Hi Everyone

Post by Greydog » Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:48 pm

Hi all,
Just found the site and signed up.
I have a 4.4 Sport X5 that I have owned for about 9 months now and I am really enjoying it. Originally the car was brought to pull a horse box and would get low usage. However the car is LPG converted, shooting is one of my hobbies so last year I took it on a trip to the Grouse Moors. Comfortable, quick reasonably quiet and cheaper on the round trip than a friends 3.0TDV6 Disco. Not only is it one of the cheapest cars I have ever brought it has got to be the best bargain. I have used it almost every day (bang goes low usage) I am still enjoying it and it brings a smile to my face when I fill it up for £40 odd

Welcome grey dog to a great forum where you will find some good advise, (and maybe some advise that's not quite as good  ::) ) banter is a big part of our fun and will be given from time to time, so feel free to join in or even just dish it out unprovoked!  :))

We would like to hear more about your car and some pictures are always appreciated, maybe from one of your shoots?  :camera:

Welcome! The LPG thing has really worked out for you given it's turned into more a daily driver.
