    Was good enough for Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz, I know they made the system for RR. I own a C5 and am very happy with it, but I do look after it. First time I've seen inside a cut-away sphere and as they say it's simple and clever, there's no springs on the car.

      Living in eastern Europe I see many cars imported from the west. They are often in better condition than cars which are already here. Repair and reuse is better for both the users and the environment than the scandal of serviceable vehicles being prematurely 'recycled'.

    Just recently bought myself a '99 XM in mint condition. These are marvellous cars and the last REAL Citroens. And prices are rising, since DS and CX become unaffordable these days.
    One little remark on your XM: It's got an automatic transmission and you should have changed the transmission oil. It's an easy job and the 4HP18 is notorious for failing when the oil is not changed regularly. It happened on my previous XM I owned years ago.
    Other than that, I do like your channel !
