CCC CX, XM and Xantia Rally 7-9/09/2012.

[Citroening]

I'll order a Best C4 trophy while I'm at it...

[Deanxm]

can the same car win 1st 2nd and 3rd is that legal?

D

[Citroening]

I'd have to consult the Board on that one...

Best "Citroen by Loeb Edition" would be a good one too...

[Citroening]

Managed to sort a few pictures out - here's some of the Saturday.

This little C1 caught my eye when it rolled in - sporting that twin exit exhaust it didn't sound bad at all, especially with it's 1/2 a V6...



The start of the glorious weather, and cars slowly filtering in.



Good to see Mr Emblem's GTi Turbo again that he's had for a very long time - bought from Roger "back in the day" and still wears the CX Centre Plates. Aftermarket Wheels are due to the TRX Tyres cost, although original T Slots are in the garage...





Some more XMs...



A different view-point from the back of the field, note Andy filling up his Xantia!



This ZX Volcane 3 Door was a cracking car to see - didn't manage to chat with the owners I don't think but a lovely lovely car...



Mr Seabrook's Green Tiger BX stands out a bit in the line-up...



The starts of the formation of the convoy drive to Bletchley Park. We had 39 cars start off, and 35 made it... Never saw the other four...



And some more at the back including Chris' V6 and Dean's Activa:



Convoy (I agree with Andy's comments that we should have had the theme song playing...):





A quarter of the line-up at Bletchley Park:



Another quarter:



Matthew's XM V6:



Will's XM 2.1 SD with others behind and the mansion:



Steve's C6 looking particularly nice:



Another part of the line-up:



Jim's Activa, Dom's Safari, Will's XM 2.1 SD and Penny's XM:



Jim's Activa:



Back on-site, and Steve and Ron's C6s:



Matthew taking Chris' V6 for a spin:



Maurice's and Penny's near identical XMs:



French registered CX 20:



Dean's and Jim's Activae:



One corner of the camping area:



A few Gs:



Nice sunset above the C6s:



Couldn't resist a few night shots again this year, this one was at 21:10 Saturday Night:



Sunday pictures will follow once they've been sorted out...

[Citroenmad]

I really wanted to talk to that C1 owner but didn't get chance, it seemed to go early.

Some fantastic pictures Franklin, im going to have to save that one of my V6 driven by Matthew

[Citroening]

He didn't hang around for too long Chris as I think he was working in the area so called in. Was chatting with him and Jon (DS3R) and he runs the CityBig forum apparently.

Thanks Chris - I liked that one too! I can send the full res one over if you want...

[Citroenmad]

I thought I recognised the C1, Im on the citybug club forum

That would be great, thanks Franklin, it might well go as my desktop

[bxzx16v]

Cracking pics Franklin , that Zx volcane looked a beauty

Mark

[Citroening]

No worries Chris - just sent it over.

Thanks Mark, good to meet you on Sunday too. Indeed, that Volcane was a lovely car...

Pictures from Sunday should be up sometime tonight...

[Citroening]

Pictures from Sunday should be up sometime tonight...

...and here they are. Manage to whittle them down to a much lower number so here's some from Sunday:

En route to Little Horwood from the hotel on the Sunday Morning we had an impromptu convoy with Sandre/Caffiend with her BX TZD Turbo through all most of Milton Keynes finest roundabouts...



Also spotted James in his Prestige coming the opposite way so had to take a quick snap...



The field was filling up nicely, and here's a view from the back of the field...



Jason's V6 looking very smart indeed, and Darren's XM V6 in the background. Both went to go onto win 1st Prizes for Xantia and XM...



My C4 looking deceptively clean. Eagle eyed people will spot the XM Bodykit stashed in it...



Was great to see this CX again as it used to be one of ours - a DTR Turbo 2...



...and this GTi Turbo 2 as well:



This particular CX won Best CX this year - the owner has owned it from new!



Lightly modified XM...



Lovely CX Safari...



This CX 25 Pallas IE was a lovely car:



A trio of Visa GTi's!!



BXs were out in force:



As were the XMs and owners:



This S1 XM was tasty...



Great Xantia Line-up, with most being V6s and some Activa's!



Jason's V6 again:



Dean's Activa:



A sea of Citroens:





A very early CX 2200 Diesel!!



CX Line-up:





XM 2.5TDness:



Some more CXs:



Prize-giving and Raffle:





Ron's Monkey got a new home...



Bon Voyage...



James' Prestige:



A nice pairing...



Want... Jon's DS3R:





Chris's V6:



A Family Re-union: Roger's V6 and Roger's Sister's V6. Funnily enough Jason has bought the Silver V6 from dad - a fitting new home!



James leaving:



Action:

[Citroenmad]

Some more excellent pictures Franklin

Again, a great one of my V6. Ill have to get that door strip sorted!

So Jason now has two V6s! I would love his red S1, a stunning car.

[Citroening]

Thanks Chris.

I would love his red S1, a stunning car.

Behind me in the queue! I can see us owning it again one day, and definitely a 'keeper'. A V6 with LPG is the ultimate combo', and what with it being Roger's car too...

[Citroenmad]

Definitely, I would have to put that among my top favourite Citroens, the rare colour, condition, engine, spec, its an S1 and it is on LPG. It's superb!

What are Jasons plans for the silver S2? Daily driver?

[Citroening]

What are Jasons plans for the silver S2? Daily driver?

Well Roger's V6 will be off the road for the winter as to preserve it and his wife Chell will be selling her Focus and using the Series 2 (she can only drive Auto). Jason's got a work van so will use the S2 a bit but not that much. His and hers!

[Citroenmad]

That sounds like a fantastic idea, and what an upgrade! From a Focus to a V6 Xantia

Good to hear the crimson beauty will be out of the salt, my Xantias will be too.
