Straps?!

Something I'm very conscious of. My boot is constantly choc full of tools, so I always keep all three rear seatbelts clicked in. Hopefully that'll stop the 100s of KG of ***** beating me round the back of the head!

I'll get some pics of mine up soon. Just got fed up with photobucket so I've deleted my account and will find somewhere else to host them.

Here's a couple of mine.

Im looking into Estates as we have an other wee one on the way and ive just recently sold my A8. I was heart sat on an RS4 but @Boabybooster has made me look more into RS6`s but my only down fall there is none over here.

This is what they teach you in the Speed awareness courses too!

I really do miss my old passat estate and after offering it to the wife for her to drive, at the time saying it was too big, she recently said she would have driven it alright

 

[JD.]

Don't know if this has been posted. Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon:

 

[keegs86]

What's the new Leon one like? No idea why but recently been thinking of getting one lol

 

[roverspeed]

I am driving around in this at the moment, i have to say they look much better than their saloon counterparts.

Vauxhall calls it a sports tourer rather than an estate, because I think its too small to call a proper estate. The tailgate door is about 2 feet thick!

PS I had just driven from Roscommon in this picture, hence its stinking.

I really like them in SRI trim

I love the B7 Passat estates. Some of the later ones with the 177PS engine can be had for around £10k. Hard to get one with extras but the odd well-specced example comes up every now and again.

The Insignia looks ok but they're one of the most horrible cars to drive I've ever driven.

 

[Mr.Mint]

This is perfect imo:

Vauxhall Omega 2.2 DTi 16v CDX 5dr

Spotless to begin with, Eibachs, Bilstein B8's decent set of wheels and it will last!

Again, that is my opinion

 

[Adam]

Pity its painfully slow though.

I was surprised how nicely it drives. Better than my b6 Passat.

My biggest annoyance is that its overly fidgety on crap roads, i had the alignment done and it still feels a bit snatchy at low speeds on broken ground. Might just be having 245/40R18's?

Mine is the SRI 160 trim but pre-facelift. Its a pity they are so heavy, its doesn't leap of the line for sure but at motorway speeds it has decent enough lift.

 

[thomas_lad]

i love that Alfa Sportwagon

[Adam]

That is gorgeous!

Does anyone know the black one about Belfast? he's actually debadged the rear. He had a bit of a squirrel past my house this afternoon when he floored it a bit
