    What the longest distance youve driven your Cali at one time - Not talking about Rick the 30k mile maniac in 6 months rather how much seat time in one trip and how was the ride?

    I drove it back from Maranello to London last year but stopped in Cannes for the night so that's about 900 miles in 1 day....Fully convertible the whole way as well :)

    The seats and position were very comfortable although I had a bit of a headache at the end after so many hours of convertible driving ;-)

    That will do it - but with the top up I imagine you would have been fine

    Whhhhhaaat? I can't play:)? All of my trips have been short, most of those miles have been in town! Longest for me was Toledo Ohio to Kenosha WI. There was a WAY cool thread last year as I remember of a blue (as I remember) Cali going in a bit of a circle around the USA. I was VERY jealous of that trip.

    Only about 285, probably less than 5 hours. A short trip by many standards. I drove to Columbus OH probably six times to visit my son or get service at MAG. And one Munci Indiana trip, probably a couple Cleveland trips for car gatherings, all within a couple hours or sl. I add miles by making extra trips. The post office is near my bank. If I have to visit both I often take two trips from the office. It is silly but I get more fun!

    Same as Deppio. Maranello to London via the Swiss passes, Germany, Belgium and France. Most was about 800 in one day. Brilliant trip, brilliant car.

    Last summer I drove from LA to Lac Ste. Marie, Que. at the end of June - about 3185 miles. Then, at the end of August I drove back to LA - about 2865 miles (different route obviously). The trip out was just about spot on a week with a couple of stops on the way; the trip back (or 2500 miles of it) was 3.5 days. The drive was an absolute joy and the car performed flawlessly.

    Gents, do you find yourself driving in auto mode or manual on these trips? Any worries about the tranny in traffic jams? I’m planning a trip from Naples to Orlando and there is sure to be traffic on I4 near o-town. I’ve been in traffic before and get DCT anxiety lmao
