There's nothing I like more than being late for something, anything, in an XM.

Squealing tyres yet supreme comfort and handling as you slam that lethiathan barge across roundabouts and bends, can't beat it, its like driving your living room around a track at ludicrious speed. I love the smell of XMs being hammered down country lanes in the morning.

Gentlemen, we drive the best cars in the world :D

I think mine would fall apart if I drove it like that - I certainly wouldn't get 50 mpg :D

I've just got back from Doncaster in the pouring rain. I think I would have given this driver a good run for their money...

I think my car went well considering it had a gas cylinder and about 100Kg of other steel in the boot. More to be revealed later.. ;)
