I break 100 k miles on my '79. Kind of sad, but looking for another 100 k of fun!

91,000 on mine and I know what you mean! I find myself watching the miles and limiting the amount I drive so that I can keep under 100! I'm not sure why

Hi t,
We've had some nice threads about cars with birthday celebrations, but 100,000 miles calls for a celebration too!
Well Done!
Regards,
Alan

I celebrated passing the 200,000 mile marker in Jan of last year. Working on 206,000 at present. Unfortunately, I've only enjoyed the last 12,000 miles on the car...but it's been fun so far.

P.S. If you are going to a car show in the next week or so, take a sheet cake and give out pieces so others can celebrate with you! Everybody likes cake, don't they???

I am told that mine has well over 300k on it, but you could not tell because every component has been replaced and runs great. Welcome to the, MILEAGE EXCEEEDS ODOMETER CLUB!!
