Why go to CCC events just to stand in a field full of Ds, I bet you get pictures of some too :roll:

Depends what your interested in as to what makes something special :)
Err no, I'm pretty sure I've never taken a picture of other DS's since I bought mine. In fact I'd reckon that I've taken less pictures of my DS than I have fingers on my hands and that includes the weddings I've done in it.

As for standing in fields of DS's at CCC events I think you'll find I'm rather noticeable by my absence this year as I haven't been to any events whatsoever, CCC or otherwise :wink:

I'd hardly call a Xantia special, dear oh dear Chris you are in need :lol:

Didn't say I would either :lol:

Activas interest me, but not because its a Xantia, because its one of the most advanced suspension systems Citroen have put into production. And I like all that business about Citroen, their innovation etc. It also drives very nicely for a medium sized hatchback, which is another reason why I bought it.

Ah, the Avantime. A pointless, bonkers car. I'll have one some day.

It was the car that put Matra in the poor house, wasn't it?
Sure is... killed them off! Well worth it though :D

Yes, Dave, I've seen a C6 taxi here in Belfast, as well as a few Vel Satis!
French is best.

C6 would be a nice taxi. Much better than driving a Skoda Octavia.

Didn't Michael O'Leary buy taxi plates for his Merc so he could use the bus lanes around Dublin? Sounds like something similar :D

And your road tax would be only €80 a year. Happy days.
