    I went for the 3.0d sport with full service history, ive read about the gearbox problems that some people have had with the X5's but it is actualy a rare problem when you take into account how many are out there

    I've been into my car racing, building cars, watching racing, going to watch WRC etc.... for years. bike are still new to me as I've only been riding for 5 years.

    I'm a huge car fan, but bikes are cheaper more fun and as I said prefer riding. so i'm a car and bike man then :)

    Jimbo, if I had the money I would have a few sports cars. But anything i'm looking at just costs too much. But I would buy them after having a few more bikes in the garage. one for track one for raod . Might be kidding myself but enjoy both.

    Mate, pulling ya leg!! Grew up with my dad building kits etc..

    Totally agree, I'd love a sports car, but don't have the spare cash to spunk on it... As good as one would be it'd never be as good as the bikes. Unless I has big money to spend on a car, I'm not bothered!

    That said, my mum had a brabus merc, 450 bhp supercharged, that was pretty sweet! Lol

    Ha ha, yeah, fair play to her she used to give it some beans too! It was awesome, she never used it and insured me on it, prob why I never bought a car! Ha ha until some scum broke in her house and nicked the keys! Can't have anything nice these days!

    Dad built a couple sylva strikers and a fury... Best was a striker with a 2.0 twincam abath lump in it. Cool a fuck!
