Greating from a newbie

Hello all!
My name its Nikolay and I am a new member of this forum and not so new fan of Citroen. My first passion starts with a ZX of one my friends (1.4i) maybe 10 year ago. After that I've searched for a good XM but my girlfriend did not like this model ( :lol: ) and we decided to take early years Xantia. That is the reason to have my first Citroen (but Xantia 1.8i '93 was not my dream model). After just a year I've liked one (and bought) another Xantia 2.0i 8v automatic '93 SX and I gave the first one to my father. Very good car and I loved it. Two years after that I fell in love with one great XM 2.1TurboD '94 Exclusive automatic (with filter for passenger compartment - it turned out that it's very rear ). For that time it was quite hard to maintain two cars and the breaking point was when we had to change place of living to another city (from Varna - my home, to Sofia - the capital of the republic). This was the time to sell my dream car and it was a heartbreaking moment. :cry: (I kept the Xantia because she had a SNG system that made it very cheap to run and this was the priority...)
A year later I bought a great Xantia model 2,9i 194hp automatic exclusive estate and sold the old Xantia to my friend (for his father). A couple of months after that I found my dream XM model with my favorite engine ES9j4 but I did not have the money to buy it. I've showed the advert to my friend (that bought my old Xantia) and he bought it for himself :mrgreen: . I was happy with my Xantia but I still wished to have my dream model with ES9j4 engine back. A year after that my friend was changing place of living (from Sofia- to Milano) and he put an advertisement. I bought it from him and sold the Xantia :mrgreen:
After many cars I finally have my dream car with perfect configuration :mrgreen: I still can't believe that it's mine.
I've spent almost 1000E for a sound system and now it sounds great (DLS+Alpine), pure natural sound!

p.s.: this story its pretty much colorful and dramatic but my language its poor and thanks to the auto corrector I believe now it can be read properly.

Hi and welcome. Very nice XM you have there. I love the photos of it in the long grass.
I even think your choice of after market alloy wheels suit the car quite well.

The black and white photo of it gives me some ideas for my own artwork!

Best of luck with it.

Hi Nikolay,
That's a lovely car and the wheels really do suit it well.

I'm sure we've seen this car before in the 2nd picture.
