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

Those seats look superb, brighten the whole car up soo much.
The Germans break a lot more cars than the French do, but their postage rates are incredibly expensive.

If I had to have a leather interior in an Xm I think it'd be better being cream than the sombre black.
IIRC, Zaphod on the old forum couldn't sell his Exclusive with a £250 cream leather interior and ended
up ebaying the lot for a loss. I was sorely tempted at the time too.

Another cream leather interior with a €260 pricetag and it does look rather nice in the sun!
Holiday to Bonn without any luggage in your Xm? That or take some old duff seats to leave there when
you pick up the new interior!!

Normally they are very cheap. I purchased a differential from Germany and the carriage fees were less than from England.
Most German sellers will send to the UK if requested, they just put to Germany only so as to not have to send to 'well dodgy' countries.

Now this is about buying parts from German sellers - in Germany. The topic name won't give that away
Spreken - Dutch verb; speak, talk.
sie - they; she/
Sie - you (polite).
Deutch - no such word in the dictionary; should be
Deutsch.
Anyway, this post name gets the attention, right

I knew a fluent German speaker or suchlike would tear me down a strip of two as my non existant German has
holes picked in it! Somehow "do you speak German" as an alternate corrected title doesn't work for me either.
I was aware of the fact it was bumblingly incorrect and IIRC the phrase was quoted from an old film - something
like "The Longest Day".
It is not my intention to offend or appear anti German so if it anyone has issue with the title I will happily correct it.
I do think very carefully about everything I type and check whether I am fully prepared to stand by what I say when
anything is put under close scrutiny and in this instance believed it was almost correct which added to the irony of the
question posed!
Straight laced it is all the way then.
