john - I was on about your red bull penchant

Still a cracking read, thanks stu200 for finding it. Also, did anyone notice the thread ID? 1734! This thread 3.5 years later is 232024! Flippin' muppets [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

rich - you must have made a mistake. No-one goes to Luxembourg. They just pass through it.

One offs are all very well guys and gals, but hows this...

Every weekend I drive 30 miles for an espresso, when I have an espresso machine in the kitchen.

I forgot, I also drove from Bracknell to Glasgow and back in a day to deliver some lights for a freind and then drove back up four days latter to pick them up, and then returned home via yorkshire. Probably did 2000 miles in a week!!!! This is why my car had 208000miles on it when I sold it.

Just a minor detour Richard, the fuel was cheap there so why not? Ah, Red Bull i can handle.

I once drove from Manchester to croft racing circuit and back after being wound up in an argument. I couldnt think where to go so thought, sod it, i havnt been to that track yet. It was about midnight at the time. LOL

I did a 620mile road trip . Ok the 1st 212 miles were taking my Dad to heathrow airport and driving back home, which I duly picked up a friend and drove down to Falmouth. Visted a friend, had some fish and chips, then drove back!

worst of all I did in my Dad's old Rover 216, So not the most pleasurable of trips !
