Re: 100'000 km!
I bought the Turbo second-hand in May '01, and it had 7'800 km. The first owner got it on August 30th, 2000, I think.
So it took me almost exactly 22 months to cover these 92,200 km. Needless to say, it's my daily driver, and we go out under any weather conditions. Besides that, this car loves to go to the track...

Re: 100'000 km!
Pierre,
138 km/h at 5400 RPM... you have to be in 2nd gear in full swing acceleration... not so easy to take the picture....
Congratulations, I love to see people not being affraid to drive their Porsche as a daily driver and not keeping it as a piece of jewelery in their garage...
Enjoy many many more kilometers with this wonderful "driving machine" (oups !!!)
I've only got one word for you
Respect! 
I just read your story! fantastic man!
Great write up, thanks!
Just out of curiosity, do you know the length your turbo was lowered by with the H&R suspension kit?
Did that void warranty?
Just in case I find a fantastic deal on a second hand Turbo and that X74 is not retrofitable (BTW, anyone knows if it is?)
Thanks,
Fanch.
PS: Are interested in doing the Rallye de Paris this year? (March 04 I think)

Re: 100'000 km!
Almost exactly 13 months after having crossed the 100'000 km mark, my Turbo now passed the 160'000 km one!... Yes, that's 99'440 miles! 
I didn't have my camera on this occasion, so you'll have to trust me on this one.
And the babe's still doing strong. With the stock engine, it was able to beat a 360 Challenge Stradale on the main straight (rolling start) at the Nürburgring last week-end.
Top speed is still above 310 km/h (indicated), and seems to be as easily reached as it was one or two years ago. The clutch is still the original one, which can't be said of the brakes...

I don't deserve it!... I'm just sitting in there, you know. The car does the rest. Oh, and I've overlooked your previous post, sorry. No, the H&R setup didn't void the warranty. I don't know the exact height difference, but it's now about as low as a GT2.
Greetings,
