Re: Classic cars for larger broods

I had actually thought about limos, but this kind of thing always came to mind so in the end I kept coming back to estates. Really though, a full 6-door like that offers so much potential...

Re: London to Brighton runs.

I got caught up in the middle of the commercial run while in my green Allegro estate, travelling down to Magnificent Motors in Eastbourne; I got just as many waves & pictures taken as any commercial I was passing, until I had to part ways from the main stream of vehicles.
