How far have you gone?

I keep on saying to Mrs that we could drive our 306 to Moscow quite easily. Google says it's almost 2000 miles. Does that sound a lot? Time stated 33 hours with no traffic.. Would it be punishing to do?  I sort of see it as doing the distance all in one go rather that what can accrue in time so what the heck.  I figure that's  40 gallons of diesel one way.  I reckon 500 miles a day with breaks .  Yup I know  flying costs £100 and  door to door takes about 10 to 12 hours, but just supposing I tried driving what would it really be like and might I live to regret even trying it ?

I do a lot of driving in Europe, and the US recently at the moment due to work and living between several locations. When I was moving my 306 5 years ago, I drove 2,512 miles to Nordkapp in Norway, and back another 560 miles to where I was located. The car didn't struggle at all and kept going, I did 1,400 miles in one run and only stopping for fuel before taking a break. I split the drive with 2 overnight stops normally when I drive the 1,600 miles makes things easier.

Also if you plan to do the drive in the winter you will need winter tires, and in Moscow I would recommend studded over friction.
