Philibusmo's a member here too!

There's nothing wrong with the website name - Citroen XMs are well into autosh*te territory!

There are a few of us XMers on that website.

Hey, is this not the XM that had changed multiple hands round about last summer? I think Charles had bought it too? I had been wondering of its whereabouts, it dissapeared... for a while!

Hi George, N310 BDP 'tis the one !

Here's the MAIN thread as it did the rounds plus THIS one too !

It just goes to show 'What can lie beneath' on what looked like a reasonably well maintained vehicle until the botched areas are revealed after a thorough MOT was been carried out on it :o

Why oh why do folk bodge things like the /\ instead of doing a proper job, if they haven't got the skills/equipment to DIY they can always pay a garage to do it (I suppose that's the main problem £'s) some folks will bodge things up and then move the problem on to someone else :evil:

But at least it landed this time in the hands of a owner with excellent welding skills as it may have has a different fate awaiting for it otherwise ?

Good luck Philibusmo with getting it welded up/MOT'd and hopefully back on the road soon !

Hadn't been aware of the existence of this forum. The contents of the thread go way beyond XM 2.1 Rust :)
Fun to read, if you have the time, and somewhat comical now and then :lol:

the rust is the updated part - many threads are long and blog like and are of the history of a car in someone's ownership - the thread title is often updated to show a change or progress.


... it's a forgotten part of the internet and those of us who inhabit it prefer it that way ...
