Hi all,
Got a drive tomorrow of over 600 miles.......!!!!
Leaving Nottingham at 7am then driving to collect my lad from Caernarfon, North Wales.....
Then taking him to see the lights of Blackpool Illuminations.....
Then taking him back to Caernarfon....
Then driving back home to Nottingham.....
Reckoning on getting home about 2am Sunday morning!!!
I think it will be about £110 in petrol, and hopefully the MV6 will be as strong driving all day tomrw as its been in the year we have had it.......!!!
:y :y :y

safe trip.
600m is easy in omega, I've done 900m in a 18hr period in my MV6 :y

We did 1230 miles in 24 hours driving to Lodz in Poland, but that was 2 up and one of us driving while the other slept......!!
On my own driving wise tomrw
900 in 18 hrs is cracking on a bit too eh?!!!?!?

god luck to you when i picked up the elite this week i left Swindon at 17:30 and got to wigan at 21:20 left at 22:35 and got back at 03:15 only 350 mile but in the disco with a empty load going up and a mig on the back on the way home had to go down to 2nd on the hill to the hot air ballon and stay below 50mph on the way back to keep the back end in line. but good luck and hope you have a good day out :y

Nah, it was quite slow - 1 of our convoy had a 1yr old, so we have to stop every couple of hours. Wouldn't say I was tired at end of it, but I slept well enough that night

Longest we've ever done is from St Tropez to home in a day (about 1,100miles) in our last Mig. A very tiring day it was too, and not one I'll be planning to do again in a hurry!

Longest I have done is London Meeting/interview and Back, in a day, 1985 in a Cortina Mk5 Estate :D :D Yes I got offered the Job, but did not take it.... ::)

I'm not surprised the commute from Transylvania would have been murder.
