What a brilliant send-off - thanks for the photos. It's definitely the measure of a popular enthusiast when people come out like this.

That is a great picture of our Rally Car!

It was running low on fuel so Dom and I had to pop to the petrol station...typical though that there were 3 CXs trying to get into the carpark with us trying to get out. They wouldn't mess with our bull bar though!

Well that year seems to have gone rather quick.

RIP Roger.

Certainly hard to believe it's been a year. I'm sure he's having the time of his life in the great luxury car dealership in the sky.

In a land of non-rusting CXs maybe?

Two years... Where has that time gone...

Few pics - his old V6 at the CCC X Rally (Burghley House) where it won Best Xantia:

Three years... Where that time has gone I don't know...

RIP Roger.

Here's a picture of Roger back in the day - a scan from an old Citroenian from 1992..

As most of you know, his old Xantia V6 is now in the very good hands of Steve/Trainman which is great news.

Pictured here at the CX, XM and Xantia Rally a few weeks ago (Steve's picture)...

Roger's son, Matthew, and I have recently been giving Roger's Prestige some well deserved TLC after it's spell of hibernation - it will be at the 40th anniversary next year at the CX, XM and Xantia Rally along with the Rally Car too.

Pictured here a few months back prior to a light restoration commencing...

Four years - wow, where's the time gone...!

RIP, Roger.

Here's a couple of pictures of Roger with the Rally Car when we we had it out and about a few times.

Franklin,

The Xantia is staying with me for the foreseeable future, Jim got to the bottom of the gearbox problem, and I have no plans to let her go......

If you want Rogers family would let me to have a look, just give me a shout....
