Thanks for the replies.
Astra van - naaah
Mondeo - hmmm V6 with space but still a mongo
Volvo - v.good I expect but a little bit too "old geezer"
Landy - would love too but a bit slow and uncomfortable (I know as I drove from UK to S.Africa and half way back in a MK II)
Pug - just too boring and ugly (no offence!)
Ford - cheap old Ford will have just to much rust lol
SAAB - hmm, this seems a good idea. Not cheap, even with 150K on the clock but otherwise I think this seems to be the winner so far.
Cheers
Matt

I am thinking of getting a second car with room to carry my mates and our mountain bikes.
The Scoob is great but not an ideal choice. The other half has a Pug 106 1.1 so that's no good either.
I need something that I won't be too fussed about looking after i.e. leaving it parked where ever, carrying muddy bikes and mucky ppl, is reliable, has plenty of room and doesnt cost much.
Only looked at a few Legacy 5drs on Autotrader with a zillion miles on so far.
Thoughts pls...
Cheers

Molds, ya any luck on that Escort mate, and I agree an old Espace would be a great idea, but the Escorts cheap as .... no I'm not going to say it... errr.. a protein shake!
