Went to fill up with diesel ready for an early start in the morning.
Car decided to dump enough LHM to bring the warning lights up.
Might be a touch later getting to CXM now.

A great event somewhat inconveniently wet today, but sorry I had to dash off. Thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable event. Roll on next year's CXM!

Two XMs reunited, the pearlescent maroon one is Nigel's… it's the one I brought back from the Alps. This car features heavily in the following. Boy, was it shiny!

Lovely V6 Xantia

And the scene of out late night chin-wag… (Waking up this morning was, let's say, interesting!)

An absolutely brilliant weekend – I’m looking forward to next year already.

What a convoy run too...I bet nobody's been on a convoy where the cars at the back meet the cars at the front!!! It was all planned, you know...!

I think that the Fiamma F45 awning worked a treat...pickled egg anyone? :lol:

Anyway...pictures.
Image
And yes, that is the Mouse Mobile - hat's off to Dom! 8)

Image

Image
A bizarre CX 'kitesurf' :shock:

...erm. :o :)

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
A series 1 GTi Turbo...I was like :o :shock: :shock: when that rolled in!

Image

Image

It's a lovely car, and it's lovely to see another out there. What makes me like it even more is that it's been Maikonics'd! 8)

Image
Another awesome car, E993 KAD. 8)

Well done to Dom (Mouse-mobile), Paul (S1 Prestige) and Dean (modified-XM) for winning the prizes of the show.

'Twas also good to meet old and new friends and have a good laugh! :lol:

A great weekend, great cars, great venue and great people..a load of fun and laughs.. I'm not sure which wins out as the biggest, the evening socialising or the three way convoy..

A selection of pictures I took as a flavour of the event.

Afternoon tea at Claydon House.

Image


A few Citroens.

Image


Believed the last CX Familiale sold in the UK.

Image

A lovely CX Prestige in Olive green

Image

And a pair.

Image

Of all I think this is my favourite...weird as it's Beige..

Image

Image


The XM's on show.

Image

Note the Ami Super with GS 1220 engine fitted in the background.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Of which this one in Sable metallic was truly gorgeous having covered only 50k miles.

Image


I need to thank John and dean for the wheels and washer bottle sensor. Thanks Chaps.. :)
