just had a bit of fun with the X5 on a new bit of land I recently purchased. Anyone local who wants to do a bit of off-roading just let me know :P

I never take my X5 off-road.

I bought an old Frontera to do that for when I go shooting. Couldn't risk putting a round through my dash bad-boys style.

Without seeing the site fully I don't think you're in a position to comment on what is and isn't off roading. Notwithstanding the fact I am actually 'off the road'! ::)

Show some better pics then.

I could have tackled those pics in my leaf!

Had that grass been wet you would have got stuck. The X5 is rubbish off road on standard tyres

Wait until you get to snow....

I certainly do as do 4 others on here, all bought at the same time.

It's a guilt free car to offset my other 3 cars  ;)

A baffling purchase IMO  :blink: you do know electric comes from fossil fuel chugging power stations? I bet the salesman at Nissan didn't tell you that while he was throwing up the peace sign, and putting flowers down gun barrels!! :))

Not at all

If you've seen my signature you will see I have a car for every other occasion.

Leaf was £500 down and £145/mth for top spec (more std toys than most X5s) £30k car that will do c85miles for £2.50

I see, all fascinating information I'm sure....well done all the cars, and the consistent slating of the X5? Probably time to head over to that Leaf forum seen as you no longer own an X5, and it would appear you think they are rubbish! :blink:
