Goodbye Q7 hello X6

Post by PeterL » Wed Apr 10, 2013 7:41 am

Well after grinning and bearing the wait since the car has been at the dealer for the past two week and I have been waiting for the detailer to get to her and apply paint protection etc the X6 will be ready for collection tomorrow.  The obligatory photos will be posted ASAP.  Goodbye Q7 hello X6.

That is quite some change, bet you will notice the significantly cheaper running costs and better handling too.

Good luck with the pickup.

As for 535dboy, I bet his bark is worse than his bite ;)

At last!

Congratulations Peter, you must be dead chuffed.  Now to arrange a mini-meet, with all our X6s, with Snipez. :)

The inevitable photo of 3 X6s together will undoubtedly cause an episode of apoplexy in 535dboy!  ;)

No the Q7 is an excellent car but I don't want to do the same car twice in a row.

If you thought the Q was good prepare to be blown away by the X. Better handling and much improved power delivery for a start.
I'm up there at 2pm tomorrow to get my summer wheels back on; will you be there by any chance? Else I will go take some spy shots of your X for the site ;-)
