Reading this thread reminds me of 1971 when me and three mates decided to watch the Rugby in Scotland. We drove up in my mini, sharing the driving, after work on the Friday night, watched the match on Saturday, had a few drinks, tried unsuccessfully to sleep in the car, and eventually started back on the trip to Cardiff at around 5.00 am on Sunday and were all in work on Monday.
Absolutely stupid thing to do that I would not recommend anyone to do but a great memory.
The car was eventually wrecked when an hgv pulled from the outside into the left lane not noticing that he had a mini car alongside his cab on the inside. Sometimes it's easy to forget how small they were.
