Touching Base!

Post by X5 ROAD KING »

Hi, I'm from Swindon and the name is Steve.

I own an X5, affectionately known as Goliath. I've owned 3 and 5's before, but nothing clears the road infront of you quicker than an X5. With 2 tonnes of BMW steel bearing down on you, wouldn't you get out of the way?

Being a man's man I don't own one of the Z series of motor cars, but I'm currently on the lookout for one for the little lady for her part time mobile dog grooming business. I'm hoping to be able to use the knowledge base here to help me find the right roadster for her.

Can anyone help Road King?

Don't think I can. :wink:

Didn't know that dogs could use t'internet either :shock: but there's a few dodgy geezers who've got PC's in their cars.

Why not get the little lady a white van and you can drive that as well. :lol:

There at least one Z3 for sale on the forum at the moment.
Don't know anything about Dogs using PCs in Zeds though.
