Chris! Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Drove to cork and back in a weekend, probably the furthest, but I go to Ireland twice a year in a cortina
Fishtailparka Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Essex and back a few times (450 mile round trip) Ireland on the CF Tour. Not this year, but been to Germany for the weekend (1200 miles), Amsterdam, France, Scotland etc. I don't consider it any different than any car. I will go anywhere in it. If they break I can fix it. I don't expect them to break though.

GJUK Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 I did a 260 mile return trip in a rusty old mk2 1600 sport, when I was about 18. That was a lonnnng trip. All that happened was it dupped and entire tank of petrol on the highway and the throttle cable snapped which we fixed with cable ties. Was good honest fun.
Stu_B Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Err about 100 miles! Drove about up to Bristol for a Halloween party & spent an hour or two driving around the centre with a vampire & a pirate in the car ... exhaust was scraping on every bump & spitting flames! I'm not too keen on long journeys! First trip out to Haynes Motor museum for a hotrod show... I stripped the teeth of the flywheel & got carbon monoxide poisoning
deltamal Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 This year, Santa pod, about 500miles round trip, in 2002, Cortina - De - Am - Pezzo Italy, the Cortina 40 year anniversary, about 3,000 mile round trip! used to do about 8,000 a year before I got the Beavertail......

escysean Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Furthest I have ever had, was the trip from Northern Italy to collect my mk1 4 door Escort and took 1,200 miles return home to Leeds but then it was on trailer, does it count? LOL

V6MAT Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 UK every year, for about 2 weeks... so a good few miles! not me driving tho.. only insured on the fiesta
Monkfish Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 From the South West to the North East in an afternoon (and evening). 330 miles with bucket seats, no carpets, roll cage and a rapidly diminishing will to live. Oh, and I realised after an hour that I'd forgotten my ear plugs and cushion. NOT a mistake I've made again since!
