Citroen XM Forum

The only car I've completely broken down was my first car, a Mini 1275GT, after a mate crashed it 2 days after it was put on the road.

I managed to flog the engine and box, doors and boot lid, wood dash, full length sunroof, tinted windows.
the scrap man turned up expecting a complete car and got 1/4 ton of steel...

Still took it away though..

I'm begining to wish now that I had repaired the green estate as there don't seem to be anymore

I'm loosing count now. 3 Xantias, 3 Xms, 2 Bxs, and a CX.

There's a cheap Series 1 Si on ebay at present Peter. you could dieselise that one.

Yes, I've forgotten how many I've scrapped myself and don't like counting actually.
At least half a dozen each of Cx's, GS/A's, Xantiae and Xm's.
I get really depressed breaking GS's and Cx's.

Peter could do worse than chucking the 2.1 entrails from his 'bus stopped' green Xm estate
into your 'spare' car Andrew...

Yeah Peter you could. Plenty of photos and a day by day blog!

If I could find a really nice petrol, diesel auto or even a 2.5 I would consider them now. The white one is a very nice car to drive, just a bit tatty, I think I will have to tidy it up a bit, we tend to use the BMW when visiting as its so much smarter but I still prefer the XM.

If I was peter I wouldn't bother, I'd deliver both cars to that Steelcity bloke and leave him to it..

I wouldn't bother, he's a slow and sloppy....
