absolutely LOVED it! hard to compare as i'd never driven a large 4x4. its is absolute class though and has that feel of class about it. i'd rather have a sport over an x5!

 

thank you very much....exaclty the same as i thought

still love ya X5

 

Congratulations! Nice car...

 

Nice, I darn't show this to Sam though as she is 4x4 mad. I've been looking at similar, Disco's, Cayenne's etc.

Trouble is as much as i like the x5 one of the nighbours we know has one and it would seem sooo keeping up with the Jones, although their names Jenkins

 

Paul
I bet this is a DAMN sight cheaper than a cayenne or disco!! VERY cheap!

Dunno if i mentioned already but this is for the wife. I'll only get to drive it now and again. The maxo shall remain

 

Chop,
they may drive well and all that but anyone I know with a either a sport or a vogue have had major problems with them.A guy I know who trades lux cars told me "I hate selling them as you know you are going to have it back in a few weeks".
I was going to buy a Vogue before I looked into them proper.

 

Definately, we'd be looking at Ł30k+ for the cayenne

 

Did you forget to put some tyres on when you changed the wheels

 

I was thinking the same Lee...lol
they would last about an hour over here!

 

yup too much imo. they will drop big style surely within the next year or so!

get the bmw and you still have that german "better than everyone else" feeling

 

Gotta say Neil that's look lovely!

If you don't mind me butting in how much did u sell it for?

 

i take it mine is shite then?

 

Don't let that Deperate Housewifes feeling get to your heed!!

 

O stop whingeing you northern ho-bo lol

Your is nice aswell, think you should get the wheels neil has though they look mint!

 

i think they are well smart too!! what are they again Neil??

i think they are 22's?

thought of the price of tyres scares me!

as its the wifes car i reckon im better off not changing as they're gonna get kerbed i think i was nervous parking the car so i know she's gonna kak it!

also on the 19's it feels pretty firm already without lower profile rubber. does it make much difference neil when you put yours on? is yours a sport? mine is and apparently they have firmer suspension?!

 

Like em! One of the very few 4x4's i like! Nice one Chop

 

So if it's a 2001 model, does it qualify for the pre-2001 tax rates?

 

cheers dude

not sure but lpg should change it anyway i hope

anyone know what month in 01 it changes? this is mar i think?
