Nope. 106k less. Going to take the best part of 15-20 years to get to those giddy heights. Good solid mileage though.

It's a :scorecard: from Len :thumbsup:
 
There is a recent new member in USA with 220k miles.

Keep it going though @OldModMike

My wife's VW 1.4 Polo has 197k miles on it now. Not bad for a little 3 cylinder engine
 
Nope just turned over 52k here
 
Mechanically the Z is pretty sound. But the bodywork and underneath now needs some proper attention. My biggest concern is some nasty looking rust/bubbling at the top of the drivers side windscreen A frame support.This definitely needs sorting as its structural. Has anybody else had this issue?

Right behind you in my trusty 01 3.0 with 181,XXX miles.

Been 10 years and she's been to the shop twice, once for a valve cover gasket right when I got her (should have just done it myself and did it again when I did vanos seals anyways) and once for the subframe bushings (mistake, should have done myself). These cars are happy to let you do everything yourself with minimal tooling and maximum googling! Cheers to another 100,000 miles!
