Furthest you've travelled for a car.

[Deckz]

Thought popped into my head today what the furthest everyone has travelled for a car?

Mine would be 490mile. (One way)
Got my T16 ZR outta Greenwich, London. Drove to Holyhead and got the ferry to Dublin then drove the rest home. Great experience the drive home lol no sat nav or nothing :)

All on my tod too.

[ShireRoller]

Thats a nice day out!
Went on a 680 mile round trip on Tuesday to pick up another 180. Thats the 8th MG in say 7 months I have taken my friends to get!

[top_man_eldo]

Went from Kent to Parr in Cornwall for my last ZS, went to Liverpool for the one I have now. A few weeks back I even drove from Kent to Wrexham in Wales for the gearbox!

I've done Portsmouth to Blackpool and back in a day, empty trailer up, full trailer back down with car, rollcage and wheels!

[Rocket Red]

I went from Penzance to Nottingham on the train and them drove my first zed back, no radio just a v6 soundtrack.

[Stephen]

Drove Glasgow to essex dropped of The 1.6 train to rotherham and drove the 1.8 up.

Was a 20 hour day.

[dave23572]

270 miles, for my current 180 (bought in 2006).

[redzs]

350 Miles Cambridge to Newquay in the ZS in June 2008.
(Used the A 303 as I fancied a few corners!)
Sorry I misread the title of thread- (I didn't buy a car on this trip) D'oh!

[BRMFUN]

200 miles From worcestershire to Ipswich for Rover 200 BRM 201!

350 miles that's impressive!

[grimmy]

Cumbernauld to Manchester for my 180.

[top_man_eldo]

That just proves that we need to travel to buy these cars! Worth it though! :mml:

[talkingcars]

Horsham to Gloucester to MGJohn (.org) to deliver my BRG MG Montego, we walked about half a mile and collected my MG Maestro that is now T16'ed.

Horsham to Nottingham (£12 for train to Victoria and £5 coach to Nottingham) to pick up my day 1 MG Maestro 1600 for £230 that I then sold to a chap from Chesterfield for £350.

[Rocket Red]

I went from Penzance to Nottingham on the train and them drove my first zed back, no radio just a v6 soundtrack.

Also my current zed was Penzance to Essex and back, I never buy cars in Cornwall cause they are always overpriced.

[Dan1971]

Flew to Newcastle for my blue diesel - train to York for my silver 180 - train to Portsmouth for Red.

Part of the thrill of buying for me is the travelling then the run back finding out about it.

Agree with that, when I bought my green one, I wondered why it had so many owners!

[Lukeus101]

Did a Cornwall to Scottish borders for a VR6 Corrado...not mine thank god

[SteveH]

Shrewsbury to Leeds for an MR2, and Shrewsbury to Tottenham (I think) for a vectra b Sri 2.2!

[Maxfly]

Furthest for a ZS was 137 Inverness to Dundee for the black yin but furthest for a car was to get a really exotic motor, the Rover 114Gsi - Newarthill to Leeds 211 Miles.

[vanishing days]

I travelled to Belgium and then germany then the clutch blew up

[MG mad]

About 12,000 miles - bought my wife's ZT-T V8 from the UK, although we didn't drive it home.

Yikes, I don't think that will be topped! I'd love a V8 if it weren't for the tax.

First Zed, I walked down to the MGR dealer as it was located 200 metres from my front door at the time :)

For the second, a flight to Newcastle and a 556 mile drive home to Paris. Both cars are with me now in Ireland so they're pretty well travelled. Naturally, most of my friends think I'm mad :)
