New from Spain!

Post by adrian_tpt » Fri Nov 27, 2009 4:29 am

Hi everyone!
My name is Adrián, and I am writting from Spain (as title says... :) ). I can hardly write in English , but it's "good for my health". :lol: :lol: I'll try.... :geek:

A short time ago that I launched this forum: http://www.clubcitroenxm.com/
Formerly there was no forum in Spanish dedicated to our model :roll: .

In Spain there are not many XM fans... but the few that are, are good. :mrgreen:

I would like to introduce my Xm... This is "Moneca Brava II" (impossible to translate the name :lol: :lol: )

She is a very brave 98' V6 24v :geek:

Welcome to the club!

The vehicle is female, no doubt.
Does the name imply this is your second XM, or do you have another Moneca, a real woman? (You don't have to answer that)
Could the name be translated as 'Wild Moneca, Temperamental Moneca, or Passionate Moneca? ;)

Hi Adrian,

Welcome to the forum. That is one sexy looking XM, a late S2 V6 manual, Robert's right, we'll all be jealous (well, those of us who aren't lucky enough to be Andrew, Jan, or Derek! :lol: )

Hi Adrian; in my case Ciaran is wrong, I am jealous. Not of the manual gearbox - I'm well content with the autoadaptive 4HP20 autobox - but that gorgeous blue colour and the "wobbly web" wheels in place of Jan-Hendrik's Monte Carlo "sausages" :D.

But that whopping great V6 badge on the front wing is a giveaway, I think I prefer the understated "Exclusive" badge. It doesn't give the boy racers any warning of what they're up against :lol:.

My son-in-law asked distainfully what was exclusive about my car. I told him that as there were less than a hundred in the country they were more exclusive than Rollers, Aston Martins and Ferraris.

When they want to give them a ride in it :D Bad thing is that is a bit distant.... but in XM any distance is small ;)

Certainly, is female. We call my girlfriend "Moneca Brava" (when angry is dangerous... :lol:)... Could be translated as "Wild Moneca" 8-)
