Already overworked....but I got the pleasure of driving an XM back home this morning. Nobody on the roads, CD player on max to keep me awake..

Wishing you all many happy miles in XM and don't forget, XM's are made to drive. They even do this in a typical way sometimes, hanging strangely to the left with undoubtedly, black LHM...:)

and even overtake sometimes with illegal speeds which I of course do NOT recommend! :? Just go to France and it will happen as it happened to me in 2 days..I took these pictures for you all, my girl didn't understand me taking them...however indirectly she might need all the help you can give, one day ;)

I've never really understood how that happens, because surely as the spheres lose pressure on the drivers side the fluid fills the space. With hydraulics each ram sees equal pressure.

Happy New Year Jaap, and everyone else too.

great pics....maybe the driver of the Silver XM had one to many mince pies!!!!
French silver on black number plates are so cool.

I think that the photo may have been missinterpreted.
It is the lorry and its back end that has the odd angle not the XM.
If you put a straight edge across the people carrier and the XM are in the same plane.
Then there is the effect of camera lens accuracy as you progress from centre line.

no John, this XM was really. very strangely, having a left 'hang over' but it nevertheless cruised along happily but, as French don't, refused to wave. Everybody does wave no matter what car in the West of Ireland, but I being happy and on holidays, did. I hope it got home...bet it did! I watched her 'glide' (NOT) for a while..
