Is this bad news or good news? I'm loving the XM.

Sounds like you were right Tim, definately sounds like a defection???

All joy now, wait until the inevitable problem

Then it'll be thank goodness i can rely on my bx

As I have said elsewhere: Wait until this particular French objet d'art throws a wobbly and we'll see!

Defection? Not really something a confirmed BXer can ever do, as it's in the blood. But the XM does provide an interesting distraction!

Have you managed to get the door sorted out on your Gti?

Im sure its good news and theres enough love to go round Phil, you would rightly expect the XM to be "better" than the BX as it cost twice as much new and was designed about 8/10 years later.

You wont find a bigger BX nut (nutter?) than me but I still love my SD1 just as much as I do my xantia

GTi to be done next week. TBH I can't wait to get her looking her best again.

What's this about an XM then Phil? Have I missed the story somewhere - I was away for three weeks. Lets have some pics then and the whole selling-of-your-soul confession!

Actually I think XMs look alright from the outside - I can't really deal with the overload of buttons inside, though that will keep you busy for a while working out what they all do!

My XM story to come... when I've got a moment, and pics too (tomorrow hopefully) now it's had a wash and a good Zymolizing. Went out in it today and then went out in the BX. I actually prefer driving the BX, but the XM is a good place to be - especially for the passengers. It was bought primarily for two or three long trips including a week down near Carcassonne. Only 20 kms or so from Alaigne actually!

I tend to agree with you on both counts Phil

.

Also looking forward to piccies and the story behind it!!

I enjoy my 2.1TD estate but find it too bloody big in carparks etc....

To save you waiting you can read all about it on the XM Forum, enjoy the read/pictures

Some pics of the new wheels. The BX is still waiting to be fixed but when she is I'll take her to this spot and do some shots of her too.

As if! I want to move back to France TBH, but it's more likely to be like this:

She looks beautiful Phil, I can see the attraction!
