Citroen XM Forum

Hope all have a fabulous time. Sorry that I can't make an appearance - one of my dogs cannot be left alone (without him destroying something and/or hurting himself) if there's fireworks going on. And there have been every night now, for the last week... (sigh)

We are all really enjoying the weekend despite the weather being a bit grey, more than compensated for by the warmth of hospitality from Ray and his family. There is a good attendance of XM and other Citroën friends. We are now about to arrive in Blackpool and here are some photos from earlier today. Regards, Matthew T.

Lol.. where?

Sorry folks but for some reason the photos will not upload! Regards. Matthew T.

I think it’s fair to say that my Citroen CXM was a great success!

I would say more than successful Ray, it has been brilliant and we are not finished yet!! Hopefully we will see a few more of the clan during today and the weather is also glorious! With regards, Matthew T.

Good to hear it's going well Ray, well done.

Appologies for not being able to come up.

I would just like to say a great big thank you to everyone for a fantastic weekend! I’m still a bit shell shocked that our very own Ciaran came all the way just to shake my hand and give me a ride in his wonderful C6, Ciaran it was an absolute pleasure to meet, you are a true gentleman. also thanks to Renault760 who drive down from Durham and slept in his van overnight! Matthew it was a pleasure hosting you and thank you for trying to take as many bits as you could, I am sorry to say you hardly made a dent in my collection and now I’m left wondering what to do with everything that’s left, I tried my hardest I’m sure you’ll agree!
I am most certainly NOT having a dig at those that didn’t come, I understand people have other commitments and the distance etc is an issue. I do not have the independence to package and send bits through the post. I can’t even put my own socks on there was no hard selling, however I am completely gobsmacked at the generosity of kind people and my honesty box, it was NEVER about making money, although I will say I think I broke even with the considerable expense I forked out for this weekend and for that I am extremely grateful.

Fingers crossed I get to see you at some of the shows next year. Once again, thank you.

Ray

Well done Ray, I'm glad it was a successful weekend. Sorry again I couldn't make it.

It was a fantastic weekend and many, many thanks again Ray for organizing the event, for the exceptional hospitality and of course the spare parts, which will certainly come in useful. I really enjoyed meeting faces old and new including Ray's family and local friends and the trip to Blackpool was very special. There was even a workshop demonstration by Paul (Citroen XM) showing his prowess at strut top replacement! I was so sorry to miss the Southport visit, but unfortunately had a 250 mile trip back to Norfolk! The Scotland 24v preformed faultlessly over the weekend and I clocked up nearly 600 miles overall. Here are a few of my photos now. With regards, Matthew T.
