Car Forum / Citroen Cars / January 2005Wishes
Dear posters You all had me worried for some time. But it appears our newsgroup is really taking off. My absence is not noticed anymore, but don't worry, I still look after the group. I cancel all spam I can find and each week the Charter appears from my PC. I am glad I could be of service to the Citroen community. Wanted to wish you all the best for the coming week. Take a look at our website www.aacit.net , there are my wishes to you all.

Sounds like it. But I won't. It's just I don't have the knowledge to help people. I don't know much about Citroens, just know I like my XM.

Are you telling me that my Xantia isn't a *real* Citro?n? I can show her maintenance bills: any SM or CX would be proud of'em. I cannot wait until the heater matrix got leaky or the ABS ECU went nuts, aaaah, the joys of the citroenhood. Oh, maybe you mean... no, no rust spots so far, dammit! > Are you telling me that my Xantia isn't a *real* Citro?n? > I cannot wait until the heater matrix got leaky Wah! That's a GINORMOUS job on a Xant. TBH, unless the car's otherwise spot-on, it's heading for scrap territory... > Are you telling me that my Xantia isn't a *real* Citroën?

You should see some of the bills from the Activa, fortunately we got the warranty company to pay out ;) >> Are you telling me that my Xantia isn't a *real* Citro?n?

That doesn't sound good. The XM is way better looking as the CX. It should be regarded as a classic, the XM that is. Anyways. I got to drive it until something really bad happens cos I 've spend so much on it. With that money I could have bought a *real* classic.

OK, OK, yours is larger (I mean, the bill), you win ;-) Tyres+spheres+discs+fluids+various adjustments = 1800ish, but this figure is euro, which in pounds is ...er... well, some pounds. Say 1200. I could have bought a CX GTI automatic series 2 with this money... Adrian, I warn you: any comment including "Activa" and "BMW" in the same sentence won't be welcome. Thanks for your comprehension :-? >> Are you telling me that my Xantia isn't a *real* Citroën?

CAS >> I can't wait to get the C4 I ordered last thursday... :-) > >Give us the low down when you pick it up - I for one will be interested in >real world feedback on it. Will do. Might take a while though. I think the delivery will be at best at the end of February. -- dan@dod.no Fiat Stilo 1.6 3P -02 Citroën C4 1.6i Coupé -05 (bestilt) >> So post something about *real* Citroens, Ian... > >Are you telling me that my Xantia isn't a *real* Citroën?
