CCC East Midland Group Meet - Bourne Citroen - 23rd October.
The next meet within the East Midlands Group is to visit Barry Annells' establishment in Bourne (Bourne Citroen - PE10 9JY for GPS users) on the 23rd October.
The plan is to meet at the Waterside Garden Centre (PE6 9NY), on Kings Street, just off the A15 at Baston, at 11.00 am, have a look around, then have lunch in the restaurant there. Afterwards we will convoy to Barry's Garage for a good look around and rummage!

Re: CCC East Midland Group Meet - Bourne Citroën - 23rd Octo
I'm planning to join you all for this day out.
Whilst I know Barry at Bourne Citroen, I've never been to his workshop.
I'll most likely bring my recently acquired C6.

A duff gearbox, XM auto then, you should buy yourself a BX

Re: CCC East Midland Group Meet - Bourne Citroën - 23rd Octo
Do you really think a CX has what it takes to break my absolute addiction Franklin? Is it characterful enough? Remember an XM nearly did but not quite but it was as near as anything has ever got...Citroening wrote:...time for a CX then Jim!
So, on that basis, in what ways is CX so much better than an XM that it might break my addiction?

Re: CCC East Midland Group Meet - Bourne Citroën - 23rd Octo
i think maybe a dersh (2CV) as you dont require and engine hoist to lift the lump out, and i aint seen an AUTO one as yet,
all problems solved,
