A black, possibly series 1, spotted on the M74 Southbound, heading towards Larkhall at around 10-30 am. Anyone?

That was me! Can't believe I've been spotted already after mere weeks of ownership.

You are obviously driving yours on the road :D On our last three visits to the far north of Scotland we haven't seen one :(

Excellent stuff Rohan :D I've been spotted once in the Activa and reported in a forum I don't look at :roll: I was told about it...

When I collected my XM from my MOT man he made a few nice remarks about it and saying how rare they are now before telling me that a few minutes previously he was at the tyre and exhaust mob nearby and was amazed to see another XM.. He said (roughly) "I can go f'ing months and months without seeing one and then f me, I see two in the same day!"

It turned out the other XM was Chris570's in for tracking adjustments before he popped round to see me for an LHM top-up.

Same thing happened to me on Tuesday taking my flat tyre to the fitters. They were most interested in the car.

No need to fit a tracker to trace an XM after theft. ;)

One of the ( few ) perks of driving for a living, is the opportunity for Citroen spotting on the nation's highways.
