Nope. :o :o :o..........I was expecting "break off to the Merc forum then"  ::) ;D

Its not what I was looking for at all,I wanted a big luxury car with LPG, but I got fed up looking, so when this came up on the bay I had a bid and won it.
Only about 80,000 miles,80 year old driver,just stopped driving etc.Havent actually seen it in the flesh yet but as long as its as described then it should be my daily transport within the next 2 or 3 days. :y
Probably benefit from an "Italian tune up" then ;D :y
Absolutely. :y ;D ;D

liked the bit of the X6 all weeks spinning and Rangie just drives up in the back ground  ;D

The roads on the early part of the VXR clip, what were they? Looked nice, should stretch the beemers legs  8-)

Lady bower res and derwent valley I recon.  Saw the bridge with the towers on.

Not far from me, steady drive early in the morning in less than 30 mons for me.  :y

Bit of a thingy though  clarkson is,he is the one who thinks fords are the best car on the planet :-X,he wouldent know a proper car if it ran him over. ;)

Not sure if he still is but, he was a paid consultant for them


i think you're confusing the long running gag on top gear when JC was waiting to take delivery of his Ford GT so wouldn't say anything bad about Ford - there you go  :y

by the way - what a pile of ?@X!! that X6 is - can't wait to show a neighbour who just got one - hehe - maybe the wifes Legacy can pull him out of trouble  :y
