I had a go in one of these once- the sound of that straight six is very sweet indeed!
Would be on my list if HWMBO didn't want to cement his lifelong love of the Mustang!

Especially when trying to stop and turn around!  :P


I see a large yellow plastic American 'thing' on my journeys in and out of work.  Not sure if it's a Ford or Chevy or Pontiac.  It's just in the way  :))

Not bad at all.

I'd quite fancy taking the X6 along except I don't trust the auto box not to do something unspeakable, or a swirl flap to maliciously fall at a critical moment.

I doubt it would be that quick, but probably not too bad all things considered.

Been a while all.

I do read the threads when I get a chance. I was there on Sunday for the day. I managed a 12.96 which I thought wasn't too bad but need to tweak a few things as just too much wheel spin in 1st/2nd.

Was a good day though and really nice weather.

:( I did not get a chance to attend as an emergency came up so i was left behind  :( but my mates took some pictures and i will be uploading some this week, not sure if they got any vids but i did ask them to take as much pictures of X's possible.

One of my mates reckons it was the best turn out they have had for years.

I also got some pictures from the German meet that happened but only 2 X's, and one was mine, but i left my one out.

Nice pics.

I know a few of those cars and owners. Airride is really taking off on the BMW scene. I personally think it should stay on the Dub scene but that's personal opinion. On the X5 we're all trying got get ride of the air suspension LOL.
