OT: Ford Galaxy Owners Club

Not wanting to sound funny, but, a Ford Galaxy? I would rather set fire to my knackers with petrol & get chewbacca to kick them out.

Not necessarily my first choice either but it is comfortable, drives nicely, allows us to separate the kids, has plenty of room for adults (and/or crap to take to the tip), is in good condition, was a good price, and most importantly the missus likes it! Personally I stick to the 110 - and I'd probably do similar to my knackers if I had to buy a BMW :-).

Would you like a long but probably not exhaustive list of what's gone wrong with our Alhambra (02 reg)?

And be careful about the BMW thing - their bikes are wonderful.

The email address sounds odd, for a ford forum?

some of the forum things take their time about actually sending the validation emails, too, I've known it to take at least 24 hours to actually arrive.

So are their cars, it's the customers that are the problem! BMW bikes are driven by OAPs ;-)

I was only kidding, just forgot the smiley :)

Oi, I know you're younger than me, but I've not quite got to pension age yet.

It must be a Welsh thing - I know 2 more of your countrymen who ride beemers.

Not sure Nige would agree ...

The shaft drive ones certainly used to work off road quite well. Many years ago, I was on the (Then legal) lane from Pont-Rhyd-Y-Groes to Rhayader when I met one going the other way with 2 up. The rider said he often used that and other lanes. It looked like a standard road bike, but with slightly knobbly tyres.

I had a R1200GS & it was s*it, utter s*it. Having said that, i have had four other BMW's & they are cracking bikes.

There speaks a non biker. My 177hp K1200S would scare most riders & probably kill any OAP's

I thought that. Probably due to all this badge engineering going on, you don't know what the hell you're buying today.

Well there may be exceptions but most of the BMW bikes I've seen have a rack on the back for the walking sticks and incontinence pants. The road cars are "Bimmers", the bikes are "Zimmers" :-P
