Meet The New Shite, Same As The Old Shite


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ten years ago I bought a silver XM 2.5TD hatchback. Five years later I scrapped it and replaced it with a silver XM 2.1TD estate. Now it's time for a change, so my new shite isn't a silver XM - it's a red one. 

 

This time I've gone for the 3.0 V6 as one turned up just down the road. It's a W-reg and so about as late an XM as you can get. There was no collection thread as it was only a few miles away, but I did stop for petrol on the way back for the traditional petrol station shot.

It's not perfect by a long shot, and the milage is rather high, but it's got an electric armrest. What more could you ask for?

What's the electric armrest?   For when the crime doesn't warrant the whole chair?  Nice car, though!

DIRAVI.

Magical self-changing cambelts.

Headlights that aren't shit but still have complex lenses in place so not to dazzle drivers.

Decent parts supply.

 

And of course...

A V6 XM of my own.

Yes, all those things would be nice, especially the non-shit headlights. I suspect it won't be too long before one of the things you've listed becomes a problem.
