100K MP5 Club

100k+ is a big deal? :)

(breakn)Hey y'all!
Why not kick off my first post with a bang? I bought my P5 with 116,000 miles on the odo almost a year ago, and have since added 50,000 hard-run miles more. (with regular and religious servicing, a labor of love)
166,000 mi. and going strong!!
I'll post the whole love story someplace else on here, if ya care to know... Nice to "meet" ya, guys; I'm the newb so please, hit me up!!
 
bought mine two weeks ago at 118,000 replaced plugs, wires, coil packs, egr valve, it already had a new air cleaner, and replaced the stereo, nice to see they can handle alot of miles
 
146K orig owner, turbo'd her at 78k...still hitting 6 psi daily ;)
going to do the timing belt this summer while she's on "stand by" duty until winta!

Rolled over 130k in RI on my way to Bazooka Joe's house for a wrenching meet.
 
180 000 km(not Mile) and its running great. Just some rust that bother me a lot.

Those engine may be weak when it comes to power, but damn they can last real long if well maintained!
 
I'm on 137,000 mi, and I hope it lasts much longer!

Just changed spark plugs yesterday
Changed brakes last weekend
Replacing air intake hose (busted yesterday)
Changed tires three times

Rust has popped up on the front of my hood now too, along with near the wheel bay.

A lot of repairs are happening now because my dad owned the car till I got it two years ago and I assumed he changed plugs, etc when it wasn't the case (bad idea to assume, I know).

Let this be a lesson to you kids. Don't drink and type.
