Another QUAD.

Hey guys, I took my 540 in to have some warranty work done and they wanted to show a client it because they all talk about how great the paint work looks.

Anyway, they wanted the car over the weekend and were going to perform the work all day Monday and will probably be ready to pick it up again on Tuesday.

So they give me a 4.4 Quad piped X5 for the weekend.

Now I've never been a 4 x 4 man but this thing is pleasant to drive.

One thing I noticed was that people don't respect its power like my 540. When I'm in the 540 and come up behind someone in the Fast lane, they immediately move over to the slow lane.

When I come up behind them in the X5, they just sit there.

Even when the slow lane is empty. They look in the mirror, and think, its just a slow 4 x 4 and it won't want to pass. So I pull into the slow lane, and so they put there foot down. So I nail it.

You should see the look of Horror on their face when they get smoked by a Fourby. It is one of total disbelief. This has happened 5 times in two days so far.

Talk about a sleeper. One thing I will say is that the interior finish inside is superb. Very comfortable. After the Beast gets here, I may consider swapping the 540 for the X5.

P.S. It has 285/45/19 on the rear.:eek:
