A Citroen Mini Meet
Purely by accident, this was the line up at Sainsbury's, Stroud, for lunch today!

Aye, the XM is a big old bus. Comfy though.

Re: A Citroën Mini Meet
Personally I think beige is an underrated colour!

I see this beige one a lot in Gloucester and Stroud. I like it and would roll in it.

My excuse is I was last and therefore had no choice. Also I am three inches off the fence.Defender110 wrote:What terrible parking from you all; missed the gap between the white lines and hit the fence! are you all ex-volvo drivers?

Re: A Citroën Mini Meet
The parking is dead straight, look, they're all very nearly parallel. It must be the quality of the line painting in the car park.
Diagonally parked in a parallel universe

Re: A Citroën Mini Meet
I've seen the 2CV and the BX lots of times, and I'm pretty sure I passed that XM by Junc 13 off the M5 heading for the A38 a few weeks back too!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Re: A Citroën Mini Meet
What an amazing coincidence, I live 7 miles from there, work just a couple of miles from there and sometimes shop there, and have seen none of those cars before
