Wertyuio10 - Xantia 1997Cc Hdi Estate

[wertyuio10]

Hello to everyone,

 

In the interests of using these type of boards as originally intended, here are a few words about my Citroens.

 

I've owned a few beginning in 1990 with a 1984 LNA and culminating in the above.  In between, there have been a variety of cheap second hand commuters, some vehicles to earn money, some nearly new prides and joys and one brand new spanker.  In owned order they were:  BX 16 TRS, AX GT, Visa 17D, Saxo VTS, AX Furio (ha ha), Xantia 1.8i and two C5 estates.

 

My dad had a couple of CX estates and hope to get hold of one one day....just because.

 

I regret passing on most of the above cars as all have great memories and I miss their idiosyncracies but the missus makes me sell one before buying the next one.  Other cars she has made me regretfully dispose of since 2002 include a '77 and a '79 Honda Accord, '79 Civic, '93 Subaru MV pick up, '90 VW Jetta, '92 Rover 216 GSXi (love the letters), '72 Mercedes 350 SL. '85 Mercedes W123 Saloon 230E, '84 Mercedes W123 estate, '93 Maestro Clubman D, '98 Audi 80 Convertible, '93 Honda Accord Aerodeck and '93 Honda CRX.

 

I have posted a question in xantia technical but hope to be able to communicate on here when not requiring your help!  I have a tendency to hoard stuff (not much Citroen though, sorry) so if you are after something, just ask, I may have it.  I am in Lincolnshire but near the top close to the Humber Bridge so if you're passing let me know....will always make a brew.

 

Cheers, Richard

Hi Richard and welcome to the forum buddy, Thats an impressive list of former vehicles, the Audi 80 rop Top would be worth a fortune now. Lookforward to speaking in the future, right now her indoors is demanding I eat my dinner, bye for now

Hello and thanks for replying,

 

Well if it was prepared by her indoors, I think it only right she makes demands.  Plus its always nice to get tea made for you.....isn't it?

 

I would continue with my philosophy of older cars but they have become expensive in recent years.....whether that's because the internet has made them easier to find or its just become 'cool'.  Think I will hold fire until I can afford a decent CX.
