750-1000. Could've done alot more, but I reached my destination.

It was a good thing I had someone to talk to that whole time.

my mom's sister-in-law was expected to die, so we drove over to see her. I think it was about 18 hours away. I would drive for 3 hours at 80 mph, my mom would drive for an hour at 67 mph. So I dunno, So I probably drove around 600-800 miles and my mom probably 200-400 all in one day.

Sunday I did 767.4. That was from some little Oregon town to Cedar City UT. I felt good through all of it, however I don't think I would've gone another hour had we not been to our destination. Unfortunately I did have people in the car that kept talking to me while I was trying to listen to my new CDs.

I've hit the 820 mile mark twice (there and back). I've also done several 700 mile trips in one day (multiple trips to the same location and back). They're not fun. I'm ok for about 400, but it can get real boring and tedious after that.

Iv driven from Omaru to Picton, jumped on the Ferry, then from the Wellinton port to Parapramu which must be close to 1,000ks?

I think its about 7-800 from Auck to Wellington. And Iv done that a few times.
(Iv also done wellington to Auckland Via New Plymouth which is LONG way)

About 350 miles in one day, but over here in England that's almost half the length of the entire country.

Im good for about 650km [about 400 miles] TOPS.

I doubt I could do much more. If the car is a small one, then it is usuially uncomfortable, and has bad seats, and I end up getting a sore back or the suspension is rough. On the otherhand, when I do long distances in my caprice, I tend to start to drift off to sleep, as there is very little road noise, and the seats are very comfortable. I wouldnt make a very good trucker.

Lyons, CO - Alpine, UT; the scenic route. It was over 750, but I can't remember how long exactly. All I remember was that I made it on two tanks of gas in the LeBaron.
