Managed four bikes mounted on the roof on the return leg from nr Leominster to London.









The MB bike system is very good. In fact, we dropped the bikes off at Islabikes for a service (if anyone's familiar with the brand) and the chap there said that it's the best that he's seen in terms of design, functionality and simplicity. They're reassuringly stable up to silly speeds.

We were just as packed on the way back, though not in the cab, to the relief of the occupants!

I don’t think there is much faster than one of these on this thread. But oh so ‘under the radar’ (compared to the current RS6 for instance).

Walked past a lovely black one of these the other day, stunning and an absolute weapon. C63 for me next as can't stretch to a e63, but after the c63 I think the e63 with its AWD but similarly amazing engine and character would be a great used buy once they slide under 40k or so.

It's pretty infrequent I drive my Legacy. Spend most of the time in my £1k Yaris T sport hehe

Think when I sell and get something else, it'll have to be a manual. The auto makes for a wafty but uninvolving drive.

Thanks man! It is a nice car, very good over a distance. My 1.5k miles a year I do doesn't do it justice.

I feel like theres an unwritten rule in this thread…if it’s blue it’s going to be good.

That is quite the stunning looking vehicle sir, very nice.

Took the Scooby to the seaside for some fish and chips, first time I have had it out of the garage for months and she rode beautifully.

Brilliant use of a E Class estate. 4 bikes up top, a boot full of luggage and a bonus point for artwork.

I think that I love everything about the image and the idea of a drive just to get fish n' chips clap

Just tightened the bars up ready for touring mode.





Been parked up for months. Noticed the rear was a little low. Only got a screw in it! Bummer.
Just whipped it off now and will get it repaired before the weekend.
