Should have taken the scenic route, looks like a lot of motorway!
I was down in North Devon - Barnstaple - and driving back at night on Sunday in the wagon has sealed the deal for me, I want the same car but with a manual V8, so I'm on the hunt. Those big hills with the car loaded up, it'd settle into 4th gear, 3k RPM and just chug chug up the hill. It was hovering below 70mph but had no more oomph to make it past. Annoyingly the gears are too far apart, it can't drop to 3rd because the revs will be too high, but it's not yet into the power band in 4th.
On the flipside, now I've got a fun car again, I'm much less inclined to drive like a twat in the wagon. This has resulted in 45mpg at 75mph on the motorway, which is pretty sweet.

I drove down to Cornwall to the Eden Project, in the 911, it was much fun.
