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

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

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

Didn't say I would either

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

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

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

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