Four BXs and four XMs spotted today!

Post by Willy »

1. Mine :P in the driveway outside the house

2. J943 SBM red diesel estate outside Guildford, looked brilliant (being driven)

3. K196 XVR red TXI hatch in Guildford

4. G718 VYN white 16v at the condemned Shermanbury Garage near Horsham. The four XMs were here also. As was a very polite old man looking like Michael Heseltine, who, after me stopping on my pushbike, stormed out of the side gate, began shouting "what's your problem?". After me saying that I was interested in old citroens, he then announced thatbhe was "fed up of people like you", told me to "fuck off" and "go away and stay away", after describing how well he can see out of his window and how effective his CCTV camera was. How colourful. Anyone on here? :wink:

I'd have probably returned the gesture along with my foot in his arse and a generalised comment about public property, free country and looking not being illegal (yet).
I have zero patience for your tedium.

That 16v looks very nice, and its still on the road as well. I don't live too far away, maybe I'll go down there with a 'fist full of dollars' and see if old Victor Meldrew fancies parting with it?!

More but far less interesting...

J769 OPC (I think, have had a shower since I wrote that on my hand) in Reading earlier.

Looked pretty tatty but at the same time fantastic, black petrol iirc.
