What is the longest distance you have gone on a road trip with your MINI. I havent taken any really long ones, but I think the logest one I have been on was about 550 miles.

My first long road trip with Celeste:
Pick up from dealer this January. 3 days driving, about 850 miles.

2nd road trip: Galveston - Houston - Fredericksburg - Austin - Houston - Galveston. 3 days, 750 miles.

3rd road trip is the one I am currently on. 1st leg: Galveston - Seattle. 3 1/2 days, 2500 miles. The rest of this trip is still up in the air. Celeste is currently cooling her heels and enjoying the Pac NW.

Cheers,
Markus

Longest would be from Cleveland to Annapolis and back... second would be Cleveland to Niagara Falls and back, 3rd Cleveland to Morgantown, PA and back. Haven't done a whole lot of roadtrips yet. Will be delivering an old Auburn Motor Co. neon sign to a town near Worchester (pronounced Wooster, crazy New Englanders), Mass.

When I still had my Beetle, I drove from Cleveland to north of San Francisco and back in 7 days to the minute, and that included spending 3 days in CA. Whee! I should be making a few trips to Boca Raton, FL and back soon.

Longest trip at one time so far - Northern VA to Charleston SC for MINI Meet East last year - about 12 hours - not a problem with the car - and we had only had it about 2 weeks - it was an awesome trip and we met lots of great MINIacs.
