Sorry to ramble on, but I am still very excited bout owning a CX
No need to apologise, CX's always make me feel like that.
The Xantia maybe going in Feb to be replaced with a 2CV
You have got it bad
Good idea though in my opinion, if you need any 2CV advice, just ask, i know a little

Cheers Stinkwheel - I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions - and yes, I have got it very bad unfortunately....
Four of my first five cars were 2CV (the other was a brown Visa diesel) and I miss them a lot. After the 2CV's, i was charmed by diesel BX's and Xantias. (I'm not sure why I suddenly changed from 2CV's to BX's but think it may have been after an unpleasant incident when a very scary, very large, and as it later turned out, a supporter of Nazi ideals, flatmate got stuck in the back of my knackered Charleston)
My job involves a fair amount of round town driving and I really think a 2CV will be ideal, although I'm not sure my workmates would be very impressed (I had a colleague ask me why I had two "old bangers" when I could sell them both and get a nice little micra like hers!).
The 2CV I'd be buying belongs to my mum - she has driven them all my life and does 20K + miles a year in hers! It's that lovely dusty blue colour and seems a good one. My mum has also spent vast amounts of money maintaining it, which must be a bonus!
Today, I'm going to wash the CX (again) and try to reattach the sagging headlining. Then I might just sit in the CX and look at the lovely view over the bonnet!
