It's all in jest Paul I know the Aussie character well, having lived there... It's rubbed off on me a bit too Top people, every one of them

As a result I know there is no offence that need be taken at all... I'm sure you can get Adam back with some reference to convicts somewhere soon

Aussies are top people, every one of them - despite being convicts...

Yes I like Aussies too, from what ive seen on TV anyway...

I meant the beady-eyed figure peering over the fence, looking to see if Paul's home.

Top people, every one of them...

It may be fair to exclude the chap who I caught sifting through my plumbing scrap pile yesterday. He won't be back anytime soon.

Umm, yes, well... There's always one bad apple in a barrel... Exceptions that prove rules and so on...

So what did you do to him to ensure he'll never come back? Set him spannering the 605?

Well, I shall post this on Club XM fourm too, but some FCF members dont go there..

My 24v XM is GROUNDED.. and not going any where soon unfortunally... This is because today I have found this lot:

Nearside Subframe mount.. Not holed but a little weak...


Offside Subframe mount - infact its holed on the side facing the front...


Offside subframe mount again..


Offside chassis rail, inboard of the cill... Cills ARE actually solid.





So with that lot, Im afraid X rally is not on her list. Im gonna aim for CXM instead, or possibly ICCR if I can get her done intime.

Oh right!

You'll be an expert at this welding lark in no time

[citroenxm]

Already done outer Cills on this 24v, my 12v SEi auto, AND my SED 2.1 .... so welding isnt a worry, its the time to do it right...

[CitroJim]

Cor! That's some fine corrosion Paul...

All done by the finest Anglesey salt-spray I guess...

[Citroening]

Sorry to hear that Paul, however it will be worth it in the end I'm sure!

The Xantia's still got an X in it, so no excuse for the X Rally...!

[citroenxm]

Ahhh Im STILL comming to X rally, we have Sat night booked at a Travelodge... so will still be there..
