Built like a Mercedes 3681On Tue, 07 Feb 2006 23:37:05 +0000, Pooh Bear Like I said - Britts don't know what a "long drive" is. Many Canadians and Americans routinely drive 300 miles each way weekends...

Driving from Waterloo Ontario to Prince Edward Island ( 1770 km) in one day is a long trip. Or driving to Montreal and back (1286 Km). Or driving to Winnipeg (2155 km) in 2 days. Heck, Waterloo to Windsor and back in the same day (587km) is starting to get a bit tedious, but is not a "long" trip. Waterloo to Banff in 2 days - that's a long trip. Waterloo to Lakeland Florida? That's a long trip. But none are terribly out of the ordinary for me in years past. Vic Falls Zambia to Luapula Province Zambia? now THAT IS a long trip, even spread over 3 days. Particularly in the rainy season. Worse conditions than what I generally encounter here in Canada. However,Even 170 Km from Wiarton to Waterloo is a long trip when there's a good foot of snow on the road surface, and you can't see 500 feet in front of you like the trip this weekend!!!Shovelling the car (NOT a 4wd) out of snow banks just makes the trip longer.
300 miles a day, in decent weather???? Naa, that's not a long trip at all.
