ItsModella: Washington DC to Nashville, TN. What was you doing in DC? CFCfan: My longest single trip was from San Diego to Fontana (CA) that lasted for 1hr 30mins (about 94miles) Seriously? You need to drive/take longer trips more often. 94 miles in 90mins, shey you're one of those slow annoying drivers abi? Because say the speed limit sign say 65miles don't mean you should do it... |

I can't put the total number of miles to it but UK heads can calculate it. I drove from London to Birmingham, then to Shrewsbury, back to Telford, then to Stoke, then to Chester, and straight on to Liverpool - and back to London the same day. Those were the days when I used to run down the mileage of every car that I buy within 3/4 months - then sell it afterwards. I would just wake up, look for a place on the history, get the sat nav and get my boys in the car - and off we go. Drove about 15 cars from age 17-22, believe that. I just love adventure. Another psychotic driver and the greatest long-distance driving mofo ever has to be my boy Ezenna the Zen. That's only guy that moves a car without the clutch, just the accelerator and off we go. The only guy you would like to be in his car when he's high or drunk. The only guy that has never been caught in a car chase with the feds - he always get away. This guy used to run down the mileage of every car that he drives within 2 months and he drove more than 25 different cars within 4years. He'll drive you from anywhere to heaven and hell, and back in one piece, believe that. And we both never went to driving school, we just picked a banger at age 14 and started driving it around South London. Shyte, there are drivers and there are DRIVERRRRRSSSS! 8 Likes |

Lagos - Ilesa - Maiduguri - Baga & Kukawa - Maiduguru - Lagos. About 14 hours with Avalon, 2003 model in 2010. Very stressful but interesting. |

Re: The Longest Road Trip You've Driven? by Nobody: 11:45pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
Hours ain't it, please tell us the distance. You lot might be doing 60-70 on the motorway, that doesn't make the distance long. Do 100-120 in Golf GTI, BMW, AUDI or Benz, and let's hear about the balance. Seat Leon ain't bad for the motorway as well because it's got the Volkswagen engine. When you start flying on the motorway, then that's proper long distance driving. Seen a Ferrari do between 140-160 on M6 - this car was basically flying!! |
