5 hours one way. I bought a STT*NG from epay last year. I saw the
listing at the last hour of the auction and decided to take a chance
because it was going cheap. It was advertised as working 100% and in
very good condition. Once i got there i was surprised to find it was in
near mint condition! However it did have a switch error and 2 lines out
on the dmd so i offered him $200 less and he took it and i drove away
with a beautiful pin and a BIG smile for cheap!

I'm gearing up to do a 700 mile round trip one day extravaganza a week
from today. Should be about 16 hours total. I have three books on
tape all set for the ride! I did one slightly shorter at around 600
miles about a month ago. Got on the road at 3AM and was back by 6PM.
I love the road warrior feeling with a pin or two in the back and a
smile on my face.

Longest drive? Probably about 250 yards straight down the middle of the
fairway.
However, the best ball I hit was the one I hit when I stepped on the
rake in the sand trap.

I've done a couple of long ones. The one to Del's house in SC and back
was just a medium one for me, even though he doesn't believe it. Can't
explain why I got nauseated while there, got kind of overheated loading
machines in the still humid air I guess. I recovered and drove on.
I remember another trip where I left at 11 PM Friday night for a
weekender to Little Rock AR for an early morning Saturday pickup, then
on to Ft. Worth TX, Vicksburg MS, Jacksonville MS, Bob Graham's place
in central TN, and back home to central IL by 4 AM Monday morning. Had
to work at the real job 8-5 Monday too. Yawn....
The other long one was that trip to the middle of Quebec and back with
12 pinball stops all over the Northeast and Canada. That one was a
three and a half day'er.
Now there's also been some discussion here in the shop whether or not
it's possible to make it from east central IL to Seattle and back in 90
hours. I've got two games sitting here that need to go there and I'm
looking at this closely for bet takers!

I did a 300 yard drive in February. Amazing how well the ball bounces
on frozen turf.

Multiple trips to NC from VA for several pins and a MAME cabinet -- roughly
500+ miles round trip each time. Thats about the furthest I have gone so

Fraser Valley B.C. to Fairmont Hot Springs on the Alberta /B.C. Border,
almost 1600 KMs (960 miles) round trip. Left 7 am Saturday Morning,
back 3 am Sunday morning. Traded a Demo Man for a BanzaI Run. Not as
far but much more of an adventure, Vancouver to Bend Oregon, thru snow
and an ice storm, slept in the truck. Well worth it to pick up a MM.
Going to California Extreme this year, hopefully will pick up something
to make a new personal distance record ;-)

I bought a couple in KY and brought them to North Florida. That's a little
over 600 miles. One was High Speed and the other Pinbot. Both were dead but
easy to fix. At $400 for both it was worth it.

Sacramento to L.A. (got there in 6 hours door to door!) but took 9
hours on the way back. If you miss getting on the freeway down there by
15 min you can easily add 2 hours to your commute, it's insane. Oh and
rush hour begins at like 2 to 3 pm. Scored 4 woodrail games for free
though: Hayburners, Turf Champ. Happy Days, and Lite A Card. Not a bad
haul actually

Indiana to Atlanta to Raleigh, NC and back to Indiana. I think it was 1300
miles maybe. Left at 4:00 pm on a Friday evening and got home around
midnight Saturday night. Got two extremely nice condition games, Sky Line
and Old Chicago. Definitely was worth the trip. Could have done it faster
but had to go the speed limit as my plates expired the day I left. I
realized it just as I was leaving the house that day.
Now Brian Saunders, he'll have the longest distance story of anyone. ;-)
