BTW, my trip above is not even remotely noteworthy in this part of the world - a late great friend once drove from Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng to Stellenbosch, Western Cape (roughly 1350km) in under 10 hours. He was in an E28 535iM and picked up a hitchhiker who, strangely enough, had hardly anything to say during the whole trip. :evil:
Now if we're talking fast long trips, try South London to Edinburgh (400 miles) in 4h 20minutes... :evil:
It's only possible if you leave late at night...

... and know where all the Gatzos & rozzers are hiding
That's bloody impressive - I've only ever managed just over 8 hours![]()
You must have been dying for a pish by the time you got there :lol:
