Was thinking today all the places i've taken my 180sx too over the last 2 years of ownership so just wondering where the furthest you've driven in 1 trip is. 1 trip could mean a few days in a row if you're going somewhere in the car.
My example is almost exactly 1000 miles from my door to the Stelvio Pass in Italy back in the summer.
I did Lands End to Ness Point in Lowestoft in one night a few years ago in my last car which is 452 miles with Miss Banzai.

Good trip, but being sunburnt to hell didn't really help matters.
I drove my mate from Glasgow to Maidenhead for a car, was a near 800 mile trip non stop. Car was faultless, even with the little blasts my mate and I had after he got his car. He wasn't happy my 15 year old Nissan was faster than his 3.2 Quattro TT. Doubt my current SX could make such a drive as effortlessly as my old one did
1 mile!
From the guy i bought it froms lockup to my house. That's been it so far. 😞
534 over two days to the 2014 weekender at snetterton.

I once went to the MOT station and back, a round trip of say... 4 miles.
This was years ago though when it was much newer, towards the end of its days with me i wouldnt bet on it doing half that.
I'm currently in France for my annual trip to the Alps, via Holland, Germany and Switzerlandalways in an Sbody.
Approx 2500 miles round trip.

Whoa, I mean I have enjoyed messing about in the snow in mine but driving to the Alps takes the frigin biscuit! Well played, sir. Can I ask how you navigate hills?
Adelaide hills South Australia to Blue mountains in NSW then back via Melbourne Vic.
It's not as bad as you might think, a short run up and a push into the car park is all I needed help with, everything else was okish didn't have to use the snow socks. It's compulsory to carry chains or approved socks just in case you get stuck. I use my stock wheels with winter rubber, although the pressures are jacked up high for all the Autobahn stuff which doesn't help.
The snow ploughs are normally on top of pushing the snow off the main mountain roads to let tourists get to the resorts, which leave a thin layer of white, slippery but doable even on fairly steep gradients. Once in the towns it can get a bit too tough for just tyres though depending on the place, but I tend to hardly drive once here.
Fair play, I assume you like to run pretty low pressure if you do venture out?
Only to Castle Combe about 3 hours from mine.
And to think it only required 146 cable ties to do it.
580 miles (each way) from home to Nurburgring, did over 1400 miles in total.
Bearing in mind there was less than 400 miles on my freshly built engine and mapped less than 50 miles before leaving :P lol
GP track pitlane
Ignore the horrendous ride height this was rectified afterwards
I once drove a 14a from Edinburgh to Taunton non-stop - but haven't been on any actual adventures in my 200s
Just over 3000 miles around Europe, as far as Slovenia. Including 5 laps of the ring and all it did wrong was blow 1 boost pipe off which was actually my fault because I'd recently fitted it and it was thick walled so the jubilee clip didn't have enough force to clamp it properly
Essex to Holland in my S15, did around 600 miles I think.
Bar smashing my front bumper to pieces on the Eurotunnel it was my best roadtrip by far!
We may aswell end the thread hereI'm currently in France for my annual trip to the Alps, via Holland, Germany and Switzerland
