1300 Miles drive in 996tt

I'm getting ready for 1300 Miles drive to south of Spain for winter (2 day drive). Should I check anything on my car before leaving? Should I worry about anything specificaly about my Turbo?

Could there be any problems with driving 10,11 hours straight on Highway?

I don't expect any problems since my car is in good condition but better safe than sorry.

Check the coolant level, tires pressure and the radar detector!

Pfft, I drive that much in two weeks - and have done so repeatedly for the entire past year. (= ~ 29000 miles). Couldn't think of a more solid (and fun) car to rack up the miles.

Yes, I change tires about every four months

Thanks guys

@OS Inspector: That reminds me. I have to finish my iPod install before leaving.

Edit: @asgor: And I tought I drive my TT a lot haha. Nice to see that most owners really know how to enjoy Turbos (and 911's in general).
