I,ve read that about the E70 gearbox,been advised to put any prospective purchase on full lock at walking pace,any jerkiness/lurching walk away, Also not a lover of sunroofs so thats also on my avoid list. I,m not in any rush so doing plenty of reading up on all 3 makes.

^^^^ I think you,ve hit the nail on the head,i,m currently looking at E70 X5s,Audi Q7s and Range Rovers not particularly because i need one just that i fancy one but there are a lot of polished turds out there with partial or no history,blinged up wheels and mis-matched cheap tyres, To be fair the Volvo XC70 has done its job pretty well this last 2yrs i just fancy a change.

Case of mistaken identity then,the one i saw was caged n stickered up as if it saw regular track use,probably heading to Oulton Park as i also saw a few cars on trailers heading same way on the same day.

Welcome to the forum Humour, You weren,t in the traffic on the A41 at Tern Hill on Friday afternoon were you,i saw a very similar E36 to yours queing for the roundabout and subsequent roadworks.

A lot of money,but a lot of car in those two of yours Kevin.

Wishing all members a Happy Christmas and a better New Year, For once i will not be trucking to all points of the compass around the UK over Christmas helping to feed the nation i will be at home as of this Saturday enjoying a well earned Christmas break, Cheers to everyone,enjoy.

Tried it Kevin,nearest one to us at the minute is Cannock, Doesn,t matter now Donnas managed get us both a booking for next Tuesday at a pharmacy across the city.

Sorry i didn,t make it plain in my post but i,ve been trying to book a booster since i got an NHS txt to say i was now eligible over a week ago,as i type this i,ve just received another txt to remind me i,m due my booster.

Tried to book an appointment for the wife and i to get a booster,after an hour and half of going round in circles on gov.uk been asked the same questions re name,DOB,postcode i gave up,the gov have brought forward the timeline for everyone to get boosted yet gov.uk link to booster appointments is not fit for purpose, I wear a mask as and when required mainly because i travel all over the UK in my job,i,ve had the jabs because one day i hope to holiday in the Carribean again.

Welcome Andy plenty of folks on here to help with any queries you may have.

Welcome to the Forum Scott.

Great pics,it looks lovely does that.

Really enjoyed watching your progress Mick,you,ve done an excellent job by the looks of things,only wish i had half your capabilities,we had to pay a landscaper to do ours as i,m a bit rubbish at DIY.

Welcome to the Forum Pete.

You could be right Dave,when i worked for Colemans a lot of our work was out of Bullivants,used to see a very near identical car at Bullivants but never got to seek out the owner.
