	Hi folks....i thought id stick up a post on here as i notice there are a few "Citroenistes" lurking about My car is a daily driver phase 1 Citroen xm. You don't see many of these about anymore which is what drew me to it in the first place...along with a natural progression from my old Xantia and a lifelong love of old french cars...especially Citroens All work done so far on the finish and look of the car and engine bay has been done by me....The mechanical side of things by my friend Paul who runs Paris Autos...a Citroen independant specialist....it helps to know people like this when running these types of cars. Its a labour of love and is used for everyday stuff like tip runs, weekly shop etc, I'm restoring it up slowly as i go along and hopefully if i win the lottery tomorrow night ill give it a ground up resto just for the hell of it ;D On 210K miles now its got plenty of life left in it and its rust free too Said beast when i got it, and how it looks now after many hours work..... Now Still a work in progress and if you live around Manchester you might see it around.... :thumb:

	I've been a fan of these since they were launched, would love a TD estate. Looks stunning now, not seen 1 for a few years now.

	My Dad had one of these as a company car, in pretty much exactly the same spec as you've got there, he loved it. Fantastic car.

	We used to have one as our family car back in the 90s. Was an awesome vehicle, and yours looks like a stunning example

	Love it! These are ace cars, takes some bottle to own one I think but they seem well worth the effort. Had temporary custody of one once which had an electrically operated glove box thing between the front seats! Considering your's has done that sort of mileage it's fantastic, and one in the eye for those who doubt French cars.

	Nice one. I used to have a S1.5 SEi Turbo - lovely car. Have had CX's before that.....starting to think about getting another before it's too late.

	Nice XM. I currently run a Xantia 1.9d, perhaps I'll end up with an XM one day

	That looks cracking!! Love the XM (and the CX come to that). So why haven't I got one? I'm too scared, that's why . . .
