& here's one you don't see everyday! ;D

You’re right. That’s the first time I’ve seen one of those new Grenadier Land Rover things on the road.

The wife and I were coming home from Ipswich today when we caught up to a BMW X5 heading north out of Yarraman, in the overtaking lanes. The BM caught up to a 70 series ute doing it tough up the hill, in the left lane, and INDICATED to overtake. Having completed the overtaking manoeuvre the BM then INDICATED and MOVED BACK into the left lane.
Has anyone seen a recall notification for BMW X5’s with the malfunctioning indicator issue?

Looks like it’s on in Europe😞

I think Vlad wants to go down in history as the Russian/USSR president who didn’t back down from conflict with the West.

The owner of MDC put up the link on the owner's page yesterday. I could be well off the mark here but he is stating that they are not statutory writeoffs and can be registered in any state. I believe the stat writeoff height for a van is water over the floor, so putting 1 and 3 together i'm guessing they may not have gone too far under at all and the insurer has wiped them anyway. Could be worth a squizz for prospective van buyers anyway.

Some had upholstery pulled out, so I’d reckon above floor height.
