Great stuff, are you there Saturday or Sunday?

Anyone else going.

If I can I will camp over, but otherwise it'll be the Sunday.

I'm hoping to go to this. In the CX hopefully, BX otherwise.

Is it really a three dayer or does specific stuff happen on each day? It'll be the Saturday for me as I'll be at the National Microcar Rally the day after (scaring the little bubble cars if I'm in the enormous CX!)

I'll be there Saturday. Sunday I have to go to Duxford for the Battle of Britain Air Show.

Anyone camping there Friday night????

Not planning to. Hoping to drive down on the Sat, stop the night then head over to the Microcar Rally at Malvern.

I will be there both days and if I don't get the time to refit it, in a 2-seater Activa.

The back seats and boot carpet are currently out and drying off following a bad leak during last week's rain.

It's promising to be a very good CXM this year...

Mine too, up at the crack of dawn washing mine and a good blast with the hose revealed no leaks

I shall return it to being a 4-seater this afternoon and then polish it.

Not to your standards though Tim

You know, I'm expecting to see a very showroom-fresh Xantia well up to the normal Leech standard...

Bang goes any chance I might have of a concours again with yours in attendance!!!

From one CCC columnist to another, may I say another fine BX column this month from you and Justin

I adore the dash in that 16TRS

Why oh why did they discontinue it...

Sadly not Jim, its an unrestored 131'000 miles car with a few battle scars so wont be winning anything, but even so it will the furthest journey Ive drive in her since 1997!

Well Saturday was a fair turnout, the CX 2 door spider drew a few wows! weather was great too, wonder if today will be the busier day, just one BX yesterday which decided to pop the main feed pipe to make it presence felt (sounda familiar!)

A good turn out with over 20 CXs and at least 19 XMs.

Some pics:

Two XMs reunited, the pearlescent maroon one is Nigel's… it's the one I brought back from the Alps. This car features heavily in the following. Boy, was it shiny!

Lovely V6 Xantia

And the scene of out late night chin-wag… (Waking up this morning was, let's say, interesting!)
