If I owned a VX i'd do the same, 300 miles in an Ibiza isnt pretty, but in the VX...... Well

Not true mate.
Very easy going on long trips is the vx, cruises lovely at 70, and you return 35mpg+
Trouble is that I dont do motorways in it (shite rear visability) and i prefer A & B roads in it anyway.
My problem is driving more that 3 hours in ANY car. I get to the destination and im sooo fckued I want to go to sleep

Ah ok, my bad. Just assumed it'd be uncomfortable or something.
35mpg isnt bad either, I get upto 40mpg on motorways in the Ibiza.

I dont think they would let me on a train or plane with 250kgs of stuff, imagine the excess baggage!
