Driving In A Winter Wonderland............

I haven't been on the forum much lately.......I've been having too much fun in the snow..........



Sorry about the picture quality but I took them with my mobile phone........



Thought I'd make the most of it as we don't get much snow up here these days......



Anyone else been playing in the snow?.............

Excellent pictures, i wish we had that kind of snow here Is that your Turbo or TD?

We have had very little snow, its not even worth mentioning! The Xm is in hinding though.

Thing is, would you find yours in the snow Chris!?
Paul, I can hear your Xm's rear pipes and sills dissolving down here in South Wales...

Whilst the rest of the country has been making snowmen, I've just successfully MOT'd
3 Citroens = 2x Xm and Ix Xantia over the last few days - my eyes are still watering...

Thats true, it would blend in white well

I hate the salt on the road this time of year, make me cringe, which is why i dont use the Xm while there is salt around.

You have been busy, which of your Xms are those?

I see what you did there Chris!

I love the story I heard the other day about Heathrow Airport closing a few years back as it
couldn't use it's snow ploughs after a bad deep snow. Apparently they were kept out in the
field UNDER WHITE TARPAULINS! The only person who knew where they were located was
snowed in at home too!! Probably not true but a good laugh anyway!

The MOT'd cars?

Well the W plated 2.1TD auto, a 2.0i H plate manual in blue and a TD Xantia SX estate with
237,777 miles!! Black Activa last month and my new V6 24v Xantia and the recently acquired
red 2.5TD Xm next month. They think I'm bonkers at the local MOT place I've used for years;
can't think why mind! Maybe because it's £45 a pop!

Nice pics Paul

I love driving in the snow, but didnt get a chance to take the xm out as im doing a few little bits on it

Heres mine in the snow anyway.





And the view that greeted me as i left the house for work monday morning



Not as much as other places, but its snow on the isle of wight, we usually only get rain

Good point Andrew.........I guess I'm going to have to pay the price for my recklessness .

That's my 2.0 turbo Chris........the 2.1 is without an MOT at the moment and it looks like it may become a donar car in the near future .

Dean.....don't you mean the Isle of White

Very pretty. A coventry registered car if I'm not mistaken.

That was unintentional

Ah, how is the Xantia now? All the better for its bi-fuel experiment?

Thats a good milage, although ive seen a lot more on Xantias. One black one we used to look after, a nice early VSX in fantastic condition. It looked and drove like a very low mileage car, but it had over 330K last time i saw it

Xantias really do wear their miles well, they also seem to suffer less from rust than the Xms too. Excellent cars the Xantias

Andrew, £45 a go! How do you manage to pay so much! We use a garage which charges £26 for an MOT. However i take my cars to the Ford dealer! They charge £20 and have never failed one of the cars yet.

Minijet, its looking in good condition, its a nice colour that green. I remember you saying about your TD now actually, its a shame but if it keeps others going

Great pictures gents but... how do I get to put pictures with my messages ?

Colin, do you want to add your own pictures?

If you make an account on www.photobucket.com, upload your pictures to there and copy and past the bottom link of each picture. Then it will appear on here as a picture.



Chris.

Can you guess what this is?

I wonder

Nice Xm to the left!

Renault Alpine!?

Andrew

Thanks Chris, Andrew (Andmcit) has posted a brilliant set of instructions on how to do this on the "pictures" thread that i started a short while ago

Cheers, Colin.P
