Hi

Feel a bit odd welcoming you to a forum I only joined yesterday but just got my X5 too and know the feeling. Good luck and happy motoring

Come to the next sussex one. They don't happen often but good when they do as long as you can't be easily offended!

I could probably cobble together a BBQ of sorts but short on sleep/crash space here at the moment.....Conservatory currently used as a shed and spare/guest room seems to have turned into a walk in dressing room of sorts. Even garden resembles an allotment :oops:

Now that sounds more like it .........thumbsup: :popcorn: :drinking:

Ideally you would need to have this cleared anyone delegated as head of security on the night ... ;) Hopefully for you bribery might be accepted if the right peron was ever appointed :)

All hypothetical of course :poke: ;)

I'm quite handy with a 14lb 'doorkey'.......as we used to call them. :guns:

Knock, knock!! :police: 8)

I was more like a 14 stone donkey..........well I before I lost a few pounds ;)

(cue predictable/inevitable donkey reference - perhaps absent of 14 stone reference) :popcorn:

Reckon I might be okay as door security on a good day though :)
