Ok so my grand voyager was cramping my style, I didn't want a rangie or ml so I decided on the X5... 4.4 v8!

What a machine! A ton is no effort and so smooth

I only do soft roading rather than off roading nowadays so as long as I can drive across a wet meadow or dry field I'm ok.

 

Now all I need to worry about is the cost of tyres (rears are the same size as on a Ferrari 315/35/20!)

You'd struggle to find a AT tire to fit those big wheels but there are plenty of after market wheels you could get for the X5 that will allow you to fit AT's. As well as under body protection. They are surprisingly good off road if sorted properly. Just need to do a bit of research.

if you can afford the fuel to do a ton in one of those things and then worry about the cost of tyres then you are either overpaid or a posing dick :hmm:

I suppose that makes me a posing dick... I can live with that. But can you live with being a whinging pussy?

good luck mate, I bought a audi Q7 4.2 diesel

everything costs a fortune, it was £400 just to tax it

and I don't miss the trip to the forecourt

kept it 2yrs sold it, lost a fecking fortune on it, never again

bought her a Passat estate 2.0 tdi (just in case I needed to get the dogs in)

and myself an ex postie van £60 to fill it and get 450 miles to a tank

happy days

With that much rubber on the road and that much weight it's no surprise it grips well. Gonna treat it to a tank of super and see how it likes that!

Huge tank though! Reg unleaded was just under £110!

Think of petrol to me as booze/fags is to other people, I bet I still spend less per month on the difference between this and a boring car!

Hmm

 

 

Personally, I could afford a car like this with no issue, but they really strike me as cock extensions, I would rather run 3 cars that do the job they say they will.

 

Piles of shite if I was pushed for an opinion.

 

 

Nobody who is properly into the game turns up in a car like that. Drug dealers motor,

probably driven more moneys worth of motors than you can even think of mate, just have woken up to the fact that no matter how much is spent on it it does the same job of getting you from a to b as any other motor, you just came across to me as a braggin twit who likes to boast, if you take offence at that, then thats your problem, not mine :feck:

I doubt you have driven more money in metal than I can think of, bearing in mind my line of work!

 

If I wanted to brag I would talk about the various Aston matins, Porsches...you name it, I have regular access to, not an x5

Jog on...

Funny also how I can be lambasted for spending 'excessive' money on fuel, perhaps £30/week extra but no one will bat an eye at someone spending the same on beer or fags? Why not just buy cheap tesco value beer, drink enough and it does the same thing, gets you pissed. But a nice tasting more expensive beer is nicer experience, same driving a nicer more expensive (and perhaps thirstier) car, again a nicer experience! Now just to wind up the haters the next tank full will be super unleaded :)
