Along with some of the other "greats" from this board ( too many to mention ) I reckon just about every scenario has been covered and resolved.

I wouldn't have known "how to" do anything without the help and advice of the members on this forum. They are the ones who gave me the confidence to tackle things I would have otherwise paid a mechanic to do.

I have owned 2 BMWs and one XKR. The BMWs were 'better' in that they were superbly engineered, economical (I had a 530d & a 330d, as in diesel), reliable, powerful and comfortable.

They were, however, completely bereft of class, charm, elegance and sophistication. Things the XKR has in bucketfulls.
