Seen plenty of stretched saloons, but never a stretched Estate, quite interesting;

I liked that for some bizarre reason.. 8-)

Right up until I remembered how asthmatic that Cologne engine felt without an extra half a ton of bodywork to lug around. ::)

then realised it was short of 24 litres of engine to propel it.

Just longer in places, looked right, but in a wierd sort of way if you know what I mean.

Looks like a coffin carrier :-?
And looks like it's also carried the excess soil away in it, after the burial :y
