Bit measly I'm afraid:
High Wycombe - Tobermory (Isle of Mull) approx 501 miles, completed many times and back.
The cars were: Ford Ka 1.3, then Ford Fiesta mk5 (gave me serious backache), lastly MG ZR 1.4 which was the most comfortable.
Took longer going up then back down due to ferry times. Going up 15 hours, had to wait two and a bit hours for ferry at Oban to get across.
Coming back down only waited 20 minutes for ferry then only a couple of loo stops on way.

Oxford to just south of Klodzko in Poland is my longest single day run. About 980 Miles in an E39 540.
Regularly do the 860 miles from Oxford to Pavia (Italy) in one hit.

I forget the exact mileage, but over 5000kms in a rental Fabia 1.4. It was over 12 days, starting and finishing in Bratislava and taking in Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Croatia along the way. At the Transfagrasan pass:  Brilliant trip and I couldn't have asked for more from the little Skoda.

Furthest I've been in one day is around 550 miles from Kent to Lucerne in my Westie. Continued onto Sicily and back home in about 10 days, and 3600 miles. Makes me quite proud to think I have driven my car up Mount Etna!

Dont know how many miles in total but a few years ago I took a roadtrip from Minnesota, south to Kansas, then West to New Mexico, Arizona, Cailfornia, then to Wyoming, Nebraska, back to Minnesota (I have skipped a few states inbetween but you get a general idea of my route).

I had to think about this, but it was Wigan to St Aignan in France circa 631 miles.
Must try harder.

Reading to Zeeland (holland) only about 350 miles, but on the way back we travelled through the snow and it took us 8 hours to do the 230 miles to Calais! I have never been more tired in my life! Driving through the snow really takes it out of you!

A grand total of around 30-35 miles.
I really feel the need to go somewhere far away but petrol prices always kill that idea.
