Think their no claims bonus may be at risk with this one:



Car:
1992 Citroen XM

Description:
While driving out of a parking lot, the brakes failed and the car got caught on someone's balcony.

Location:
Ankara, Turkey

New method for getting better access to the rear centre sphere?
Or was it a scene edited out of Ronin or a Bond film?

Lucky the car's as long as it is!!

Andrew

Bet they're glad it had a towbar fitted just the day before!!

Andrew

Nice to see xms are exotics, the redhead will be well impressed now!

cheers

Hi Andrew,

Congratulations - that's a classic!

Damn lucky it got caught on the balcony by the look of it. I bet they couldn't do that a second time!

I wonder what went through the drivers head when he realised where he was.

You should send it in to the Citroenian (Citroen Car Club magazine). They've been running a series of caption competitions recently and this would take some beating.

Cheers

What's the betting the REAL reason for this calamity was the autobox selector digits
on the dash not showing D or R and he unwittingly accelerated out of the space...

backwards!!

He'd look a real numpty telling everyone that, but blame the car instead as it's a Citroen,
and nobody would ask awkward questions!

Wonder if it's a V6!!
It's got colour coded mirrors/scuttle trim and black door strips!?

Andrew

hmmmmm

could it be the one im lookin for

Looking good... though you might want to fit a new sump when you buy it Charlie

I saw this a few years back on that site and went to post it to XM-L at the time, but realised they don't allow attachments and then just plain forgot about it, good to see it resurface

Pity about that, its a nice colour!

Mmmm it is, I was actually surprised it wasn't green though!

Hi all.

Surely it's just standing by for permission to launch ???!!!

Mike.

Standby for action!

Pity it wasn't green. My S2 is actually called 'Thunderbird 2' by my family

Maybe it WAS green and ripened in the Turkish sunshine!!!
