purplebargeken Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 When Bub says he is on your doorstep, he is likely actually on your doorstep whilst still in an actual car. KruJoe, the judge, beko1987 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean36014 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Looking forward to seeing the next part of the story. Just been having a cuppa sat in the garden reading all the paperwork. Truly stunned to find receipts from 1998 in France I think. Looks like a previous owner travelled abroad and had it serviced there. Also enjoyed reading the ling term test of a zx 1.9d a avantage, the same version as mine. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yes, apparently the first owners had a house there, hence the high early miles! Just got to bubs, and he took his shirt off..

vulgalour Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 All Citroens, all the time. Why are there numbers on the roof of your caravan, Bub? Is it a high speed police pursuit caravan? Dick Longbridge, Skizzer, nacho man and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 A PURPLE James? *Spaff* O/T but what's the story behind that particular model? I literally had no idea other people like vacuums. I'm the person who reads other people's serial numbers and tells them how old they are - much to my wife's utter disgust. stephen01, For Fiats Sake, beko1987 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Dirty engineclean engine. Unfortunately can't read the engine number as the plate is corroded. Would be interested to know if it's original still. Cleaner engine after attacking it with various degreasing agents found in the shed.

beko1987 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Its a catalogue exclusive I think. Sit rep Currently at trowel services having a slap up meal for one. 38.2 miles into my ownership All is very well in xantia land. Theres a slight wheel shake at 65+, growing at 87 which is whwn I backed off. The wheels were quite warm when I pulled in, so I took the hubcaps off just incase its those, but a good balance up may be in order. Its also fucking hot in here with all this glass! Not sure if I find the front seats comfy or uncomfortable tbh, more testing is needed. So, over and out for now, gonna get down the road a bit Cavcraft, Dave_Q, purplebargeken and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
