Well ive been reading through all your blogs and its all very interesting, so i thought i would start one too since ive been on here a little while..
This is my baby
I bought the car on the 27th sept 2003 from a dealer in Ringwood, i couldnt really afford to insure it at the time (£1200
) even though its only a 2.0N/A but i wanted an XM so badly and with 45k on the clock, FCSH and 1 owner from new i couldnt resist 
Ive made a few mods along the way with 17" alloys, drilled black diamond discs all round, morretts, CD player and DVD including new speakers all round, sat nav and some upgrades including secondary rear glazing, electric armrest and a few other bits and peices.
The car has now been fully resprayed in its original colour to freshen it up a bit and a few more mods are on the cards which will include a full rebuild and transplant of the PSA 2.0 Turbo engine i have recently aquired.
The underside, whilst rust free like the rest of the car, was waxoled last year (im still picking the damn stuff out of my hair now
) and is lasting very well although i may have the rear subframe off this year and treated in the hard to reach areas before any of the dreaded tin worm starts.
Here are some other shots of the car, including my favourite at preists leap in Ireland on hols last year
