Hello to all!
Just thought I'd quickly introduce myself and the reason I'm here. I currently run a CX 2.0 Pallas as an everyday car (after lots of citroens of all shapes and suspensions) but recently I've swapped it (only temporarily mind) for a friends XM phase 1 1/2 turbo auto and I must say, I rather like it!

So I'm probably on the lookout for one to become a permanent resident and to allow the CX to come off the road for bodywork attention.

I hope you don't mind me hanging around for a while!

Regards
Andrew.

Good to have you here, I'm confident you will soon be another addicted XM'er.

Be warned, it's a slippery slope.

Careful with these XM's, they're really quite habit-forming. But then you'll know all about that after the CX.
Look forward to the photos - CX too.

Bear with me on the pics front. Haven't had to use a host for pictures for years and have forgotten all my passwords!
The CX is with Sam Skelton of PC magazine so, no doubt, it will sneak into the mag at some point in the future. It's his XM that I've borrowed for a while.

Andrew,
You can post pics directly here, without using a host site.
Under the new post textbox, click Full Editor, and then Upload Attachment in the box at the bottom.
Straightforward from there on.
