Thanks for the replies guys
There's some good road trips going on there! Probably quite obvious but I i'm not driving the 1500 miles all in one go, takes about three days
Including driving around in Estonia, it's close to a 4k round trip. I hope petrol prices are good in Europe at the moment!!
I've done road trips over the alps. Travelling through France Germany Switzerland Italy Austria. About 2000 plus miles in 6 days. Done it over different roads three years running. Brilliant fun. Furthest part of journey each time was Zurich to home, 13 hour drive including the ferry. A lot of driving but the gti is comfy and with cruise control and dsg it was done with ease.
That's a good drive! I agree, the GTI is a great car for long cruises. First time I did the drive I didn't have cruise control though and that was a bit harsh. Got cruise fitted before I did the next trip and it was so much better!
Not sure if this counts, but in the late 80's I drove my Mk1 GTi from Cape Town to Mombasa totalling 5297 kilometres or 3291 miles
Yep, i'll give you that one, it's still a GTI after all. Cool trip.
I've done 15k in my Mk5, not in one journey though
Furthest was about 650 miles in one day but that was mental.. Went from my house to Liverpool then to Bournemouth then back to my house.
Not very exotic, but I tip my hat to you for that one! That's a hell of a drive in a day!
