1999 Xantia LX 2.0 HDI 110 Rusteration project...
Aye,they got ambushed and the baddies shot the car up.
Biker baddie gave chase and the good guy (avantime thing) kicked the door open,crashing the bike,then they got away and swapped cars.
Suprised you never even saw the cx,(barge?) as it has 2 main parts.
One with Michael Caine (the old hippie), and t'other when the good guy/s use it..(I'll not spoil the plot if u've not seen it..)

Apparently there is a 406 Coupe in Inception. I've yet to watch it though so will have to see if I spot it (will be doing so tomorrow probably)

That 'barge' is the BEST estate car ever designed! Nothing like it or comes close! Speaking of Cx's...
Just watching Curse of the Pink Panther and just seen a smart cavalcade of x3 Cx's ferrying the French President and his minions. Blue Prestige and a following silver saloon - 3rd was but a glimpse! 82 film so an early Prestige.

Having just watched Inception, there is indeed a 406 Coupe in one of the earlier scenes. Parked in front of it is a S2 Xantia.Toby_HDi wrote:Apparently there is a 406 Coupe in Inception. I've yet to watch it though so will have to see if I spot it (will be doing so tomorrow probably)

A Xantia is spotted in London traffic...
... in the movie Wild Target (2010).
Looks like a MK1 Xantia, registration plate is not seen.
There is a distinguishing round sticker on the rear door window.
Is the owner a member of FCF ?
I definitely liked the movie.

They're obviously not keen on the Xantia facelift thenarkweld wrote:Here's an .....extract from Four Lions movie , where the Xantia puts in a good appearance
Just got back from Whitby and the Oz program "Motorway Patrol" is on Bravo.
There had been a table in the middle of the dual carriageway which the police cleared, but up the road a light blue DS had hit it blowing a 5 inch hole in the side of the OSR wheel.
The elderly couple driving it said they heard a bang and a slight judder as they hit something while driving, so pulled over.
The police helped remove the rear wing and change the wheel

French Connection II (1975).
"Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) travels to Marsailles to find Alain Charnier, the drug smuggler that eluded him in New York.
Going back 35 years in time, to Marsailles in France. I liked watching lovely old French cars, streets, buildings more than the movie itself ... very nostalgic!
Here are some Citroen pictures, which are re sized and each saved to be under 50KB. Sorry for the quality.

Watched An American Werewolf in Paris (these American werewolves don't 'alf get about a bit!) and that was a veritable citroen fest!
It was quite funny too.
