Thanks, FP, for the info about the fees. When I first signed on to the forum (2 years ago) , I was inviited to join, but at that time I was still getting used to owning my XF - and did not want to show my ignorance about the car . I just loved the way it looked and drove. Well, now that I have shown my ignorance over the years, and am able to live with it, I am going to join. I like your reference to 'power in numbers' . Very true
