Welcome to the Forum. :thumbsup:

I'm sure you'll find lots of friendly folks to help out with questions, and probably a load of banter too... :D

Enjoy driving your new toy.. :driving:

Hi

Feel a bit odd welcoming you to a forum I only joined yesterday but just got my X5 too and know the feeling. Good luck and happy motoring

I'm fact AW8 must be due his house warming soon and PVR offered to put a marque in one of his one hundred acres for a post wedding party for me!

[quote=""535dboy""] In fact AW8 must be due his house warming soon............[/quote]

I could probably cobble together a BBQ of sorts but short on sleep/crash space here at the moment.....Conservatory currently used as a shed and spare/guest room seems to have turned into a walk in dressing room of sorts. Even garden resembles an allotment :oops:

Now that sounds more like it .........thumbsup: :popcorn: :drinking:

Ideally you would need to have this cleared anyone delegated as head of security on the night ... ;) Hopefully for you bribery might be accepted if the right peron was ever appointed :)

All hypothetical of course :poke: ;)

I'm quite handy with a 14lb 'doorkey'.......as we used to call them. :guns:

I was more like a 14 stone donkey..........well I before I lost a few pounds ;)

(cue predictable/inevitable donkey reference - perhaps absent of 14 stone reference) :popcorn:

Reckon I might be okay as door security on a good day though :)
