Pentoman,
No Offense but your entire COUNTRY it seems is not quite as large as my STATE(TEXAS) here in the US. No need to give a history/geography lesson as I'm sure you're aware of how the US is broken up. But Driving distances in England,Germany France and other nations seem to pale in comparison to the sort of cross country drives we do here. The distance that Dr. ///AMG was referring to is a minimum of 1400miles or 2258Kilometers. Thats 24 hours at the national speedlimit of 70mph
I've driven "nonstop" Houston to Washington DC 24hrs straight throught with my wife driving 4-6 of the 24. So that's why there is a propencity to fly out to get a car and then drive it back or have someone simply deliver it for us to avoind that dreadfully boring drive. Mile after mile, hour after hour......Flash back...I'm going to go lie down now
