My first Xantia was a sinker. On an L plate.
Absolutely right Mark I'm sure the large manufacturers will cotton to the need for soft long-travel suspension again soon... Driving a tin-springer must be purgatory these days. No wonder so many drivers look so miserable...MTND wrote: Springs on Britain's current road surface!!! Thank goodness for LHM

Re: The CCC X Rally - 7th April 2013.
OK, I'd like a ride in a Xantia AND an XM! My previous car was a Volvo V70 T5, so I know what performance and large cars are (not sure about the best ride in the world though!)citroenxm wrote:Tell you what. Forget a xantia.. get a ride in an xm. . You will LOVE. It. If i have my 24v s1 manual at a rally and hopefully cxm this year then you will know what performance and large cars are then. Plus the best ride in the world. . The xantia just. Doesn't touch the xm at all. ..
Me neither, must be a C4 VTS thing (lol as well!) (never thought I'd ever use the expression, lol!) (as I'm an old git!)daviemck2006 wrote:I don't lololCitroJim wrote: Driving a tin-springer must be purgatory these days. No wonder so many drivers look so miserable...

Re: The CCC X Rally - 7th April 2013.
I just wondered what you have tried for the plastics since then. I recently got some aptly named G Technic C4 http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/ex ... -restorer/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Citroening wrote:Excellent!
As some of you may have read elsewhere I waxed the C4 the other day, but unfortunately it seems someone had been a little over exuberant with silicone based shine-in-a-can which has not reacted well with the finish of the C4... It polishes off with a microfibre but it's not right as it's finished all blotchy. A wash and another wax tomorrow will sort it. Damn annoying though as it was looking so good... My own fault really but the plastics shine-in-a-can brought the few pieces of exterior plastic up lovely although did it too soon after waxing. I'll do them first, from now on...
I've only tried it on a few bits, the "diffuser" at the bottom of the rear bumper, the aerial, the side window surrounds (on this car nothing I tried worked on these, they always looked crap but not now!) and the VTS badges, which are now a nice red instead of pink. If it lasts as long as they say it should it would be great as (particularly on my daughter's Clios) I was getting fed up with re blacking the trim every wash. I hope it does last this long as it's madly expensive, but as I say the best thing I've used so far!

You don't happen to still have the Bacarrat wheeltrims?Bannedbiker wrote:Wouldn't two horses be better? Deux Chevaux? 2cv?myglaren wrote:You can come in or on anything you like Martin.Bannedbiker wrote:I'd like to come (enjoyed the one last year) but I sold my Xantia a few weeks back.
Would it be ok to come in a vehicle sold in the same Japanese showrooms as Citroen's in the late 1980's/early 1990's?
I'm suggesting a 1997 Eunos Roadster.
Even the handbook and folder have Citroen chevrons beside the Eunos badge.
Heres hoping,
Martin.
If you come on a horse it might get barbecued though
If anyone would be interested I've got a few Xantia parts I don't need so will be bringing them with me. A couple of brand new lower ball joints (Lemforder), 4 hub caps (style of hubcap is Baccarat as used on S2 Xantia, fits 15" wheel) and a set of roofbars for Xantia or XM (assuming I can get them in a Eunos/Mx5).
