temptation

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Oh yeah, of course. Just a look, with the eyes not the wallet.

Men don't go shopping to just look though do we?

:) You could of course find something totally different to do tomorrow, like do some new plumbing in the bathroom? Testing your XM's spheres or.....

To scandalously misquote Oscar Wilde: "The only thing I can't resist is temptation.....'!

Good CXs are getting rare and the prices are firming up (unlike XMs!!)

I loved my CX, it was just a bit short on legroom for my lanky legs :( The XM is much better :)

While the photos don't tell too much she does look nice and with even a modicum of TLC will be a solid investment that you can also enjoy!

Hi Dean, I didn't see a CX in the link but I'm guessing it is Richard Whittaker's old one before he recently passed away (?) If you do manage to pick up this CX I have a pair of front seats that I was about to send to Richard before his contact broke off.

Unfortunately it was Richards car yes.

I did not attend in the end due to work commitments, I will keep an eye out for his car though.

Loss of another great man. While I was writing the CX column Richard was one of the few remaining enthusiastic correspondants to write in so often. Sadly missed.

I know of him but never stopped to speak, i would often see him parked up in his CX taking in the views at one of our beauty spots over here but didnt have the time to stop, besides it always seemed rude to disturb a man enjoying a bit of quiet lunch.

RIP sir.
