Who the heck was Becky? What xm did she have?

I didn't see a single Bx with a bonnet up.. were they too shy of their lesser 8v engines?

even the beauty Bx 16v was all locked up out the way... shame. A 16v should be shouted about...

I ELIT'd Rothegar's Xantia to diagnose a duff OSF ABS sensor...

In truth, it was a bit windy to have bonnets up really...

Indeed it was...

Mine was open all day on Saturday but closed all day yesterday.

I drove straight into the shed and parked up last night... 30 seconds after I did we got torential rain! Glad I beat it home!

My XM did 5 times more mileage this weekend then it's done in the last 12 months!

Look at em shading the view!!! The 16v is a nice lump and should be shown off in its CORRECT home...

That and the Tizzy D turbo the only two decent models..

Thats fighting talk where I come from you know, a bit like saying the only Xantia worth owning is a Activa........

AND the only reason the bonnet was up to take a look as it was minter,

12 BXs, well in my defence I wasnt there much of Sunday

Shame we only have this meet once a year, the meetings up here seem too few and far between.

Well guys looks like i missed a good rally. it always seems to be windy at the northern rally....shame really as it whips up alot of dust.

Looking at the pictures i do like the yellow dyane and all the GS's

Its a pity it was the most busy weekend so far of the year for me....i intend to get to a show this year (work is horrible at the moment) and next year the big show at harrogate..bring it on

The yellow Dyane is a 4x4

Next years harrogate event is going to be excellent, im really looking forward to that. We have been asked to have two of our cars in the Citroen museum, so I will probably be there for all of the show days.

Cheers for that, Jim! It must be a while since you checked out prices on GSF. It is £75 for the replacement sensor. OUCH!

I enjoyed my windy excursion up North. They say it's grim up there but it wasn't too bad.

Like you said, had to pull a couple of slick manoeuvres to get out of Yorkshire undetected.

Made it across the border safely.

'Die Fliegende Zitrone' escaped unscathed. Flying in pairs always help deter attack I find.

Seriously though, both Sylvia and I enjoyed the afternoon. Shame it was too windy for the bike.
