[eewun]

it seems a lot of people drive for miles! pretty sure the longest time i have driven for in one go is only bout 2 hours....is that low?

[eewun]

how long have you gone???

[MattySmith]

ive been a passanger in a car for a 12 hour trip from aberdeen to london to pick up a car, stopped there for an hour and a half and drove back up the road (still a passanger) if that courts :P

[ash_sx125]

I was a passenger for 19hours if that counts.. granted only 7 of those were actually driving.

July 2007 got stuck on the M5 in the floods.. 40,000 cars parked on the motorway. Wierd.

Still, managed to get the kite out, played football between 2 caravans and even went on a little bike ride down the M5 at 3am haha

[VTRelite]

doing 6-7 later today to go look at a bug

[benwh555]

5 hours was the longest continous drive that i have done. Been on alot longer journeys but always had a stop.

[davidharvey]

Longest without any stops probably 9 hours to South Wales, had to take it easy due to severe thunder storms.

Have done 23 hours, but stopped for food and spent part of it on ferry getting aquick snooze, so not non stop drive

[wn5luke]

9 hours with me driving but over 24 hours with a few of us driving to spain we got lost lol...

[Tommo87]

Drove from Blackburn (lancashire) to Plymouth and back in a day with a 15minute food stop each way. That was pretty harsh.
Done London and back a fair few times in a day and once went down went to Fabric till 4am and drove back.

[Graeme]

[Luke]

[dsh85]

nurburgring for me like many will have said! but for a mad month i did silverstone (4hrs) torquay (6hrs) and the ring in 3 outta 4 of the weekends! eventually it failed on the ring but really it was my own bodge repair that caused this. so saxos aint as unreliable as some people think

[JamesR]

Anyone remember the Top Gear episode where Jeremy was driving for ages? And he " reached for his packet of Spunk " lol

[MathewVTR]

Haha probably only about 2-3 hours to Mablethorpe in my old 1996 899cc Fiat Cinquento. Top speed of about 70ish and 0-60 in a loooong time.

Bloody french bank holiday weekend wasn't it, where possibly ALL of Marseille/montpelliar to Paris stops work and drives north

[MikeCracknell]

I regularly drive from the south coast to Inverness area - twice a year, it is about 10-12 hours each way.

That is the longest that I do!

[jamiecee]

last week i drove for about 15 hours constantly no sleep haha was really tired then the next day with an hour break i drove another 200 miles

[chinkostu]

only about 2 1/2 hours.

longest i've yet to do is 3 1/2ish

couldn't face driving none stop for longer, i'd get a numb arse!

[Andy_K]

2 hours is quite short, yes.

I regularly drive for 4,5,6 or more hours none stop for work. Have driven to Cornwall/Edinburgh and back before with only a 10 minute stop for fuel/to pay for items that i'm collecting, which are 10-12 rour round trips.

I was a passenger for 19hours if that counts.. granted only 7 of those were actually driving.

July 2007 got stuck on the M5 in the floods.. 40,000 cars parked on the motorway. Wierd.

Still, managed to get the kite out, played football between 2 caravans and even went on a little bike ride down the M5 at 3am haha

I was there as well lol. Wierdest feeling ever being asleep in the fast lane of a motorway at 3am

Infact, thats probaly the longest time i've been at the wheel of a car - 26 hours getting from Southampton back to Huddersfield

[eewun]

jeeeeeeezzzzz!! some people drive for ages!! one day i'll get there :) might be driving from east sussex to cornwall soon. not as long as most of there guys tho.
