South Cumbria to Stockport. Not that far really.

I wouldn't have any problem with travelling further for a car. When I was looking to buy the A3 I was considering getting the train to a dealer down south that was offering me a good deal.

Darlington to South London to buy the BMW (just under 600 miles round trip) - proper random Monday night trip, set off at 6pm and got in 6am

then Darlington to wayyy up the top of Scotland for the hard top for it (for Winter) - about 550 mile round trip - set off 8pm on a Sunday night

My mate came across from Norway to Newcastle to buy a supra

I have also travelled from Darlington to Sheffield to Safron Walden to Sheffield to Darlington to buy half a car (over 600 miles) in one day

Bought my dads car from Sheffield (100 miles each way), delivered a car to Manchester (120 miles each way)

Its good fun driving!

Corsa was 9miles away after looking all over for a decent one, N'Castle etc one turned up at local garage so just snapped it up.

TT was 30mile away, was working around the corner, seen it, test drove it bought it so I was there anywas so could be seen as 0miles.
