That's fantastic Carlos!
So great to see you putting your car to such good use
Proof that a 911 is built to perform day in day out doing high mileages as a matter of routine And giving so much pleasure in the process
Wishing you many more happy miles

Lovely Carlos and many congrats!! I will join youin the 100k-club in about a year or so I think if I don't swap it out for a RS5 prior to that .
Then do this: if you do reach the 100k, the post a pic in ths thread, and if you change to the RS5 then I would like to see pics as well but that merits its very own thread the RS5 looks to be quite a photogenic car.

Thanks Conny! and thats funny about the odo, I never knew that!
Al Bundy was once eligible to win a Viper when his Dodge was about to be the first ever to reach 100 000 and Dodge wanted to film it. Then someone rolled the car in the driveway so it rolled without the camera crew and he got nothing
I sold my Boxster with 100.000kms and after almost daily use and it was as new in all respects. The new owner has put another 15.000kms so far and the car is still perfect with minimal costs. The car is now 10 years old.
Try doing that in a sports car that is not from Germany and we talk again.
My 964 is 19 years old, has 191,500km on the clock and I drive it basically on a daily basis (at least right now) and I enjoy every minute. After all those years the car still feels rock solid.
This weekend I drove a 1973 2.4l S and it was a great experience. The car is still fast, very light, revving-up freely ... bottom line 110% pleasure.

Congrats Carlos! Living in Galicia and driving a 911 so frequently only speaks for the good design of the car... and the drivers' skills!
Gracias Mikla! we have some great mountain roads to have fun and low traffic highways for confortable cursing, the 911 is an absolute joy here Also there is no negative attitude towards such cars, I can drive it anywere without worrying about what people say or think, thast very important too for a daily driver.

I remember that episode! you just knew something had to happen, its the "Bundy Curse"

Congratulations !!! I remember your car from the beginning ..... So you do about 20'000 km a year, a good average... the 911 is the best daily sports car on the market
X2! I don't think I would be so worry free on using it as high milage a daily driver on another Sportcar "of the same level" of sportiness as the 911. And I had the same experience with my previous 996 as well.

Couldn't agree more Reginos. And that is what I need for me personally, I want to be able to enjoy sporctars everyday and not have to drive a sedan on weekdeays and only be able to grab the sportcar on the weekends or in summer. Thats not to say that I wouldn't like a GT3RS for the weekends as well though but I would still drive a 911 on weekdays

Its unblelievable how many air-colled 911 you still see on the roads, they are built like rocks, and most importantly can still be driven as "sportcars" (and not delicate classics for a sunny Sunday afternoon) for the enjoyment of their drivers.

Carlos from Spain:
.... part of that enjoyment on the CarreraS model is the -20mm sport suspensions and the PSE as I'm sure you would agree
Yes, very true Picking -20mm sports suspension and PSE were some of the best options I chose
