I have driven from the gold coast QLD to Sydney 3 times over a 12 month period to pick up 3 seperate pinball machines. Too old to bother doing it anymore cause it takes too much out of you.  

They were 3 x fast n furious trips. Left the gold coast friday afternoon, after work, drove thru the night, arrived in Sydo early morning saturday, picked up the machine and headed straight back to the Gold Coast and arrived home for dinner satday evening.

Then u just sleep all day sunday/monday to recover.
