What on earth are you on about Will!

I have an article in a CitroPassion Magazine which has a great but long article on the XM. It's in French and no idea what the hell it sez. However it has some great pics of a mk1 Mandarin V6.
Can't be bothered to use Google translate!

I am totally missing something here aren't I?!

Toothpaste is good for polishing small scratches out of windscreens. Perhaps that's what Will was referring to Russ :roll:

It's called topic drift and French car forums seem particularly susceptible, especially the FCF. There if a thread does not go way off-topic of its own accord a mod steps in and makes sure it does...

Toothpaste.....a little goes a long way! :lol:

Sorry Russ- actually "topic drift" is something I love about this forum- in contrast to the heavily-moderated, rule-bound rubbish of another car forum I frequent (but don't much anymore, to be honest).

Robert, would BX articles be allowed? I've got Citromania's 2-part special "30 Years of the Citroen BX" articles here (there is a small XM article in there too). I would understand if you can't be bothered! :lol: :)

Well I have totally missed something. Sorry guys. I don't care where the topic drifts to, as you say Rohan... Drift away!

I will scan that article then and put up here. Also I'll get a copy for you Robert.

Yay, at last Russ! :lol: :lol:
I was having a quiet chortle this morning reading the thread after I got up.
I have to say Will, it isn't an euphemism I've encountered before!

As long as no-one suggests brushing their teeth now we will be ok...do carry on!
