Followed a brown Xantia V6 on the ringroad round Oxford today at about 2pm.

He turned off towards Littlemore. Very tidy car. Anybody on here?

I saw an xm estate in silver on the M65 this afternoon, i think the reg began with a14 or n14 but im not sure and i forget the rest, it wasnt hanging about either.

Never seen a brown Xantia before...even in photos... and now I see why it wasn't popular.

Did a quick trawl through cars registered on Club-XM, and couldn't spot that reg.
You're right, they don't hang about . . .

Spotted a Citroen H-Van passing in the opposite direction to me a few weeks ago - I think my dashcam caught a picture of it. Looked in pristine condition!

I'm not sure what the attraction is - is it the same set that would want to drive a classic VW minibus, but want french instead ? Or is it only for people who like driving wrapped in corrugated iron roofing ?

Spotted a Mauritius blue 3dr zx this morning, nothing particularly special about it but i recognised the reg as one from the dealership i used to work at, both car & (now closed) dealership are were close to where i live so the car hasn't gone far in its lifetime. For the records it was an R plate & possible the china spec auto version but driving past it meant i couldn't get a better look, looked pretty clean too.

Think the brown xantia in Oxford may have been Brun Quad, definately not a hint of burgundy, very, very brown.

Saw this Renault 5 when driving through Walton near Carlisle. Stopped, reversed back took out my camera and captured this.
