Off topic chat about anything you like. Doesn't have to be about XMs (though they will inevitibly come up!). You can even discuss non-Citroens :o in here!

I may also add, that keeping them all spangly and polished became a fruitless
exercise when the fall out of hay from nearby liveries settles over everything
within minutes and makes them appear like they've been there 50 years. It
does show the footprints from tresspassers walking all over the cars - the reason
I've had to take to leaving their bonnets up...

Hello Mr Andmcit

Good to hear from you again, shame about the circumstances.
Try not to let it get to you, what you do with your money and time and what your hobbies are are up to you and are nobody elses concern nor is it for anyone else to make comments about them.
We all understand what happens to cars in barns/storage especialy when your landlord is a total plonker, you should not feel you have to explain yourself here at all!

Im not overly happy about some autoshite members now imo :evil: .

Andrew :D Hello :D Great to hear from you and so sorry to hear of your problems. I trust they are now all on their way to resolution.

I'd be really heart-broken if I was in a similar situation and would be temped to give in but don't. Perhaps it is time to rationalise your collection to your one good barn, offer everything else to avid collectors and then concentrate on a few projects in a manageable way so you may start to enjoy your Citroens again.

What's the story of A6TVA? She's looking very forlorn :cry: Or do I already know the full story of that one. Sadly, I think I might.

I would be temped to have the thread pulled from autoshite as there's enough clues there to identify both you and the location...

You may be pleased to know the link or a thread of similar nature to this has not appeared on the FCF.

If you could delete the link on here Dean, that would help a little. That's what I'll do on the FCF should it appear. I've already alerted the FCF mods to this...

Trouble is, by now it's most likely gone viral...

Catch22 Jim - deffo the downside of renting rather than owning such places as the second barn
is a bit in limbo regarding the owner wanting to half my space currently used which I'm in the
process of negotiation over. Ideally, I'd like to exit the place pictured in Autoshite but all my
eggs would be in one unstable basket.

Appreciate comments about trying to keep a lid on it, however in truth, the only folks interested
in big old Citroens are pikeys for their scrap value.

Hi Andrew,

Hopefully you will get over this glitch, and have had a good break from cars to drum up some much needed enthusiasm.

The link to the autoshite forum was originally posted on the CCC forum, from where I got the link.
