Gah!
I have LOADS of things to throw away, and more things to move.
And there's a CX Familiale on eBay for £500... 17ft of 8-seater, HUGE capacity, mad estate car. I know them backwards, I know all the quirks, and this one looks pretty tolerable. I'm seriously tempted; it'd be ideal for all sorts of abuse, it's a manual 2.2 so lacks all the bits that went wrong on my last CX Safari (a 2.5i Auto which died due to an £80 component).
It is, of course, that hateful pale metallic blue, but I could probably convince myself it's grey.
And with 93,000 miles on the clock, it's about 20K behind my last CX22, and that was running great until some pillock rammed it into a parked car :( (RIP, F980 JSO. You are missed).

Of course, he's away this weekend, so I can't take a trip and check it out - and no way would I bid on one of these without seeing it!
Also, Happy Birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thespirit3! What is with all these August birthdays... anyone would think 9 months before there was some sort of event where people had more to drink, more darkness to hide in, and more social interaction...
