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 in here!
Robert - do you think the car has tried reversing out of the gravel; wouldn't that still be the car finally
braking to a stop in the loose stuff?
Well there isn't a long stretch of gravel for it to have such a mound of it in front of it. Its possible that is it from its final resting palce. I suppose with the right hand side wheel in limbo, all the power would spin out through it anyway.
Glad I wasn't in either car, but would hate to have been in the Es-crote.

Tbh Andrew the Transit has a flybywire throttle and it sticks on a daily basis and has done for the last couple of years our other transit done it too and is quite common so i hear, i find a simple way around this problem is the big pedal in the middle of three, climbing into the passenger seat and covering my eyes, not so much.
I think it comes down to people being sued, it is a nastey habit people have got into of late and Toyota probably decided that having 3 million people take them to court and bend them over would be more painful then recalling all the cars.
