A little bit off topic, but who here has the record for the greatest distance driven while under cruise control. I realized that I drove home this morning and did not break cruise control from San Ysidro to Santa Ana (100 miles or so). CC performed wonderfully

Sounds great - where I am people keep getting in the way so i have to slow down - then hit the resume button. I've driven several hundred miles this way.
Where I live, the freeways are 2 (max 3) lanes and I always seem to get the drivers who don't look in their rear view mirrors. :thumbsdown:
My baby's under a year old and I've not taken her too far so the longest I've run on cruise control is probably 30 minutes on a run out to the airport when no-one else is on the roads.

My Ride: E60 520d with BMW Night Vision, Adaptive Bi-Xenon, Adaptive Cruise Control, Pro Logic 7, Pro Nav with DVD changer and TV, Aux in for Ipod, Hella White Taillamps, Red Angel eyes, HUD, BMW Individual Backseat DVD with infrared headsets, Alp White 3, Comfort Seats with ventilation electric memory, sunroof, PDC, Alpine remap, M-Sport, Dynamic Drive, Steptronic ..... (ALL OPTIONS) (Why not get all options then buying a bigger engine?)
180-200 kmh from Istanbul to Ankara (Capital) then the return journey 200-210 kmh road was empty and when the cars saw me they just moved out of the lane so it was kinda fun. BTW 1 + 1/4 tank diesel. The total is about 1100-1200 km. Only one car passed me and it was and S 65 or 55 (not sure) AMG.Was going with 250 I guess. I have ACC btw.

Aren't there roads in Montana without a speed limit?
