So if you can't beat the miles, you can't post then   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:   Only kidding, not even close.
Worried about the subframe a bit though. Just coming up to 60k with no problems apart from the flaking wheels for the second time round.
Ex.MR2 SMT sadly missed.

I've done 126k miles in my MR2s   s:) :) s:)  

The first - a 51 plate - was taken from 14k miles to 129k. Sold with very few problems: original clutch, gearbox, engine, the lot.

And the second - an 06 plate - has reached 30k from buying it at 19k. Turbo'ed from birth   s:D :D s:D  

Those miles have included Europe, Corfu, Scottish Highlands, Skye, Wales, Isle of Man and a few laps of Brands!

Still loving it.

2002 (51) MR-S, sitting just under 41,000miles

Imported in 2003, previous owner only averaged 4k p/a - thus why i travelled from Edinburgh to London to pick it up at a mere £4.2k - only thing is I had to accept some bodwork damage (stonechips/birdsh*t thru paint), but post of work has been done now.

Lol buy a £4k car n spent around £2,5k on it, still exhaust/alloys/5 or 6 bits need resprayed, so prob another £1.5k to go - gutted lol, but love the car  s:) :) s:)
