You wait all day and then three at once

Post by Don Coffey » Wed Dec 19, 2012 1:44 pm

In the month since owning the X6 I've only seen two others whilest out and about so consider it to be a rarish beast over here.

But on Sunday, I not only ended up parking next to one at Ikea but here was also another X6 sitting outside the store on leaving?  Maybe I should have encouraged the drivers to come and have a look at our great site.  ::)

Common as muck.  There's a Hamann wide body version floating round town here - but I am the first (and only!) 50d.

Do you ever park in the middle of nowhere at places like Ikea; then come back and find 2 heaps parked either side of you?!?

Yeah, wife said something along those lines too.  Might be time to trade her in. (The car, not the wife......I think!  ::))

They must do it on purpose!  As a rule I park in the parent/child spaces or at the end of the row.

Not sure about leaving the flyers.  I would be more inclined to engage in a conversation and then subtly drop it in.  Too much time on my hands.......I'll have you know there's an art to keeping busy while doing nothing.  :))

So far, but wait until the footballers in your area see it....every WAG for miles will want one :-[
