rescuing an XM - now with pics

The place to show off and tell us all about your XMs (or even other cars). Should it be a big project, or just some general pics, start your thread in here.

I really like the Xm estates, or maybe I like mine so much because it has a 2.5 lump in it! I have to say the 2.5 has me converted over. The 2.1 is a snail in comparison!
the BX has to go though, but it seems I bought both a car and a house today having had two sales fall through and one offer declined as 4k too low on another house.

What will I fill the 34ftx12ft heated garage with? Never had a garage with up and over doors at either end either! If all goes well, we'll move in in September.

ouch! :o

What's worse is the S2 VSX has a fuel consumption reading! :-(
As does my TCT on LPG ... the lowest I have seen is 19mpg so far, that was mostly town driving though. It seems to average about 23-26 on LPG with my average driving conditions. I can get LPG for 65.9p a litre around here, so half what petrol is here, it makes it similar to a diesel version really. Costs me about £30 to fill the 40 litre tank which takes me about 210-220 miles.

That garage sounds very nice, almost exactly the same proportions to ours, which also has opening doors on both ends. Its a risky thing that though, you will soon have many more cars than you hoped for! :lol:
