Time for LPG Nigel. At about £1200 for an install and half price fuel after that, you'd save a fortune.

I've just got 400 miles out of my last tank of unleaded - 32.5mpg. Very happy with that

That's about half of my entire salary!

Often thought about LPG - however, I wouldn't be able to run anything like the performance I currently have AND I'd be filling up every two days AND there's no LPG station on my commuting route

and another milestone dissapears under the wheels.....

195,000 on the way home this afternoon.

Just 58 days for the last 5,000 miles, as there have been a few business trips - 86 per day on average.

At this rate, I'll break 200,000 before the end of the year.

Mine hit 140041 as I was driving home today

It's really dropped off since I bought the kitlet and started car sharing with a colleague (and four months on my back didn't put a lot of miles on it :D)

She must be a stunner!

I'll tell him you think so...

Almost 200k bloody hell! These engines are blimmin well-built, a big up yours to anyone that disses fiats :O) thats fantastic!

Nah, they're just well 're-built'

It would be interesting to see who has clocked up the most miles on their original engine....

relative baby at 'only' 125k..but all original...(repalcement turbo at 100k....)...but engine istself bog standard and original....

Almost there.....

turned 199,000 on the way home tonight - 48 days for the last 4,000 miles equals 83 a day, but the last 1,000 will go very quickly - I have 540 miles to do tomorrow

How should I celebrate?

Get a wideband lambda!

Find a very long runway and try and do 1mph for every 1000 miles you've covered in your coop

WooooHOOOOOOO

200,000 miles!!!

Congrats Nigel!

200,000.....crikey .......I feel like a baby at 86k........

200,000 and only 16 new heads and 8 new blocks. Who said these coupe's aint reliable ;-)

You may have hit 200,000 but look at your oil pressure

Very impressive

And I was feeling good about cracking 142k this morning.

Great stuff Nigel, treat your car to a professional valet to celebrate, and then sit on the back seat with a friend and share some bicentennial cake

ps If you would like to, send me the clock image and I'll try to weave it into the Club pages in the 2009 Club Calendar

I feel like an embryo at 78K! P reg!

Julia - PM me an email addy and I'll send over the photo

Just waiting on the image now

Im catching up...mine's done 126 thou

Good to see coupes being used.

I bought mine in 2000 with 22000 miles on the clock, passed 140,000 miles today, original engine & turbo, good oil pressure, low oil consumption and no smoke. Not modded mind you..

I've changed lots of the standard 'expendable' bits, but the car has only let me down once and that was just a tiny split in a water hose. Service & oil change every 12,000 miles

Still not bored of it, so have just had the bonnet resprayed to cover up the stone chips, now looks brillant again..... It's going to take me a while to reach 200k though.

a few of us at the last red lion meet had a chat about millage.

who in the UK has the highest millage on the standard internals and has not had a re-build.

my mate Dan has 146k and has not had any engine work done besides tuning stuff and it still pulls like a train!

can any one top that?

iv got 136k and mines still runs pulls like a train aswell done 247mile round trip in it the weekend on half a tank. High mileage is nothing tome i think as long as a car has been looked after regular oil changes with decent oil and looked after like warmed up before boost and cooled down a engine in a 140k car is no different to a 80k. just my point

146500 here
