All is well in the Spencer household, its quite surreal having a different car for each day of the week available! Although in reality its the TZD turbo or Xantia TD SX that gets used mostly, BX one day, Xantia the next and so on...
Dropping said Xantia off at Barrys tomorrow eves and Ms Jones is very kindly running my beloved and me back home, its in for some welding, a clutch and sorting the handbrake, on Sunday we are off on our jolidays for a week in sunny Torquay and I have promised a week if NON car related enjoyment, and all the Citroen's will be left at home!
Roll on the Northern Rally!

Re: TIMS BX BLOG
Today Ms jones provided me with the most comprehensive service history I've ever seen on any car for J119, the bills total thousands....no wonder it's still around!
A great day at the d rally, lovely to meet Chris and his family and their ovely 19DTR, and ashley and dad with he recently resurrected txd!
I can't remember the gents name who had the 16TRS/50s one off but it was something else!
