XM Estate in Mandarin (I think) heading south at around 4pm today - I was heading north in my XM. I was so shocked at seeing another XM on the road that I was almost too late returning the driver's wave!

I bet it wasn't a series 1, so it would be Magenta, not Mandarin.


I "think" it's good he gave you a wave...years ago a friend with a Reliant Rialto Supervan used to get waves from other Reliant owners...He used to flick the V sign in return... :lol:

The M5 was the place for XMs yesterday then!
Most Fridays and Sundays I'm on it now.

Saw this car again last Sunday, this time it was heading north towards Bath from Warminster. No wave this time, but then I was driving a Merc. car transporter with a CX on the back!
