Green R-reg saloon on the A5 near Capel Curig

Post by eifion » Wed Aug 03, 2011 6:57 pm

I saw another XM in the wild for the first time in ages today, a dark green R (I think) reg saloon heading up the A5 towards Bethesda at about 5.45pm. About twenty minutes later near Betws-y-Coed there was apparently another XM and a C6 a few cars behind my DS (so I was told by a friend who'd be heading the other way and seen us all). A shame there wasn't a CX among us, too, to complete the set.

So you were the guy in the black DS!
Lovely looking one it was too, swooping around that beautiful countryside.

That would have been me on holiday with a few mates. I saw that C6, either a 56 or 57 plate (if you're reading this citroenxm, don't laugh!!) a few times through the week, last time was today parked up in Bangor when we went to demolish a breakfast in Wetherspoons. Unfortunately that will probably be the last sighting of my XM in Wales for this year as we made our way back today.
