Wasn't in my BM sadly, was in the other steed - our Disco4. 3 up with kit and MTB bikes off the back.
Drove back from Morzine on Saturday to Essex, 11 hrs door to door, then 6 hours power nap then onto West Yorkshire, fair to say I didn't do a lot on Sunday If I'm honest I'm amazed a Land Rover can do that sort of mileage without a mechanical of some sort |

You're right they should be good for it, but ours has just topped 80k and I've been looking to replace it with a Merc GL and was worried it may throw a wobbler out of spite |

Can't compete with you lot. Used to drive down to Eze in S France quite often in various Loti. Would leave after work and catch tunnel about 10pm. Out other side just before midnight. Earplugs in, foot down (usually with roof off) to Grenoble stopping only to change drivers and fill up. Would hit Grenoble at about 5am, quick stop again for fuel and expresso.
Then came the reward for that slog. As sun rose, we'd head down to Gap and onto Digne to pick up Route Napoleon all the way down to coast. Quiet cruise along to Eze in time for brekkie and chill by the pool. Was almost 950 miles on the dot door to door. God I loved doing that...
