CCC Column
Hi Folks,
As many of you will know, I am the XM columnist for the CCC.
I am sending out a plea for contributions from club members and XM enthusiasts.
Any type of contribution is welcome, whether it be of a technical nature (how I managed to fix my ABS problems) or anything XM related (an interesting trip away in a XM, or XM related story).
I'd also like to say a big thank you to the people who have already sent in contributions and features for articles.

I have written to the previous owners of my xm so find out more about the nature of its past european trips. Would you be interested in a contribution about its journey?

Re: CCC Column
Hi Vince, good to see you here too
Robert, you really need to wring the story of Chris570's S2 XM V6 rebuild out of him... It might be a struggle but I'll see if I can help. His saga, which has really only been barely touched upon in his FCF blog, will keep you in copy for years
Maybe one day I can submit something...
On the subject of the CCC columns generally, it is with regret that I am, for reasons some of you know, having to throw in the towel with the Xantia Files column. I'm not going immediately but will stay in harness until a successor is appointed...

Re: CCC Column
Hi Vince,
I would indeed be interested in featuring the story of your Xm, and its many Foreign adventures.
Jim,
Sorry to hear you are stepping down from the Xantia column, but looking after number 1 is the most important thing. Please get Chris to put finger to Keyboard and share his XM rebuild story, it is too big a story to not share.

That would be a great story to read about. Road trips are always cool, especially if they contain pictures.Vince wrote: I have written to the previous owners of my xm so find out more about the nature of its past european trips. Would you be interested in a contribution about its journey?
