What is the longest time you've spend driving a car without any breaks?

I think I top out at around 5 hours, a long arduous journey without a working clutch so stopping was not an option.
 
Gold Coast - Bowen Qld Australia, about 1250km 3 toilet stops of less than 2min and one 10 min stop for fuel, 14 hours, unloaded truck then did the same trip in reverse, longest was 8hrs between. But here in Australia, big drives are really nothing major from Mackay to Rockhampton(closest major city) is just over 4 hours on speed limit of 100kph.
 
My most recent long one was from Aylesbury to Durham and back. January 2014. Just over 500 miles as a full trip. Stopped for nothing other than a toilet break and to pick up a Yamaha 5 String Bass I'd bought via Ebay which was the reason for the journey in the first place.
 
I did 7 hours straight driving in the USA south coast route! Beautiful drive. 4 short toilet breaks but no food. Was pretty wrecked at the end of it.
