Prima-facie it's too good to break is that one...
Do I spot a BX in the picture and can we therefore assume he's a Citroen enthusiast?

Just checked the BXC Paul. Nobody's flogging a green XM there so...
Looking at the picture I can't help thinking that car has been standing a long time in one spot judging by the moss. Not a good sign - no wonder the brakes are seized on...

Shame, shes an SED with cruise control, and will have all the wood trim on the dash and under the glove box...

Paul, I never thought I'd hear myself saying this but... Get those Xantias of yours shifted in whatever way you can and replace them with XMs.
Gosh, I wish I had some room. I'd be buying up XMs right left and centre...

Get yourself moved to Aber or Mychynchell, and get a place with a field!
Soted then.. Thing is Jim, I cant sell them as they are. They wont get anyhing, and I need some serious cash URGENTLY, I have a few issues needing urgent sorting.
Otherwise I would "Give" them away for what ever I could get..

Brake valve probably sticking on due to storage - I've seen a lot of this moving Xm's
stood for a while INDOORS so outdoors won't make it any easier. Those wheel trims
are very nasty and worth buying the car just to remove from it.
Thing is. Who wants a car covered with peeling lacquer though?

Me me me.. for everything else!!!
S1 stuff is getting thin now. so even if its no good on the outside there's everything else..
I see what your saying though Andrew.. though my v6 sei has now stood out for 4 years but brake not yet seized on..

That's the plan Paul

I shall be starting to do a bit of research to that end in the not too distant... I'm thinking a run down the A470 might throw up some possible contenders...
Aberystwyth is a bit too big and built up for my liking. Somewhere a lot smaller and more isolated is what I'm after... So long as it has a good Internet service and is not far from the sea then that'll do...
I'm really disappointed you can't spell Machynlleth...

Mind you, who can unless you live there. Few can spell it and even fewer can pronounce it, including me - it comes out different every time.
Your place is hard enough to spell as well Paul...

Those of us who like our Activas in Dantes Red perhaps?
