X5Sport dropped it through the ice !!

Post by MJim » Tue Dec 11, 2012 5:50 pm

A real shame X5Sport did this, and those wheelbarrow handles probably won't be much use submerged like that.  Hope you get it all shipshape soon.  >:D  ;)

Well in theory it should have been alright, but it had skinny tyres.  Would have been fine with the Summer set on.......better weight 'footprint'. :ras: :ras: :ras: :spell:


.....and pvr was complaining that it needed a wash, so....... :-[

I think you just had forgotten the amount of extra weight Mrs X5Sport is carrying about :)

If that was me, I'd be a little more proactive at getting the car pulled out before the rest goes.  :-[
