Have a look at the big roadtrip done to pick up the game from Germany to Belgium...

Nice cabinet :)

You call 996.9km a roadtrip?  Sounds like a walk in the park....




...I did just get back from Oz tho ;)

Only 345 miles?  I had to drive 360 one way across the desert and umm state lines...  to get my blank cab.  Phoenix, AZ to Los Angeles, CA

So 720 round trip in a day, but state lines are way easier I'm sure.

Way cool though!

Enjoy!

I have to settle for the DVD version on my cab.

Yep, as a Dutchman I can only agree. Maximum North - South distance in our country is about 350 kilometers (~220 miles).

260 KMpH (161 MPH) you got to love the German Autobahn   ;D

Another Belgian guy here  ::) Great  8)

Roadtrip in US vs EUROPE...  ::)

It's not the same... here in europe we haven't cruise control, we have traffic jam, It's almost impossible to have longs hours on the same long road, with 8 or 10 different lines for driving like you  :o
So it's maybe better to estimate a roadtrip in hours spent on the road, than the distance driven in km  8) :P
