Citroen's 90th

Post by robert_e_smart » Tue Oct 13, 2009 4:06 pm

Afternoon chaps,

Our local Citroen dealer had a small event to celebrate the Citroen 90th anniversary. They were looking some cars to attend, so who could refuse free fuel and food! So I brought the CX and the Series 1 Xm, the Turbo XM was put in the showroom of another dealer beside their C6.

Here are the results

Hi Robert

Your trying to tell me a dealer wanted to put an XM in the showroom next to a C6 when they have spent 20 years trying to do the exact opposit :shock: if it wasnt for the Photo's i wouldnt of believed it :roll:
That white one is a smashing good looking car though, even if you havnt got round to fitting the other wing badge yet :lol:

So you are saying this Citroen Dealer acknowledges the existence of Citroen cars prior to 2004 :shock: :? :?:

Have I been asleep a long time and it is 1st April?

I know what it is, you have been playing with photoshop :lol:

It does look good in the showroom... Did anyone try to buy it?

It must be good to own cars that are soo tidy AS YOURS ARE ROBERT that they can be shown on display at a dealer!!

The G reg S1 is AMAZING! I still cant get over the low miles and how clean it is! Nice work Robert!

Thanks for the compliments, I must be lucky to have bought good examples. A lot of this will be due to their previous owners as well! I can look after them good quite easily as well, I am the only one driving them, they never go to Tescos or anything like that, I am the only one in them too which helps a lot. Plus I am too fussy some times for my own good. Children are not allowed in my cars either (helps when I don't have any).
