One helluva commute...

...he drives from Holiday Inn at Milton Keynes, past Amazonian
forests and waterfalls, through Icelandic ice fields and geysers
to end up in his house at the end of a Norwegian fjord with his
flowers in hand!

Not so much because the Lady loves Milk Tray, but all because
the Fella loves driving his 24v v6 Xm!! Wonder whether he may
have got the flowers at the last petrol station as a sweetner
after driving round the world the past 80 days! :D

The idiot's only gone and left the lights on! Now where's he going to get a jumpstart out
in the wilds just left of the last volcano just a bit beyond the glacier in the morning?

Maybe he's not too worried after charming the lady of the house? ;)
Either that or he get's paid petrol expenses to deliver boquets in his v6 24v!! :lol:

What about this one for the 'Break' owners ?
Or if your a bit of artist ? (And I don't mean the usual ones, as I'm sure there's no shortage of of those) :D
Also it should be all okay with Andrew as it has a 'Teaspoon' to stir the Tea as opposed to a 'T-bar' to select the gears :lol:
Also I'd love to have a bonnet with that colour/changing Mural on my XM's ;)
An XM if for life, (Not just for Christmas) !

It might be a V6 but it's still the usual green :lol:

TBH I kept waiting expecting to see one of the kids disappear through the windscreen and then Jimmy Saville appear and say clunk-click every trip! :lol:
