New to forum, but not Citroen!

[Robin Brian]

Hi all. Now in my 70's and retiring next week - for the third time! I have been charmed by Citroen since my 20's when I drove a DS and loved it's quirky engineering. Soon appreciated the quality of their thinking and the soundness of their engineering. Some time passed (with a flirting involvement with a 2CV, belonging to the then ladyfriend) and my next Ciroen purchase was a 3 year old XM. 2.5 diesel VSX estate. I picked it up very cheap, compared to others available because it had multiple faults and the garages would not touch it. Without writing a book about it I sorted it and did 248,000 miles in it before the head cracked across and sold it after repair to buy a 58 plate C5 Exclusive saloon. In the meantime I had 3 company car Xantias, purchasing the last one when I left. I needed a big estate so, traded the C5 for Volvo V70. After a year with that I started looking for another C5 but the tourer. Soon learning the good ones were rare as hens teeth. Now I have one!!! 60 plate 2.0l exclusive fully loaded one previous lady owner with full Citroen history. That members is not a joke, it's absolutely true. Paid slightly over the odds for it but despite its history it does have a few issues. I am working on those as I write. So I will be seeking collective wisdom in due course...... Wishing you all much success in what ever you do and thanking you you for accepting my membership. Robin
