How many miles non stop?

[stevie111s]

Hi all, have just got back from Carcassonne (south of france) for a long weekend and all praise for our great little cars ... I did 2 x 900 miles non-stop and the little beauty never missed a beat (she's a S1 Sport 160). Journey back was all top down. It seemed wherever we went we got admiring views, even folk taking photos, it was a real buzz. Even managed 2 x Millau bridge crossing (v spectacular) and general cruising around Carcasonne area exploring castles etc on Sat/Sun. Brilliant fun and all credit to the Lotus and her creators.

Anyone done more than 900 miles non-stop? Anyone fancy an organised trip next year?

None - never managed 900 miles - not on the 34l tank anyway.

How big is your fuel tank - I have to stop after 240 miles....

Sounds cool - We are driving in our S1 B&C 160 to Ibiza in 3 weeks, plus some shenanigans in the pyrenees on the way home - I hope that ours makes it as smoothly as yours!

Ill be in Ibiza then, so I will keep an eye out for you. Not literally of course, that could be quite disgusting as my eyes are on the whole, intergrated permanently into my head!

1062 miles on four occasions to visit my old man in the North of Spain. Stopped for petrol/toilet/food only!

Absolutely no issues, not even a sore backside!

What's the trick with the tolls ? Do you have to get out and walk around ?

No, they usually get sussed out and banned quite quickly.


Oh - tolls...

[fentuz]

I do Calais->Quimper in Brittany 3 or 4 times a year that's about 800kms...
I usualy go for 2 weeks and do 2000miles

16500miles this year... and £1200 of precious liquid...

If the roofs off, simply stand on the seat

I've done a few 700 plus milers in a day Stevie but unfortunately don't have inflight refuelling facilites so have to stop!
Great little cars and more comfy than you'd think though aren't they?
