It would probably be about 150ish miles to Devon to get my Turbo lump fitted!

[rodg98133]

That for me would be stoke on trent (about 20 mins away) to get somed doors.

If i went any further i'd get lost

Birmingham (300 miles round trip) to pick up a top end.

Truro (400 miles round trip) to pick up a bargain set of wheels and tyres.

Margate (400 miles round trip, 6 hrs way back due to M25 :( ) to pick up rear beam.

Like Rob, I was going there anyway, but the furthest place I bought anything for the car was Los Angeles.

The furthest I've been specifically for the car alone was Kent (Probably 500 miles round trip)

[astrasteve23]

furthest iv been was kent for a rollcage and fibreglass bonnet for the GTE, was just over 300 miles there and back i think.

[Black Magic]

Germany for me, for some of the rare fog light switches that fit in replace of the blanking plates on the left hand side of the dash. 700 miles or so give or take a few hundred more

[traffman]

central scotland to cheam in london then back up 3 weeks later, never once missed a beat. good mpg aswell.

[astrayorkie]

london to yorkshire to get a bodykit then to middlesborough to pick up some more bits then home.

[teej]

Somewhere near Wisbech, about 150mile round trip, for what might have been an engine at some point, and a couple of gearboxes, that may or may not be straight cut.

Furthest parts have come from Norway, and Cornwall, but the seller delivered on the second one (rear beam and several sets of wheels).

I flew to Glasgow to buy my 306, and then drove it home; good job i liked it, 'cos I only got a one way ticket.
