That looks like a lot of money for a near 14 year petrol SUV

And while it has some power, it'll handle like a barge too.

If it's not entirely plated in chrome with Beex blue tyre smoke then I'm not interested.
I thought you'd prefer a Matt finish?
It was the M colours on the grill and the terrible alloys that did it for me.

There's a 4.4 litre version with lower mileage for 3.5k from a private seller but Ruth doesnt like the cream leather seats for some reason.
Our friends* have X5 with cream interior. Looks lovely, especially cream interior. NI plate on it (was cheaper to fly there and drive it back than buy local) so I dunno how old, but suspect 'not very'. She put picked up second set wheels with winter tyres on, too.

* Also have lively quick a3 three litre thing or somesuch
Cream leather interior is Malicool
Attractive and practical? Yes.

Ha! And a pine air freshener.

How much were they asking for gap insurance, out of interest?
Cavey, are you ok?

I'm fine bud just recovering! Fook me...! Too good for me.
Does it play CDs?
Vauxhall are officially selling the Maloo. Oh my. When did that happen?

The front ends all look the same so it's hard to tell. :D
Ha! Cavey, you fucking scrubber.
Nice colour. Also, is that a pension cash in present? A friend of mine has bought a fucking helicopter with his!

He's just retired at 50 so it's a retirement present to himself from his payout (new VC backers so he got out with a shedload of cash)

It's the chap that's sorting out the Palmer Sport day later this month so hopefully I can sit it in it and masturbate have a drive if he brings it.

It's the 570GT. The flash twat.
It's got doors that open like \ this /.
I see Nick Mason slammed his McLaren F1 GTR into the tyre wall at this weekends Goodwood member's meeting. Ouch. Not a write off, but it won't t-cut out.

The ivory coloured plastic on rear view mirror bugs me when I see it from the outside as all the other trim is black. Just seen a video showing how easily they detach, so I guess I'll be doing some more sweet modifications* to it tonight.

And also I'll be hiding my mates mirror next time I'm out in his golf. :D

Did this yesterday with the leftover paint I had from restoring my door pulls.

Turned some heads this morning.
Cannot wait to make my Bozozuko body kit when my 3d printer arrives.

Beautiful.
:belm: I overfilled the petrol can when getting fuel for the mower and a bit spilled in my car. Now the car fucking stinks :spew:

Lucky i don't have far to go for work.
Balls, my alternator belt has just gone ( luckily it's not the timing belt ). They don't make replacing these things easy, do they? Have to take the front half of the car apart to swap out what is basically a big elastic band.
Might be easier if you turn your car over.
:D I will give that a go!
Oil and filter ordered from Opie Oils. (Went for a condo that was just over £40 for free delivery then used a 10% off coupon to get them both for £38 :metul: )

Treated myself to a new sump plug too.
