Longest continuous drive
What is your longest road trip without sleeping? I've developed a reputation for it and am now the designated driver for every occasion.. I'm trying to find out the world record, which I imagine would be much longer than my efforts.

Port Elizabeth to Welkom and back (VW Golf) - 1640km
Port Elizabeth to Midrand (VW Golf) - 1250km
Riom/Clermont Ferrand (France) to Bath (UK) (Nissan Micra ) - 691 miles/1150km
Tableview to Port Elizabeth (VW Golf) - 815km

Dad once got driven by his mate from Calais to Athens, which is about 2000km. No idea how he managed it.

I hope you guys are following the stop, revive, survive rule to make sure you don't kill yourselves.

Except for Langeveldt. Reckon you'll be fine, so don't stop.

Longest I've done myself is Wollongong to Lorne, which is about 960 according to Google maps. A friend of mine did Cairns to Newcastle, which is about 2300. By the end of it he was basically insane.
