Citroen XM Forum

Just in case anyone, especially Paul (citroenxm!), was wondering... I'm still here but not well I'm in a very bad place at the moment but slowly recovering...

Paul was the last person to see me alive as it were as we enjoyed a very pleasant meal and a natter on Thursday during my epic tour of Wales to deliver Paul some wheels and bring my daughter home from uni.

I can currently read posts but making sense of them and making any sensible reply is another thing entirely. I'll be back when I've recovered a bit more...

Sorry to hear that Jim. I was wondering about you, not seeing your regular posts. Hope you feel better very soon.

Wishing you well too. Get well soon. Wish you all the best!

Take care Jim

Mrs MO has ME too - Jim it may also be worth asking for a thyroid check too!

Really sorry to hear you have been through another bad patch Jim and hope things improve in the near future! Best regards, Matthew T.

Hi Jim,

It WAS a brill evening, I was concerned though of course. Im glad to see you have posted up, was wondering!

Cheers..

Hi Jim

All the best for a quick recovery.

John

Hi Jim,
Wishing you a speedy recovery and not forgetting a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Regards,
Norman

Thanks all for your good wishes I'm starting to improve and feel a bit brighter today

All been done Campbell. I expect just like Mrs. MO I've had every test going and all come back normal

Shame really as it promised to be a great road trip...

After seeing Paul and enjoying an excellent evening I stayed the night in a Premier Inn in Llandudno and then early next morning I made my way down to Aberystwyth along the A470 mountain road through Betws-y-coed, Blaenu Ffestiniog, Dolgellau and Machynlleth. It's a beautiful road but such a difficult drive when you're not good. I had a sort of frightening 'detached' feeling and had to concentrate really hard on the drive. I was exhausted when I reached Robyn's place in Aber and needed to rest up. We then drove home and I immediately then just crumpled up and flaked out. I'm just now starting to emerge from what is termed a 'crash'. To be honest I was lucky not to crash the car it was that bad

What really worried me was I must have not been driving very fast as I always seemed to have a frustrated car or van right on my tail. Scary...

About all I recall of the trip is there was snow on the top of Snowden...

Bit of a wake-up call (again ) I may not attempt a long journey for a while now and not unless I'm really feeling fit.

I'm thinking I should have done the trip in the XM. I made a last-minute decision to take the Xantia V6 and perhaps that was the wrong choice of car. I took the Xantia because it was a lot less frozen than the XM. It was so well iced up I couldn't even open the doors
