Rads are hoplesly expensive for no reason at all..

Congratulations Jim :D

I knew it wouldn't be long before you found the temptation to own an XM too much 8-)

Looking forward to your blog updates with this one :)

After finding shiply a bit of a failure for finding someone to bring the car here, I tried a site called uship.com.

That came up trumps with an offer of £165 which between here and Scotland is not bad at all.

Spoken to the firm and arrangements are now in hand.

She's on her way :D

They've been good this month Dave. I've just written the September Xantia Files for the Citroenian and could find nothing at all to write about my own cars; touch-wood, the last month of Xantia ownership has been entirely uneventful...

This may of course be famous last words...
