York to Exeter, dropped of 11 plants and then back. Best part of 650 miles in a transit van. Crash on M1 on way home so return leg took 7.5hours. Amazing how tiring it is driving for extensive periods. My dad made Austria in a oner and only really stopped for fuel and for the ferry crossing. About 1000 miles

edit: 1000 miles not 100

About 800 miles from a friends house in Northampton to tignes in France. Pretty nice drive apart from when it started to snow in the alps and got a bit slippery. Took about 17 hours in total with the ferry and a few stops.

I did Fareham to Alloa in Scotland in 6.5 hours. Including stops

Most in one night was Southampton to Sale in Manchester and back. That was to pick up the bargain Blue Corsa Sport that a few people wanted on here

Why didn't you just press delete?

About 300 miles as driver. Spent longer in a car though but I was passenger for about half. That was about 400 I think.

Doing Liverpool - Oxford - Buckingham - Crawley - Southend - Northampton tomorrow, should be another long one.

Aberdeen next week, that's 700 round trip but I'm probably going to stay over somewhere for that one.


Sounds like a normal working day to me!

Think the furthest I've done is Widnes-seaforth-Carlisle-manchester-Widnes but that was work. Can't remember the mileage, will have to find the tacho for that day! Know it was a 15 hour day!
