Citroen XM Forum

Great day out met loads of new people, It Might be a good idea for everyone to have a CCC Name badge

sorry I missed it but from Wednesday till Saturday I am having my very own three car Citroen XM rally in the Forest of Dean.

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....

Noooooooo! !!! How you do miss people when your having fun.. i don't even recall meeting captinhaddock either thinking about it...

Missed a treat there Paul...lovely dog!

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:



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



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



Few more Xantia's:



More:



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



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



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



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



My BX Digit, aka Project X was in attendance:



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



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



Very nice to see HKY once again:



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



Other Modern Citroens mixing with the old:



My C4 was in attendance too, lowering the tone:



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





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.

That's because you did not want to throw my ball! I tried with each and every one!

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.
