London to Luxembourg, 400 odd miles? Then next day was onwards to Austria.

In 160k 13 year old barge, never missed a beat

Longest solo journey is probably my annual Aboyne to Alton. 550 miles. Only stopped for fuel (twice) this year.

Tend to do longer journeys in the roller skate. Think I've topped 800 in that, which is tedious at 150 miles per tank.

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.

Oh yer my "Comfort breaks" seem to have got more frequent just lately   got stuck on a longish journey the other week & asked the driver to stop for a needed "comfort break, before I pish meself"

Probably about 750 miles when we went to Italy. Well... 2 days, 750 miles each day and the same a week later to return home. Additionally we did another around 2000 miles during the week we were there too!

That was in my saloon and it didn't miss a beat until the day of departure when I needed a jump start!

In the Estate... Up to the lakes, down to Newquay, over to Wales... All around 3-350 miles.

I have no problems doing the 700miles from my aunt's house in SW France to Calais, followed by another 50miles from the ferry to home. This sort of journey is why I bought a large comfortable motorway car.


By comparison, I can't drive my mother's Focus to Heathrow and back without it almost crippling me.

[Broomies Mate]

Bristol to Aberdeen and back in a single trip, so close to 1,000 miles.  I did have to stop near Manchester on the way back for a nap.  It was getting dangerous.

Oddly enough, I've done the very same journey in an Iveco Daily, and can't say I was more (or less) exhausted after.

Hmmmm...perhaps all vehicles should have a tacho..........

[terry paget]

I did Midsomer Norton to Falkirk and back to see the Falkirk Wheel - 812 miles, and Midsomer Nortn to Berlin 797 miles, but both in a Senator, so they don't count. Similar car though, and I was younger then.

[Rods2]

734 miles from my house in Normandy to the South of France.

[Mr Gav]

227 miles from Bonnybridge to Leeds the day after I bought it
