Default 200,000 mile club

Well, I forgot to get off the freeway so that I could snap a picture of the odometer turning over to 200,000 miles, so instead I snapped the picture as I was going for my smog/emissions test so that I could get my registration You can see that when I took the picture I had 200,008 miles. And it passed its emissions test and I got my registration. Not bad for a car I've enjoyed so much over the last ten years. What an outstanding automobile Jaguar produced in the X150. Of course, all of you know that already. (Pardon all the dust on the dash glass, it's embarrasing!)

200,000 mile club joined today!

TBerg. You may very well be the President as well as the only member of the 200,000 mile XKR club at least on this forum. Congratulations!

At the rate I'm expiring, I'll have to live that long in order to get there! The Jag will, no doubt, make it.

Congrats, Ted. That's over 180,000 more miles than I have on my old Jag and you did it in beautiful California.

My daughter is going to UBC so I'm spending all of my vacation time in BC. I sure miss California. We have plans for a road trip through the mountains to Banff and another short trip to Seattle from Vancouver. We've been renting a Tesla Y in Vancouver lately and love it (great for road trips-no fuel costs, free charging). I'm still loving the XKR, although it's getting old, like us, lol.
