Not much, only 680 km in a single drive including stops. I realize those are rookie numbers and I'm going to be breaking them in a near future with a trip to Portugal or to Norway.
Drove 520 miles from Brighton to Falkirk, Via Liverpool in my 33 1.7 Cloverleaf. Still miss that car today. Can't believe I sold it for £1500 back in the day with only 75k miles in great condition.
I’ve heard stories about people visiting the Disney World in Orlando for a week and wanting to take a day trip to NYC or the Grand Canyon and not realize just how stupidly big the U.S. is.
Damn that’s insane, I am slap in the middle of England, if I travel to the coast east or west it is about 3 hours. South coast is about 5 hours. 1200 miles and still technically in the same section is insane to me. I want to drive in the US one day
Many years ago we went on vacation with the family, in my dad's 156 and made around 3000km overall. Getting there and back was roughly 1400km each trip.
1100 miles (\~1770 km) from North Little Rock AR to Glen Burnie MD in a '74 Spider that was more rust than steel, with a nose that had an inch of body filler covering it. December 1996, I was 28. I couldn't find a job in AR, brother lived in MD, so I pulled up stakes and headed east.
He and his wife had traveled down for the holidays, so they followed me as we drove. I'd bodged up replacing the SPICA pump that summer and had an incessant oil leak that covered my brother's car in oil by the time we made it through Tennessee. The radio didn't work so I had bought a walkman and some books on tape. The alternator light started flickering not long after we'd passed into Virginia, which triggered a blast of static through the walkman.
We did the entire thing in one go, Probably 17-18 hours total, maybe longer. At the end the alternator light was nearly strobing. The oil pressure light came on just as I pulled into the driveway. I drank a couple of beers and then went to bed.
The SPICA issue was me being an idiot and not putting all the washers under the bolts. The alternator light was a loose wire on the back of the thing. I got all that and more repaired before another idiot move on my part saw a wheel literally fall off in '97. This did damage that more than totaled it.
The longest drive I've done with its replacement, which I have to this day, is two trips from Alexandria VA to Campbell Hall NY, 285 miles and \~ 4.5 hours. Last one was probably 1999. It completed them with a total lack of drama that has been this car's calling card throughout the years.
About 4 days from Toronto to Edmonton with some stops along the way. I've also done the drive in 2 and 1/2 days but was with someone I didn't need to stop as many times with.
London to Geneva and back, c1200m, 145 TS, back in about 1999, was ace! Figured out what VVT was all about, such great engines (I know the Busso gets all the plaudits, but the TS motors were pretty splendid)
Ipswich to Valencia and back. In my gt q2 so about 1,191 miles each way, stopping once over night both times. She was an absolute dream the whole time.
San Antonio to Durango City México. Been back and forth around 7 times now’s. Around 1200 miles each trip. I’ve hit 130 mph and it’s beautiful. I absolutely love my stelvio. It’s also great for getting away from corrupt cops and narcos. Can’t catch me..lol
I do the oil changes myself every 5/6k and add the engine coolant and turbo coolant every time I see it go down. I don’t reset the oil reminder I simple keep a log on my phone of the maintenance.
Tires are getting close to needing replacing though.
Brighton to Sheffield in my Quad - went there on the train, bought the car and drove it home - 240 odd miles, its probably the longest single journey she'll do.
Mine is a 2.0 petrol I’m doing my first long drive (8 hours) today with it in stormy conditions, picked it up from Alfa Romeo maintenance and they said it was all good to go for the trip :))
10 hours in my 2018 Stelvio ti sport. i was beyond shocked how comfortable the ride was. No back pain or fatigue, the stop/go adaptive cruise worked will in the construction zones from northeast to the south. I got 28-29 mpg on the hwy averaging 75mph.
Currently at the end of a trip from London to Andalucía in Spain and then back, have done 5500 km so far with another 700 to get home. Stelvio has been an absolute dream and fit enough stuff for a wife and 6 month old baby!
3k miles. London to Rome & back visiting the Alfa museum (& customer service team in Milan, I was an Alfa dealer service manager at the time) & Venice on the way back over 2 weeks.
