Aww bless. We said good bye to our four legged friend last week. Awful times but eleven magical years. I wish her many.

Brilliant - a tiny little Staff and you get a X5 Laughing My sister carts hers around in a 2 seater SLK Shocked

Anyway - I'm with you on this. X5 looks cracking, and if the dog was an excuse to buy it, then it was a bloody good excuse.

She wants a Z4M Nick. Saves me a fortune Laughing

Your right about being a matter of time though. I feel I've done the fast and furious thing, Once I drove the x5 I realised how much I missed the comfort.
