Where's the furthest you've driven your GTI?

I am beginning to get really excited about driving the GTI to Estonia again next week
I have done it a couple of times before and last time got all the way to the border with Russia! That was nearly 1500 miles driving and about a 15 hour ferry trip to get there. Just wondering what the furthest place anyone has taken their GTI to is? Has anyone gone further? Would be interesting to know.

I don't think anyone can match yours HOMESQUEEZE
I've done Crewe (Cheshire) to Inverness in my old k03 GTI. 430 miles, took about 12hrs with all the slow winding Scottish roads.
Trip Display said I had 80 miles of fuel remaining too

Took my old mkiv to the Stelvio pass - would love to do the same in my ED30!
Can't beat a good roadtrip!

400 miles Midlands to Portsmouth and back to see Carl to do my cruise control, with a stop in London on the way up
Cost me £75 IIRC and hit 42.8 mpg, those days are gone with the A3 CR TDI - could probably do it on £35 now

No where near as far but bought my ed30 a couple of months ago from Dover. Had the fun of driving it back to Yorkshire.

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.

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
