    I've been driving my TR as a daily driver for several years now, and passed the 50k mark two weeks ago. Was wondering, how many miles does your car have?

    Mine:
    1991 TR - 50,532 miles
    1998 355 - 22,400 miles

    It's funny that this thread just came up. I took a picture of my 308 rolling over 90,000 last night and was going to post it tonight with the same question

    Sounds good David. Did the F355 sell yet?

    My Viper has 22,000 miles in a year and a half and not the daily driver.

    Since I plan on keeping my car I cannot wait till it crosses 100,000. We ought to make up some sort of small F-Chat dash plaque commemorating the event. The Alfa Romeo Owner's Club has one but my Alfa still has another 18,000 to go.

    Maybe I should carry my camera with me for when MY 308 turns over 30,000 later this week?

    Mine's just passed 100,000 and went back to 00000. It's a nice feeling and has kind of given my ownership a new lease of life.

    I just hope the Odometer is the only component designed to last only 100,000!

    That's an interesting point and evidentally they are not. I have seen many 80/81 model 308's with 180 dial. Most of those models were originally equipped with the US mandated 85mph speedo. Now when I see them I check the chassis # behind the steering wheel. They are scattered all over the chassis range. A few before a particular chassis # with a 180 will be 85, then I'll see 2 more 180's then a whole string of 85's again. I am sure, especially then, that a Ferrari worker would have been more then willing to bolt in whatever was nearest to him at the time the car passed him on the line. I have wondered, though, if it was that or if the whole unit was replaced here in the US later. If it was the latter then was it because an owner was tired of pegging the thing on the highway all the time or was it because it quit working and was replaced by a shop that did not know enough to assume the speedo was fine and the sending unit was bad?
    This brings another point about milage - the old sending unit that will ALWAYS fail at some point on these 308 era cars (or were unpluged).
    Anyway...
