What is at Raj's... does he have a garage or a restaurant or some thing.
The ace 50's Diner at Swadlingcote on the M42 sounds like a good area & central for most... especially if some people have to travel a bit.... so it would be good to find a location that we could take a long afternoon at.
I will contact the diner & see if they have any objections to doing some extra trade.. :blink:
I've read that Raj is a font of knowledge for these machines, & worth listening to, so maybe get some input from him also ?

I looked up this diner, it looks great - but is not on the M42. Its on John Street, Church Gresley, which is not too far from the M42 and Swadlincote, probably only a few minutes off the motorway.

Re: 2017 X5 Meetup Potential
Hi Glen,
Not had a moment spare, but I will call the diner tomorrow/Saturday April 29th & see when is a good time & if they are happy having 20 X5s roll up in one go.
Re a previous post... re not knowing anybody here... me too.
It will be good to meet some of the names here, & one thing for sure is that the members all seem a decent bunch & keen to share / learn new things about these machines.
AND
it would be fab to see how others have solved some of the endlessly annoying things that go wrong with these X5 vehicles.
