Let's use this topic for the last stops (Cabo Frio, perhaps?) before Opportunity leave the vicinity of Victoria for good.

Paolo, given the relative safety of the current driving surface, have you considered going for a new single drive record, which I believe is currently 220 meters?

I'm sure all rover drivers are thinking about it but (I hope) we are disciplined enough to think about the goal which is not beating the record but to get to Endeavour.

No, I really mean that while trying to do long drives we still maintain the rover safe. The goal is getting there, not die trying to.
