Miles on your SL

So as the R230 ages gracefully and the cars are being enjoyed more and more as the years pass...how many miles do you have on your sl?

I'll start:

Year: 2003
Model: SL55 AMG
Miles: 54K (which really is low miles for an '03)

what about you guys?

You need to get out more, Dan!

I've got 57,000 on my 2003. It had 9,000 when I bought it used in 2005. I've driven 48,000 in almost exactly 48 months.

I bought my 2005 a coule of months ago with 12,500 miles. It sits at 18K now. I'm driving the piss out of it. I need to park it and log some miles in my E-Class. As I stroll through my garage, when I leave to go to work in the morning, I pass right by that E500 every day it's not wet outside.