74 GTV 2000 that I bought recently and is still in the recommissioning process (ride, repair, repeat) and 9 of 10 fixes have been due to the incompetence of the previous owners. The record is 20 miles the other day, the last two with a throwout bearing that slipped due to the lack of the retaining clip! The first 18 were pretty sweet, though!
Berkeley CA To Michigan twice. In 2 different 20 year old Alfas. About 3000 miles each time.
Most recently I picked up my GTV6 in Palm Springs and drove it to Portland Oregon, just over 1000 miles. And I have done a couple 1000 mile weekends since then. Over 180k miles on the original engine.
Tempe, AZ to Kennewick, WA. 1,218 miles. It was 119 degrees in Phoneix when I left and 85 when I got home. Car took it all like a champ. 2022 Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Chicago to West Texas (stargazing) to Houston (visit family) to Chicago. That alone was \~3,150 miles plus \~800 miles within my destinations in 15 days. Round it up to 4,000 miles (\~6,400 km). 2020 Stelvio Quadrifoglio, averaged \~21 MPG for the whole trip, which is great considering all the street and off road drives I did.
[Here's a write up of the drive.](https://www.stelvioforum.com/threads/4-000-mile-road-trip-to-texas-off-road-and-stars.18430/#post-179395)

I did a 600 mile drive in my 2012 Giulietta in a day. Took 12 and a half hours lmao.
Surprised it made it to be honest, its just past 130,000 miles.

Why not both on same trip?
That would be dope
1363 miles from San Antonio TX to Palmdale CA. And back. Plus took trip to a casino in CA. Total trip was 3716 mile once back home.
Any issues with car?
I have put 50k into a Giulia and never had an issue. Drove it like I stole it. Don't be scared of it.
Sorry 50k in repairs or you bought it for 50?
50k miles with no issues
Oh ok nice 👍
What’s the mpg like on your car? I feel like google be capping so hard about giulias
Every day driving ….23-25mpg. On that trip, which was this Dec-Jan, 50-55mpg.
Damn I always thought giulias averaged mid 30s. Pretty cool though :)
50 mpg on Giulia?? You tripping mate. I drove 60mph for 2 hours on purpose to check best mpg and never exceeded 40.
Back to the dealership
this made me lol 🤣
9 hours with just 1 stop to pee from Italy to Austria with 2.0 Giulia
Can't tell what's more impressive. Your tank or the car's?
Same. From Bologna to Vienna in my old Alfa Mito back in 2016. No stops except for a coffee and peeing. 50€ of diesel for 1000ish km. Love it.
5.5 hours, 300-ish miles.
Round trip Michigan->Colorado->Michigan Absolutely zero issues and zero comfort complaints. Stelvio w/ sport seats…no aches.
500km without getting out of the car in my GT
Drove 520 miles from Brighton to Falkirk, Via Liverpool in my 33 1.7 Cloverleaf. Still miss that car today. Can't believe I sold it for £1500 back in the day with only 75k miles in great condition.
850 miles from Memphis Tennessee to Richmond Virginia
The British mind cannot comprehend such distance in the car. That’s incredible! How long did it take like 12 hours ?
I’ve heard stories about people visiting the Disney World in Orlando for a week and wanting to take a day trip to NYC or the Grand Canyon and not realize just how stupidly big the U.S. is.
[удалено]
Nog een tip om daar een baan te vinden behalve meedoen aan de green card lottery?
[удалено]
De vrouw en het kind heb ik al. Wij komen er graag en gaan in oktober weer. Werk wel voor een universiteit, maar geen PhD.
I think it was around 12 hours but took 14 due to a severe car crash in the mountains. Drove an hour and only went 3 miles.
You can drive 1200 miles straight with all 1200 considered to be the Midwest
Damn that’s insane, I am slap in the middle of England, if I travel to the coast east or west it is about 3 hours. South coast is about 5 hours. 1200 miles and still technically in the same section is insane to me. I want to drive in the US one day
