The Dutch XM Club (which celebrated its 10th anniversaray last year) had a New Year's meeting annex front drive train workshop today, which I visited. Something in between 40 and 50 cars showed up, in various conditions. Very few estates, by the way - I saw only two!
There was only one, however, that had no dents and a near-perfect paint coat: Mine.  One particular S2 V6 Exclusive had had an expensive repaint job. Unfortunately, the respray was done over dented doors and front fenders. One front fender actually had traces of rust UNDER the new paint coat. I mean, at least sand it off before you apply paint to surface!  Unfortunately, the parking lot of the Cit specialist that hosted the event wasn't big enough to hold all cars. The pic here:  shows the first five cars that arrived. Mine is the one on the left (with the parking sensors). --------------------  2000 XM Berline 2.1 TD Automatic |

If it was the first five that arrived, then the ones inside the garage could already be there for servicing, is that what the OP means?
Still a nice turn out! Steve. -------------------- XM 2.1 SED - RP5876

The picture shows 6 hatchbacks outside, there is a green one hiding towards the back, next to the grey one.

I wouldn't have thought it would have happened at all for 9 years. I suppose there may be the odd second hand specialist that puts some of their cars inside, but I have only ever seen new models inside garages. -------------------- 94M XM 2.5 TD VSX Estate RP 6430 Forest Green
