Lovely . You must have a very understanding wife

Fortunately I don't have a wife (I'm far too young for that at 22), let alone a partner that I need to compromise with. Ever since me and my last girlfriend broke up on Christmas day last year I've been put off the idea of relationships for the time being. It would have to take someone pretty special for me to think again!

[Citroenmad]

Well, you do have a special new lady in your life Kev, an older one at that! ... Annabelle is going to take some looking after you know

No doubt a much more simple prospect

[CitroJim]

Than women? Indeed

[bxzx16v]

Stick with the cars Kev , they are certainly less trouble

Well done Kev. She looks well. When do you take delivery?

If you get stuck for anything give me a shout. I've picked up a fair amount of spares for my stores. Plus some 'modern' reference numbers for belts, etc.

Thanks Jim!
Thats something else, this one has been off the road since '94 and still has its original 1981 logbook!...

I'll raise you that with '91 and the original bill of sale!

Well if we're playing that game, how's about been in a barn since 1985...and it's a 1983 car!

GSA ready for the CX, XM and Xantia Rally then Kev?

[red_dwarfers]

The only thing missing from this is the original bill of sale!

I don't think it's going to be ready for any rallys this year. DVLA reckon 4 weeks for a new V5C. If out of pure luck it's mot'd and I have the v5c in my hands by the remaining rallies this year it will be going

It's being dropped off here on Friday

What style of V5 do you have? If its an 80s or 90s one, it may be worth going direct to your local DVLA office (Exeter). Fill out a V62 and hand over your old V5, they'll check everything out and start the process off there. From my experience, you generally get the logbook come through quicker and use can then keep the old style V5 as a memento without any trouble.

No costly postage stamps involved either, just the £20 in diesel to get you there!


We expect plenty of photos on Friday!

[red_dwarfers]

Thanks Dom, V62 has already been sent off along with a SORN declaration. I'll know for next time though!

I've stuck a post down in the GS/A section about the recommissioning, could you have a look at that when you get five minutes?

[Citroening]

Being totally serious here, getting it there is entirely possible! 2 Weeks? Plenty of time...

In fact, I know that a certain Rouge Soleil CX Owner had their CX MOTd on the Thursday before the Rally a few years ago and it was it's first proper journey...

Easy!!!

[CitroJim]

Right, that gives you 2 weeks for CXM. plenty of time. My XM will be there......

And that from someone who took 11 months to fix a few trivial faults on an XM

It's all right Chris. I'm not going to........ You know where I live....
