200,000 miles on the clock?

Yeah, it was one thing I was worried about when it finally turned... I've got pictures of the process 099995/6/7/8/9 and finally as I pulled up outside my house it had settled to a nice straight 100,000 :D :D

155k on my 316i. Still on the original clutch. My first car was a Fiat Uno that managed 140k but had to scrap it because of the rust.
