Citroen X Rally


Six-cylinder

Recommended Posts

This weekend has been the Citroen X Rally  near Milton Keynes, featured Citroens being those with X in the model name.

Because it is the 40th birthday of the BX this year I got mine out early season and took it along to form a gathering of 20 Citroen BXs.

All Citroens were welcome so I also found a volunteer on the Rally field to help me get my Ami there as it is my new toy! I believe my young volunteer enjoyed his work as he got to drive my Mercedes CLK back from MOT before delivering the BX GTi to the rally field for me.

I also got to try a couple of cars and was lent a 2009 Pluriel 1.4 manual for a run out and @GoGently kindly let me drive his 2014 C3 1.2 turbo 80 bhp while helping me get my cars home.

ah ok. Will keep an eye out for that next time then.  Would be nice to go somewhere other than work and back in the XM now it's up and running

There are another two Citroen Car Club events at the same venue this year, including the National D Rally (aimed at DS and ID) and the Chevrons (aimed at all models). All models of Citroen are welcomed to attend both events. @Six-cylinder and I usually manage to sneak in a Visa or two, along with the XM, ZX, C15 and whatever else is road-legal and on the drive at the time.

D Rally: 10-12 June 2022

thanks. Will look to head out to one of those


Yeah, CCC events always very welcoming and usually open to non-members for just a few quid more. I went for years as a non-member before joining up. TBH Club XM has everything you need for XM life (as I think you are finding as I still read it regularly, though my old XM is on here with @chodweaver) but I thought it was nice to contribute and the monthly magazine is worth a read.

 

Hope to see you at the Chevrons rally!

I was at a few citroen rallies a few years ago. I was at that location twice, must be about 8 or 9 years ago. The first time there I had a 07 daily c5 hdi in white, and the next time a well known xantia activa. I bought another xantia off citro Jim another time, and have also been to citroen events with a c4 vts, a pug 205, and a fiesta van which I left outside lol

My old C5 was there, looking absolutely awesome. Clearly sold it to the right person! Having some regrets about selling now mind you...

Ditto @dollywobbler I should have kept it and spent some money, but I'm glad it went to two further good homes and didn't become bean tins. Sniff 😢
