175k  :happy2:

Just ticked over 177k this morning on the way to the gym!  :drinking:
And still on the OG Clutch and Pressure plate which I think is testament to how well its been looked after!
Im hoping it will go over 200k whilst in my ownership

Also ran on stock clutch until November last year.. Changed it when I got the car remapped.
So they can run for a long time if you're reasonable with it :)

95k and still going strong and very much surprised a few people on last weeks trackday, especially a guy in an 8 month Golf R when we caught and hassled to pass him!  :happy2:

2007 ed30,
115,000 miles,
stage 2+ since 106,000.
I've had it since 96,000.
Other than an intermittently slippy clutch because of the remap, is all good. Needed 1 wheel bearing in 19,000 miles because of a faulty abs ring.
Even survived a rally down to Monaco last summer  :happy2:

I'm still on the original clutch at 100k and it's been mapped since around 20k  :jumpmove:

Tossing up whether to keep or sell my GTI and found this thread - hugely reassuring!  Mine is about to hit 100,000kms (60,000 miles), so appears to have heaps of life left in it if I decide to keep it.  Just have to sort the jiggly and jolting ride issues - if I can't, it's gone.

2012 Golf R on 50k mile, a 2008 Passat TDI on 133k, a Mk2 Golf on 130k (need to confirm) and a 1973 Beetle 1303 on 18k.

So in total I have 331k miles covered. Interestingly, the distance to the moon (approximately) is 240k miles, so when you look at miles on the clock now, try and see it as number of trips to the moon.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

I have to ask about the beetle, engine rebuild or original milage? and any photos?   :smiley: :smiley:
