I now have a chance to make a more detailed post and what a great weekend!! It was disappointing not to see John M, Dean, Jim and Mark, who are I think were all expected, but many of the regular crowd did attend and some friendly newcomers as well. Unfortunately like Paul I also did not manage to catch Tim, who deserves an especial thanks for his share of the arrangements
As expected Sunday was the busier day with better weather, although numbers on Saturday were still quite respectable and it was dry but overcast. I counted around 22 XMs at the peak on Sunday pm and we had a good variety of models including several early cars and in fact three of the four oldest rhd known. Some highlights for me were the other two PRV V6 12v present and of course seeing Paul's 24v which has been mentioned elsewhere, while both Will and James W tested my car and seemed quite impressed.
The venue although a little far from us in Norfolk was otherwise accessible being close to the M45 and M6 and the RAF Museum was a huge attraction itself. As it happened I did not stray far from the car park since I found plenty of interest through conversations and cars moving in and out. I also appreciated the kind words about my cake that seemed to taste okay despite being a first and I was just sorry that the decoration lost the original crispness! A photo of the finished article is attached for reassurance and those who did not attend.
I would be more than pleased to help arrange such an event again either within the CCC or as an independent affair and I think we marked the anniversary well. Happy Birthday Citroen XM and here's to the next 25 years!!
With regards,
Matthew T.
