Following on from Vauxsull's post about a trip around UK, whats the most you've done in a day in your Omega.

I'll start with a 900m trip from home to South of France, back in the SeaCat days. Left about 5am, arrive about 9pm, though we were in convoy and had to stop every hour or 2 due to a grumpy 1yr old

Furthest mine has been is either upto the Lakes or a day trip to Potter Heigham from deepest Sussex, returning via Clacton On mud

I suspect I'm the winner here with an amazing 47 miles 

I've only had the car on day policies since I got it. Mainly due to the Wifes' car being rear ended, woman is being a grade A tool and dragging it out. So setting up a fourth policy and with no NCB is a no go until things settle.  Very annoying as I want Oscar on the road so I can sell a Vectra.

Just over 600 miles. Travelled back home from Cornwall, picked up the oldies and headed straight back again, stopping just long enough for them to get in the car. 
Travelled in the early hours so made good time. Probably best not to post how good a time.

Obviously, following your speed awareness course, you are now a reformed character

I had to look that up

1440 miles from outside Leicester to Southern Spain via Channel tunnel. Done it twice both times in less than 24 hours .

Once in the 2.5 and once in the 3.0. Both auto elites.

Both times we religiously swapped drivers every 2 hours and have a loo break/coffee/food every 4. I think we filled up three or four times on route. On reflection it might have been eight times.

Funnily enough each time we intended stopping in a hotel but they all look quite depressing or noisy so we kept pressing on looking for a "better" one.

Doubt you could do it nowadays without picking up a speeding ticket or two.


Quite a few years back we used to do motoring holidays scouting out areas we could/couldn't live in. One was three weeks around Iberia and we averaged 10 hours driving a day on that in a Carlton CDX.

Exactly. 
Journey takes twice as long now.

Don't remember mileage but journey was from SLady bitshorpe to Aldershot and back.No problems no discomfort,got home feeling just as fresh as when I set off.

[chrisgixer]

Up to Scotch corner, across to To Workington. 330miles.

[minifreek]

94.1 miles from home in Wigan to Pooley Bridge, Ulleswater for our jollies last year... going again this year so it must be good....

But will be a longer journey methinks when we go to Billing this year, think I calculated a 2 1/4 hr journey coz we're dragging our 25 year old tintent with us so we have comfort

[EMD]

833 miles to Dundee and back in one day in the 3.0 elite 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Dorset to East Lothian.  458 miles. 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

In an Omega probably around 240 miles.
