End to End record?

[jay85]

Visited Lands End the other day and got me thinking, what is the record for driving End-to-End in a car? There isn't much about it online, just full of records on walking, cycling, skateboarding, electric cars, youngest, oldest etc.

Has anyone on here ever done it in a car in a good time (and without breaking the law obviously) and if you have what car and what time did you do it in?

I would be interested to know

Cheers

Cool thanks for the link, that certainly looks interesting might have to sign up.

Someone on here must have done it before though? Anyone?

I can't even think about my fuel costs,brings me out in the shakes

Where would you be starting from? Any time would highly depend on the points being driven from/to.

That sounds like a pretty good time to me! Google maps route planner says it should take over 15 hours (and that doesnt take fuel stops into account!).

You must of had a pretty good avarage speed!

Sorry, I have amended my original post as it wasnt to clear but just interested in how long it has taken people to drive from Lands End to John O'Groats in a car. And if there is some sort of record for it anywhere?

Good story here from someone who did it on Kawasaki in 1984 in a little over 11 hours.
