Erm... hello all

Post by Franknstein » Fri Sep 28, 2012 10:39 am

Hi all

Just want to introduce myself. I'm Ryan, 31 years old (yesterday) and just bought the car below less than a week ago, 2005 3.0d Sport X5. I live in Hertfordshire. Pics below of my son and my car.
Love the car so far, but having some electrical gremlins!

Welcome. :D

Your son may have trouble with the pedals if the seat is that far back..... :P

Yeah, they seem to work quite nicely. Have not yet shown my son that they are tv's... once he knows it plays dvd's that will be the first thing he will ask every time he gets in the car! All he watches is Cars 1 and 2. So it'll be 'Cars, Cars, Cars' everytime I put him in the car-seat!

Nice indeed.

That pic of your son behind the car does show the risk of reversing when children are about, no hope of seeing him!

I have the same fear when Sanj is about  :))

Absolutely, no way intended as serious. I'll still nut him one tho!  :))

PVR and I have a love hate relationship and he's a gentleman.
