By a great stroke of fortune I will be attending- just a few hours ago this was not even remotely on the cards!
Very excited and hoping someone will be kind enough to take me out in an XM (alas, as yet I have not even been driven in one, let alone drove one)!
There has to be more of a story to the last minute reprieve.
You are quite welcome to a ride in my car. This one I'm quite protective about, but depending on insurance you never know about a drive.
Your Girlfriend is obviously quite shrewd, a BX Gti is quite a mover. I once had a Volvo 440GLT and a colleague a BX Gti. On the way to collect new cars we gave them full beans and he absolutely murdered me...unfortunately the Copper with a speed gun didn't share his appreciation of how quick the BX was.
Yes, the last minute reprieve- well, her mother was coming to stay on the Saturday (cue some minor sulking from me about not being able to go to the meet
) but then her mum decided she wasn't coming to stay after all! Plus prior to all that, there's the fact that I didn't realise that my girlfriend would actually enjoy the idea of going to such an event. Luckily she does!
Any ride in an XM would be great. I would understand being wary of letting people drive your car! I am fully comp though...
I think her Citroenitis has come about by osmosis- she couldn't help seeing the cars I was looking at, really took a shine to the BX, and hey presto- now she owns one! I have warned her that it has to be cared for, more so than a modern car.
I think she may be beoming a petrolhead of sorts.
Of course we will not know anyone when we turn up....we'll hopefully get to know some of you in due course.
