Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Spotted the grey Renault 21 again this afternoon but it was going round the opposite side of a roundabout so no chance of any details again.
I also followed a C5 estate for a while and it is very obvious how compliant the suspension is compared to most other cars on the road - especially the stretched Rolls-Royce that I observed crashing along like an Insignia. Must have been something terribly wrong there.

There is a local "Hot Rod" meet the second Wednesday of each month.
Held at the MetroCentre which is close to IKEA.
I was in IKEA anyway and took my grandson along, his mother joined us when she finished work.
She has a Clio that she dislikes, too small for her and she's fancying an American car.
Lots of interesting stuff there, a lot that I was completely unfamiliar with - like the Shelby Mustang, took me ages to work out what it might be.
Very poor representation from French cars but there was a very nice valver there.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I had to hire a van yesterday to pick some stuff up and typically spotted a couple of great cars, first was a silver P reg XM estate in St Helens, Then a dark grey Vel Satis on the M6 then a blue S2 Xantia estate again on the M6, a red C15 van but to far away to get a plate number, Just been to take the Transit back this morning and spotted a Brand New Belingo van that they are change to to replace their fleet of Transit Connects.....

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Yeah me too, they are great cars.
passed a French registered MK2 Silver Xantia just down the road from my house on the way back from work today, i was in mine and it was moving so i couldnt see the wheels but having a glance in my rear view i thought i saw and definatly heard its big bore exhaust system, very high chance it was an Activa but im not 100%.
