Am I the only one here who has a huge obsession with shooting brake/estate wagon exotics such as the ones currently rotting in the Sultan of Brunei's collection?

whats brake

the only brake i know is the brakes on a car

Shooting brake is another term for an estate wagon

oh must be an american thing never heard that term

They've used the term "Shooting Brake" on Top Gear before, so it isn't just in the US where it is said. The term really refers to a "2+2 Estate" as they said on Top Gear. Cars that would fall into this category would be the Bentley Flying Star, BMW Z3M Coupe, Volvo P1800ES and the Ferrari FF. They are not really classified as hatchbacks due to the fact that they are lower and sleeker. I like them, but they are rare and typically a hit or miss with the designs.


An "estate wagon" is really just saying the same thing, as "estate" is just another word for "wagon" or "station wagon."

I know its not exotic but I just passed a BMW 530xi estate, it was pretty cool. Ive never seen one before

Basically like saying "Convertible Spyder" or something.

I love estate's, i'd take one over a normal sedan any day of the week.

I love the 456 shooting brake. I'd take one of them over the FD

Winner.

Now this, I really love this.

This is the key....

I actually really want my dad to get that, sadly he doesn't want to.

You guys will probably be calling me Captain Slow after I show you the one I want:
