Citroen XM Forum

Don't forget Tonx

Not quite.

11 auto's and 13 manuals on the road and 9 on SORN.

Just for my own sake, Im VERY pleased jim has taken this car! It was one I desperatly wanted again after what happend to me before...

So I couldn't be happier for Jim to be the owner more then anyone else. Gives me time to save up again for her!

There's certainly not that many around Jim!

I think there's half a dozen that have cropped up from time to time around the forum...

Nice to see you on here Jim, pleased you have an XM again and you managed it while there were still some left! Pity its not a 2.1 though but I am sure you will enjoy it.

I swear I recognise your username from somewhere else Jim, are you that guy which posts a lot on the Corsa 12v forum?

Have they got a forum? more so, is there any corsas left? thought all the chavs had smashed them all up and have moved onto saxos..

Saxo has always been a chavs car, the 12v corsa was owned exclusivly by people who never wanted to reach their destination, some came close but the rust got too bad before they ever made it

Haven't seen one on the road for eons now Dean but I do know of a fairly outwardly tidy one (in super-faded red) festering on SORN in my road actually. Not moved in years. Nearby is a Ginetta sadly really rotting away under a tree you see growing as a weed on disused railways with purple flowers - the name of which escapes me. Keeping the Ginetta company and rotting even more spectacularly is a little turbo Lancia. This is a real little corner for cars. Along with my French collection and the aforementioned in my road we also have a concours RS Turbo, a Model T Ford, a very tastefully modded and immaculate Toyota Starlet GT and a brace of Evos. Still, being within a swallow's flight of the Aston Martin HQ I guess it's inevitable really...

Ahhhh That might be a Y10 Turbo.. with a small cut off back end..

I had a drive in one of those years ago, and the 1301cc turbo engine in the tiny car made it really fly! Its the same engine as the Mk.1 Uno turbo, they went well enough as it was..
