Mmm...Gold...

Went to Aylsham, Norfolk on Monday to Keys Auctions and I wondered if we'd see any XMs.

Saw Matthew's lovely gold V6 and a bit further back up the road (no picture) of IIRC, a 2.0 SEi.

I was about to say that looks familiar!

That is an amazing coincidence Franklin, because my office overlooks the street where the cars are parked and at one point I happened to be looking out and thought I saw you flash past in a sporty red C3? hatchback!! It is a shame you did not have time to call in for a chat and a cup of tea and to meet the rest of the family(ies). I look forward to seeing you at the 'X' weekend after next. All the best, Matthew T.

Wow! That is some coincidence Matthew and you're nearly right but it was infact a C4 by Loeb edition (only 400 in the UK), pictured here at Keys':



The C4 got a good bit of use that day travelling to Keys for a look around, a quick look around Aylsham including the market and then onto Holt, back to Bawdeswell for the garden centre and then back home.

It sounds like the X Rally is going to be a good event with a good attendance - see you there!

[MTXM]

Sorry Franklin but I am not so good with modern cars!! Next time you are in Aylsham do please look us up and I guess you already know about the Keys classic car auction on 19th May? See you on Sunday week. With regards, Matthew T. PS. The sei is also one of ours as you might have guessed!

[Duke]

No worries Matthew - you were close enough!

Indeed - do you plan to go to the Classic Auction as we'll have to meet up. I do like the whole set-up of Keys I must say - just excellent!

[MTXM]

I went to the auction last year Franklin that was great, although not to buy anything obviously!! It is a bit of a institution at Keys certainly and we could meet there and hopefully you could also call in and see our fleet? With regards, Matthew T.

Sounds a plan Matthew and I look forward to it - I'm sure we'll sort something out, probably at the X Rally. If dad's got an XM that's available and legal at that point in time I'll try and persuade him to go in that to Keys..

[MTXM]

That's great Franklin and I hope you might make it to Aylsham in a XM! With regards, Matthew T.
