I Dont Beleive it ...

It's a Pink Mohecan, stuck on to Sylv's lid (so we don't get them mixed up when on the bike/TD's).

Only active X forum I know is roadfly, which is very US based, with UK content too hard to search out.  Lots of trolls etc. too always looking for windups.

FWIW, I didn't take offence (never do really), I'd just rather pop out for a blast and let people see for themselves, rather than think that owning a particular car makes you like this, that or the other.  BrynT has also popped out for a couple of blasts with me, so I know there's another happy X3 owner in Yorkshire too!

Took the Z3 to Cadwell BDD last year and loved it - absolutely fabulous and easier now they've re-modelled the Gooseneck.  Wifey also had a few laps and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Here's a few pics from Simon Taylor @ www.phooto.co.uk

Edited to say that the pics are from Croft BDD, July 04

.... but it is pretty quiet on the X board isn't

stu

only the bikes bite back

cadwell in 53 s       

good show me lord ..with only two left handers on the club .[isnt the goose neck good fun]thats good going on [i think] on a stock gsxr..

iam only fishing you know .lol

see you at the meet  cadwell is brill .but not for cars..why peaple race them there i dont know ...

its too narrow for car racing

Wow, what a lot of noise.

Happy to pop out for a blast, or whatever with you guys at some point to show you we're not all to$$ers with X's, just so's happens its actually not a bad car, in spite of who may be perceived as the general type of owner.

BTW, I asked for an X forum since I had an X3 and was 'enthusiastic', just to see if all our prejudices were wrong and perhaps there'd be a few like minded drivers who need a car that tows a horse box one day, then spanks an MR2/205GTI 1.9 etc on the twisties the next.

Oh, I've been to Rockingham too and it isn't too bad in the mud either.

BTW, I also have a supercharged Z3 which isn't too slow for a 'hairdressers car', a 320td compact, which isn't bad for a 'taxi', a GSXR750 which laps Cadwell club circuit in 53 seconds which ins't bad for a 'taxi driving hairdresser'...... and an X3, shame on me and put my income tax up to 50% right now please Mr Brown!!

Welcome to our planet?  Live and let live eh?

You thought you were joking....oh no.....it exists....

It is the MX5 by Thorney Motorsport, a very well known performance car tuner who specialise in M cars.  This one has the Milltek plate because it is sporting their race exhaust system (and it sounds superb).

They only realised what the addition of the M made it look like once they'd finished it! 

 

Motorsport version??! Surely that is an oxymoron, a bit like a performance Reliant Robin? What would be the point of driving around in a 7 foot high vehicle with stiff sports suspension, alloys and low profile tyres? My dislike for these vehicles is absolute. If you live in the middle of nowhere and need to scale several moors on your way to work, then by all means buy an off roader. However, if you live in the middle of a city as most of them seem to do, and the furtherest off road it will ever go is with two wheels on the kerb outside school when picking up the darling children, then please buy a hatchback more suited to the task! I am almost killed every evening on my way home as a lady in yet another Range Rover fails to spot my Chevette over her enormous bonnet. The school beside my flat is awash every evening with Rangies, X5's, Volvo XC90's and so on. There should be a special tax for people who drive these pointless vehicles in the city. Growl. [/rant]

Early Range rover - Yes!

Latest Range Rover - No no no. (plagued with problems)

I like the styling of them tho ... but could never see myself in one. The Blinding xenons need sorting out, god knows how they pass the MOT TUV regulations.

Hi,

Ive just bought a new X5

Can someone please tell me where I would find the special storage box, the one that is specifically designed for Prada shoes?

This is really hindering my drving experience, Im off for a boob job in the morning and was hoping to have it sorted before then.

Thanks in advance
