I was also sorry not to meet and chat with other XM owners that turned up today and the rain definitely did not help. Fortunately it improved later and we managed to get out of the building, although many had disappeared by that time including on the convoy. Hopefully see you next time and I am around tomorrow with better weather forecast! Regards, Matthew T.

Even though the weather was very nice indeed the turnout was poor. Only three XM's, one Xantia, a couple of BX. In fact the DS was more prevalent. If it hadn't been for the considerable number of C6's it would have been more a wake than a meet.

I wish I'd planned to come today, rather than yesterday, especially with that many DS's and a couple of SM's present. There was only one DS there yesterday, and was parked in the field beside their tent. I'm a huge fan of the SM as well.

Well on the positive side, at least the weather improved for you today. Some good pics there Neil. It's never a surprise a DS won best in show!

I thought about going, but I'm putting all my rally effort into the ICCCR this year. If it had been a bit closer I might have, but Citroen rallies always seem to gravitate towards the east side of the country, and Wetherby's a bit far for a day.
