Who has driven their 1200 the furthest on a single road trip?

I'm curious, I've never been more than 100km on a single trip because my car was P.O.S

What about you guys.. I know that DD has driven from Cali back up to WA... have any of you Aussies driven like from Perth to Brisbane or eqivalent... Im assuming that no-one here has driven across the USA.

Did you drive it with an A series or some other engine... just curious to know.

I drove from Lethbridge, AB to Taber, AB once - google maps it... crazy trip!

Adelaide to bendigo and back in my 1200 coupe to buy parts when i was 18... I ended up buying a 1600 and had to return with a trailer and my uncles 4wd a week later.

Didn't miss a beat and sat on 100+ all day, thats A12 with 155/75x12's stock as a rock.

The farthest for me is from the San Francisco Bay Area down to Long Beach. About 400mi (643km) each way. A12/5spd.

Also, Mt. Shasta, 290mi each way.
South Lake Tahoe, 200mi.
