turnover Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 holland in a day there and back about 20 miles from amsterdam
Big_man Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 holland in a day there and back about 20 miles from amsterdam Bloody hell, hope it was what you were after. Furthest I went was about a 100 miles from Woking to Birmingham.
Nicks53 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 For my next one, it'll be approx 30 miles to get off the island and then whatever the distance from Liverpool. Or of course, I could fly there but then there'll still be the distance added on the return.
redrocket Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 something like 600kilometers from Peterborough England to Westmeath Ireland. Started at 7pm to go to Dublin airport, arrived in Cambs at 12am, drove through the night until 9am ferry, arrived home at about 2pm. Got home puked my ring up from dodgy ferry food and exhaustion

redrocket Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 never was living in Peterborough! I bought the 4door in my sig there and drove it home to Ireland And NOW by the looks of the terrible OSF here in Germany I might be going to the UK again

Essexboy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 I drove to Stoke-on-trent from Basildon to pick up my Anglia and i drove it home from there without even seeing it! Luckily was fine and got me home even after racing a few cars on the way

mrprecovery Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Posted June 29, 2010 well i made it back total of 467 miles ones way in about 7 1/2 hours . apart from the last 100 miles or so with it sounding like a tank as it blew a massive hole in the exhaust box but never mind. just thought i would add whilst driving home in my 1985 ford been setting for 6 mounths i over took (as they were on the hard shoulder broken down) RR phaton(or what ever they are the new ones) 2 audi's bmw 5series countless french crap and the trusty old v6 kept on going. must admit made me fill happy of my buy.
