Newcastle - Kent and back in 1 day.

760miles in a Diesel Renault Traffic Mini Bus.

Drove home on 3 cylinders as a diesel injection pipe snapped on cylinder 4 and was pissing diesel out over the block. Bodged a system to return the diesel back to the tank and drove the fucker home @ 60mph.

Not all of these on the same day.

Barnsley to Newquay = 360 miles - 5.5 hours

Barnsley to Disney Land Paris = 500 miles - 6 hours tops.

Barnsley to Troon (Scotland) Ferry to Larne. Then up to Culdaff = 400 miles - 6 hours
