Citroen XM

#1 Post by Rover216man »

This is the Citroen XM. An Ebay purchase that's turned out to be better than expected. Just need to sort a droplink and a few light scratches.

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.

Well done! That said, I believe that the XM is always better than anyone expects it to be. :)

I've never owned one but I've driven several and if I were in the market for a big, comfortable modern cruiser any time, one of these would even squeeze the last of the RWD Volvos into second place on that particular wish list.

Ay up!

Nice, very nice indeed. I've found most of my Citroens to be fairly reliable. The diesel had been an abused baby so I can forgiver her that.....
If in doubt, give it a clout!

If that don't work, fetch a bigger 'ammer!
