Clutch longevity..?

A Box friend of mine and I were talking the other night about the longevity (or lack thereof) of the clutch. So I'm curious, what's the most milage you've wrung out of the original clutch?

So I did, before posting, but didn't find anything in particular for Boxster clutches (but of some reason a lot of references to other cars). Any pointers appreciated.

I'm on my 2nd clutch that has 30k on it and is still pulling very strong,the first only lasted 25k.

This lady that comes into my job has 160k on her original clutch.

I had 52K on the original clutch, and when I replaced it, it was worn down to the rivets and the flywheel was scored.

46K, and still on my original clutch. I have a couple of Boxster buds with 100K plus on their original clutch. It really depends on how you drive it. You can ruin a clutch in 1-day if you abuse it.
