Show us your estates

The Rennow doesn't count as its an MPV probably. But it looks pretty mad. 

Likewise the two Espaces we had - disqualified for MPV-ness.

So mine.  After a disastrous purchase on a Shitroen Zantia I found a cracking Avensis estate, low miles one owner. 

We had a weekend away with the caravan with some friends, while away I was eyeing up their Sharan.  I’d no plan to swao the Avensis, it was a truly brilliant car.  But the kids were getting bigger, we’d taken on a Labrador too, so extra space was becoming necessary.  My mate rang me a week before christmas later that year offering the Sharan for the trade in price. We couldn’t refuse.  The Avensis went to my FIL, he was about to retire and lose his company car. Another truly brilliant car, so good that after adding nearly 100k to it we happened upon a last of the model 3 year old with 30k on it in the best colour….RED.  
We had it a good few years, but one weekend while I was away the wife went out and bought herself a Mazda6 Tourer. Lovely car, really comfy and very frugel for a powerful 2.0 ltr petrol.  It’s barely an estate mind, more a big hatchback.  Being hers more than ours, I’m not really allowed to fill the boot and do tip runs in it.  And not being allowed in the tip in my van hence the purchase of the Astra, to then be replaced last year with the Fabia.
