The DS3 is certainly a very popular car Steve... I must admit I'd be quite happy with one... They look brilliant for a modern car, especially in yellow and black...

Maybe it got the DSM Rally dates confused and was a week late for it....

Surely a sighting of an SM in the wild away from a Citroen meeting must be worth a medal of some sort Jim. :-D

Poo brown ? Are you sure it wasn't gold like this ?

Or was it more like this ?

Or perhaps this ?

Saw 2 XMs today! One in Beckermet south of St Bees (dark coloured parked up, unsure if in use, but the suspension appeared to be up - an Rxxx yKV so Citroen original). The other coming the other way near Carlisle - a silver hatch on a P reg.

Timmo I have just posted up a link to your biscuit tins on Picture (s) of the Day hope you don't mind, but they definitely merit the accolade as much as the best NASA can offer from their POTD!

Pale blue P plate Xantia spotted heading toward Wolverton Tesco this morning...

A new one on me... It looked quite tidy but its spheres looked a bit shot - it was bouncing along like Tigger...

A good number of Xantia floating around southern Brittany still, most with A badges on for recently passed drivers, budget barge motors now i guess, Renault 4,in the same car park an early ID 19, and a few others, velsatis, saffranne, twingo etc. Will pop pictures up dreckly, but this one i thought stood out as the best, mostly for its model edition! ;)

One for the pensioners :lol:

It's been a long time since I've seen an R5 in the wild now.

That one looks in lovely nick too :D
