Well, I initially posted back in January 2011. I have a 2004 Cooper S that had 200,000+ miles on her. Right now I still have the same Mini with 283,000+ miles on her. I have slowed down with the milage because I now have "4 Cooper S's". I have a 2003, the original 2004, and 2-2005 convertibles. I now split my time driving 3 of the 4 and the wife uses one of the convertibles in good weather. Still love them,
