I thought that was Steve Berry, saw him a couple of times, even visited my stand i think. I thought he was into motorbikes though....

Managed to finish off going through my pictures of the day. As mentioned before, due to spending most of the time chatting I only took 41 pics which is quite unlike me...

Here's a general overview of the field - taken later on in the day so near to the 111 cars that were in attendance overall:

Image

Bit closer up this time, with all but the CXs and a couple of Ds:

Image

The Xantia's were definitely out in force this year - 23 which was the highest of all model's there:

Image

Few more Xantia's:

Image

More:

Image

Darren's V6 was tasty although the wheels divided opinion - (notice the number of wheel nuts...):

Image

Good to see a nice turnout of XMs too (20):

Image

Jim's XM 24v V6, Rob's XM SED, Geoff's latest XM - V6 24v, and Vince's XM 2.1TD?

Image

BXs were out in force too with 20 in attendance, although a bit down on last year's 26:

Image

My BX Digit, aka Project X was in attendance:

Image

Nice selection of CXs were present too (10), but would have liked more:

Image

Jon's Series 1 GTi Turbo that he's restored was looking fab (1st prize winner):

Image

Very nice to see HKY once again:

Image

Some Modern Citroens turned up too, with Mike's Visa and Luke's Vel Satis sneaking in:

Image

Other Modern Citroens mixing with the old:

Image

My C4 was in attendance too, lowering the tone:

Image

Good to get some pics with Peter's very nice C4 VTS 180:

Image

Image

All in all an excellent day all except for there not being enough time - it really did seem to fly by...

Good to see faces old and new, spent most of the day chatting and apologies to those I didn't get around to having a chat with.

Looking forward to other people's photos too.

So project X is a BX Digit. How many are left on the road over here then? That is one rare beast. Lovely condition too. Well done Franklin for saving it.

Unfortunately I have no pics. I brought my camera, but simply didn't get round to taking any. Very good turnout though.

Just this one Russ on the road.

Rumour has it that there is one other in the UK although is in a terrible state of disrepair and just a few over on the continent too...

Thanks - well worth it. :)
