I was in the office yesterday, and spotted a C6 waiting at the lights outside. I wondered if it was David's, but it was a sort of royal blue colour, so not his. Looked very tidy for what is now a 14 year old car!

One of the local driving instructors has got a C2. I looked it up this afternoon, 2009 car which at last MOT in Mar 21 had done 166k, seems to be around 30k a year so could be knocking on the door of 200k by now. That's a good effort in a C2, wonder how many clutches it's had!!??

Not something you expect to see in a multi storey car park (even if it is in Windsor!).

And YES, it is French (technically)!

A Xantia in the wild today! Smart looking early MK2 black hatch, MOT history says under 100k miles.

I have not spotted any other Xantia on the road in Israel for the past 3 years at least..
I think me and My dad's are the only kicking Xantia's around Tel-Aviv, or there are so few left, I should basically fill out a lottery ticket on the day I see one.. :lol:

"Original" but half the car's been resprayed and it comes with aftermarket wheels. Good luck to them.

I think i'd have the BX 4x4 instead:

Having had a BX 16V I know I would never be satisfied with a regular GTi, they are just not quick enough to keep up with other similarly targeted cars which, lets face it, is the main reason for buying a performance car in the first place. :-D

A good, nicely sorted red one is very easy on the eye...

Not a lot of protection from ieds in that.
