Hey Harry,
You could join us for Cruise to the Capital in July next year - Victoria, BC to Ottawa, ON. Just about 4800kms one way! Some of the most beautiful scenery in the world along the way.

I believe that the MGA Long distance Champion is Dave Godwin

Beijing to Abingdon completed

New Zealand end to end completed

Cape Town to Abingdon completed (I had the good fortune to be along for the section Nairobi to Cairo)

And all of these trips in his MGA called RIP, and all with only very minor technical and easily rectified issues, which say a huge amount about the quality of his preparation.

Btw, Dave now has South America as a project in Planning. I almost expect him to have a project for the arctic circle before he hangs up his keys.

So Dave puts most of us to shame, but 3500km is a pretty good second place!

Harry,
What is your model MGA? I recommend Nordkap as a destination. The drive up from Oslo is spectacularly beautiful and you can enjoy the views, food, and then the museum and landmarks at Nordkap at the end. I did it in a rented Fiat 500 and it was fun. But the tunnels seem a bit long in places and narrow when meeting the big trucks. Enjoy.

Hi Harry,

Nice set-up.
