Peter, Im going there now to have a look, but how does that work for Taxing a car???

[robert_e_smart]

I have some of mine on a classic policy. Only cars that are not on Sorn need insurance. The Xantia isn't an eligible classic car for classic car insurance purposes, yet the ZX is! Later Xms can be covered on my policy, but there is a big hike in premium the younger they get.

Paul, if you are bored, don't forget that the Citroenian needs YOU!! You must have some more XM stories up your sleeve, or a car you want to tell us about!

Ah ha see Mark One XM's.. Perfect for classic.

The 24v Manual 200 bhp BEAST is insured on classic for 20 a month! Which I think for what she is, AMAZING VALUE! No NO Claims needed or built either, Limited miles.

I wonder what the SED would come down to!

1980 CX Athena
1990 XM 2.1 Turbo SD
1991 BX 16 TGS Auto
1992 ZX 1.6 Auto Aura

I have the above on a classic policy, 5K miles for the policy to be divided up over them. Its around £220 a year.

Paul, going on how much you're posting you must be feeling a lot better today

[citroenxm]

Im just sitting BOARD on the sofa, waiting for God.... and replies to answer...

[CitroJim]

Im just sitting BOARD on the sofa

You ARE much better then

Right, tomorrow you go over the Menai bridge and get spannering on an XM... That will do your recuperation no end of good

Seriously, when I started to feel like that I knew I was on the mend...

220 pounds a year for that lot, it is not fair.

Anyway, as xantia drivers among us, do you all hate that bloody windscreenwashersystem or not Mine, I have had to fix so many times. The plastic hose gets brittle and had got broken many times. Many hoses later it broke again recently and I couldn't get at it, without dismantling the right wing. I fixed it again with putting a smaller pipe inside, coming from my old welding machine. Whatever you call it that leads the gas wire. It's working again, for now. Not great, but good enough. I will have to remind myself, never to open the bonnet again, ever!

I think I am going to buy myself a derelict address with a postbox in the North, it would pay for all those taxes and insurances!

All that it is not, is awaiting for the Dots to scab on.. which they are starting to do..

My head is itching MAD and I know I cant touch it! So they are starting to heal slowly..
