It's Official: Wagons are the Greatest Car Invented!
 

I went to Makro yesterday and went a bit overboard but was able to get it all in (just):

• I had a rolled-up king size mattress in the passenger seat and two crates of drinks in the footwell,
• Wife, baby and accessories in the back seat,
• Massive mattress box folded along the passenger side of the car (A- to C-pillar),
• More crates of drink, two pillows and some miscellaneous food (plus sub, amp, changer and strut brace, all unmoved) in the boot,
• Pushchair on top of the parcel shelf,

and I still could've done a Ferrari 'round a track if I'd felt the need! Although the mattress may have KO'd me on the first left-hand bend!

Theres no doubt about it, they are the greatest. I did 6 runs to the tip yesterday with the car packed to the rafters, I dont think the guys who work there could believe the amount of stuff packed in on each run, or how quickly I was able to get there and back! :D

Goes to show you can have a fast practial car for the family that's why I have one. :luxhello:

me to......:luxhello:

i moved house in two trips with a third for my tvs etc . quicker than any delivery van :norty:

And people don't try to beat you away from the lights. Where's the fun in beating an estate :)

they just disappear off most peoples radar ;)

What no white wine or fruit-based drink for the missus...? You just weren't trying.....

i had mine packed with tools and 2 full sets of ladders on the roof(serious roof spoilers)im never late for work.

Funny to see this as tonight I was designated driver for our darts match and we were playing away. I had 4 passengers and when they got out of the car they were all pretty amazed at just how quick it was. I was particularly happy with the comments made from one of the guys whose best mate has an Evo. He said "that is seriously quick mate....and with 5 fat *******s in it too!"

Still selling it though unfortunately.

Ditto. It's great having a fast car you can pretend you got for it's practicality :D

Think I'm even winning the wife over a little, Now we have had a couple of family trips in it. Went to watch the BTTC at Oulton park last weekend.Me, wife, 3 kids. prams, food, chairs etc.

I agree, we have just been campimg for a week and we took me, him, 2 tiddly peeps, tent, bedding, 2 man dinghy plus oars and a wakeboard. On the way back it had all that and shed loads of sand as well.
