Drove 220 mile return to see and purchase then got a ride one way a week later to fetch it.
Had driven an 850 mile weekend to see 2 of them earlier in the search. Should I add it all up? 1510 mi. |

The longest one I have done so far is from Orkney to Glasgow to pick up a Mazda 6, which also was my most expensive car to date being £1500, which also turned out to be a typical Mazda with rotten sills and even having a rear end shunt at some point in it's life and badly repaired Wife loved it but had to go when I found out about the sills and bodges a year later.
But my next car will be a trip of over 1200 miles which involves going from Orkney to Peterborough and back again when my dad gets a new car and gives me his V50 might as well make a holiday of it as well

I'm from Stockport bought Puff from a guy in Burntisland the other side of edinburgh. 500+ miles in the day. The return trip was a lot quicker though!
Salut Pookie

185 Mile Round Trip
Brighton to Bishop's Stortford, 185 mile round trip, taken twice, the first one to test drive it - closest, nearly new, manual XC60 I could find at the time.
Well worth the effort!
