It is a fairly large event...I'm not sure on numbers but here's a picture to illustrate the CXs - I'm sure some others have got some "line-up" pictures of the XMs?

If you have a look in the background of this pic, you'll see the cars curve around in a circle shape around the middle of the field.


There's always a large variety of cars there...CX, XM, Xantia, GS, BX, Visa, C5, Picasso etc etc...

That must have been the Sunday! I was there on the Saturday, and there was no way that many CX's there then!!

WOW.... nice gathering, Im going to be there ALL weekend this year, so looking forward to that!

Thanks soooo much for posting the slide shows !

So a really good turn out , nice to see the 504 ti, there , i remember my dad having on of them new back in 1979, quite a pokey motor if i remember, or it seemed fast, but then i was only 13 yrs old, my mum had a 7 seater 504 estate at the same time, i remember going to our local pug dealership, they bought them both at the same time, my dad was part xing a Datsun Laural , and me mum through in her Datsun 180b bluebird estate, ! those where the days , as i remember he didn't have the 504 long , but did chuck it in for a 505 sti saloon when it came out !! in the same year FUF 622V was the reg, but dout very much if it servived, as most of them didn't....

a really nice collection there last year, it will be so good to meet some of you and pick your brains

We had lovely weather too, and hopefully we will again this year.
I just found this in my photobucket... completely forgot about it - CGOO on the Saturday evening:

sorry for my ignorance, CGOO ??

brilliant picture, i'm sure the weather should be fine, but then agian this is the UK , bit of rain isn't going to stop me,

some lovely cars there last year, this is my first citroen meet , so really looking forward to casting my eyes over some french classics, and comparing the xm's, and pick a few brains, it would be good to get mine on a Lexa thingy, if anyone has on there

CGOO is my dads Series 1 CX GTi Turbo. It's called CGOO due to the number plate!



Ok I might be bias but it's a special car...just turned 70,000 miles, leather interior, featured in Practical Classics Magazine and has never had any welding at all. The underneath is like new You've seen CGOO haven't you Robert?

hobblerian - you beat me to it!
