Awesome!! Thanks for sharing that very special moment with all of us, and your membership to the 100k club is approved.
Youtube video of the rollover to 00000 would have been better though

BMW 530d, November 2004
What mileage are you currently on?
Just passed 130,000 last week.
What major parts have you replaced?
Turbo, catalytic converter, exhaust, particulate filter, exhaust silencer, inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, another turbo (under warranty when I complained a year after replacing the first one that noise that had developed), 4 glow plugs. Front and rear discs. Changed body and wheels to sport kit, replaced springs and anti-roll bars to Eibach Pro-Kit. Various control arms and ball joints replaced recently. Gave me serious expense a couple of years back but has been pretty much faultless for the last 30,000 miles. Electronically it's been very well behaved, only needing a new wiring loom to the boot lid, and a slip ring which was causing airbag faults.
How long do you intend to keep the car for?
Not going to get rid of it, I've poured that much money into it over the last 4+ years that the only person going to get the value out of it is me, by not changing it. It goes well anyway and has a load of little extras above the standard spec that I do enjoy. And since I upgraded the appropriate bits to bring it to sport spec, it still looks very fresh, handles exceptionally and is still a joy to drive.

What car is it?
Saab 9-3 1.9 TiD (150) Saloon
What mileage are you currently on?
100,100ish
What major parts have you replaced?
Alternator - under warranty around 50k
Heated seat element (lovely in winter)
Water pump / cambelt - pump siezed at 64k (ish), which takes the cambelt with it. Thankfully no other damage and Saab paid 50% of the repair price (without me even asking) with the car only just being outside warranty
How long do you intend to keep the car for?
I purchased it with 2k miles on the clock as a dealer's demonstrator, so almost 100,000 miles in my ownership. I have a fixed price service plan in place for the next two services (108k and 126k IIRC), so plenty mores yet (fingers crossed!).
