Magic Xantia?

Post by macaroni »

Watching my son's copy of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" I noticed a cameo by a tidy phase 2 pale green metallic Xantia. It gets nudged by the Knight Bus as it comes to a stop outside the Leaky Couldron Inn. Slight continuity error in that the alarm goes off, but on my Xant, the alarm is a pressure sensing, not motion sensing one.
Ok, I will get my coat...

Yes, I noticed that one, and wondered which of the Leaky Cauldron's clients owned it!

Seemed to be the bald, hunch-backed doorman as he switched off the alarm with the remote.
Stereotypical Xantia owner I reckon!

Ah, well, it'll have activated the internal sensors because they left the air vents open. The pressure of being nudged forward caused a hurricane inside the car, which set the alarm off.
Did you notice the handbrake was also working - must have had the recall done !

Well spotted sir. I wouldn't know that as I have never activated my Xantia alarm.

I like the way mine grunts if you try and set the alarm before all the doors are shut.....
