I bet a 'project' XM would be just what you need Bandit, and what's more you've got 'official permission' for it...

Hmmmm, well it's more the case of it's just what I don't need - a project car that is. I've got the Xantia to get under and get all greasy with to strip parts worth flogging and there's some impending work on the 16V and I really ought to get to the bottom of the TD rumbles still when doing the cornering thing.

And I'm really trying to do less with cars, so ideally I'd want an XM to hit the deck running. A Bosch powered 2.1 with no chips and elektrickery would fit the bill so long as it had good history. I just think The Silver Shed would be a step too far

Is that a general open offer to anyone? If so, is there any info on what state it's in these days?

Charlie must be dead! Last time we spoke about this he wanted 200 sheets. Maybe if I wait another few months he'll end up giving me money to take it away!

I see him Saturday so I'll mention your post to him Mr R

well Saturdays been and gone

and bandit is now the wanna be owner of one silver shed

ands i cant stop laughin

I am? I only went down to pick up some galvanised sheet........then I mentioned Dave's post.........then he took me round back to show me the XM........all I wanted was to have a look.............and then I started to

Truth be told, it's far better than I remember mate and I hadn't quite realised how much work you'd done and it seems to need little doing to make it ready for MOT.

So it appears I've been duped into doing a U-turn and I'll fettle and play with the XM in my 'spare' time so long as it can stay in your back yard till she's ready to fly.

You know it makes sense

All this is very unsettling....

What's happening with the broken GS Mr Dyane?????????????????????????????

Very little very slowly... The difficulty is that the G is in Durham at my parents house, and I live in Liverpool now. Usually when I go back to Durham I end up fixing my parents cars (case in point, spent most of last weekend working on Land Rover) or doing the kind of work on mine that is best not done in the street. I will sort it though. Eventually...
