That is a very nice looking CX and 2cv 8-)

I got excited there when I saw your Xantia is on Activa wheels ... :lol:

Should I keep those wheels whenever I am going to say good bye to my now driving again Xantia? Are they rare? They were on my old xantia which wasn't anymore special than this one.

Looking now on my iMac I see the yellow number plate but I didn't have the nose
visible on the iPhone I was using earlier as the browser cropped the page width!

I find that. My iMac is much better. The Note book crops the pictures.

Haven't discussed about how we are going to sell the 2cv, there is virtually no market for them in Ireland, I guess.
Price uhm, well it's Liz's but I guess it'll go cheaply, depending on the person that is going to look after it. I don't like the prices they are asking for them nowadays. I did get her for free but some money went into her of course and even got a new clutch last year.
But you're wrong Russ about the number plate...it is not a number plate, it says CITROEN! :) I am hoping to fix her soon. And somebody want her as well....

Well Jaap, I have a friend who is on the look out for a good 2CV. He is 2CV fanatic and would certainly pay a sensible price.... plus he would absolutely mollycoddle it.
If you have no one in mind then let me ask him and we'll see. If your not worried about it going till next year, that might be best for both of you.

If you want PM me the history of what you have done to it.

The day started so great!!!! But then, I burst my almost new winter tyre. What is it with this Xantia? This week I've got it 10 years but she's starting to hate me???? :) Giver her a new spark plug and then having to replace half of the engine :(
Give her an expensive winter tyre and BANG just when I was passing a massive truck...I've no experience getting money back from the county council but after all it was a pot hole I couldn't possibly avoid. I won't let it ruin my day though
