Or should that be county! Not only are there lots of Xantia's in this area, on Saturday i saw TWO YES TWO Green Activa's in the same car park (Asda). One was an N reg and the other and R, plus mine of course made 3 Activa's in one car park! Common as muck!

Cor!
If I saw that, I'd be grinning from ear to ear all the way home

Should have stuck a bit of paper behind the wipers directing them to the FCF

I saw the R reg one at the local waste disposal site, i wasnt in the Xant though and he was only there two minutes so didnt have a chance to have a word with him. No doubt i will at some point. Still think its weird, but cool at the same time!

I have encountered Activae at three seperate local supermarkets, and also another around the corner from home which was a 16v n/a one.

Mine can normally be found in a tesco car park lol, there are 4 activas within 5 miles of me, 2 are on my drive, 1 at my fathers and 1 very local. I still look at every xantia to see if theres another though

Last year I saw a red Activa while I was on holiday in Majorca. The owner had put a 4x4 sticker on the back end.

I was in Alcudia at the time (north of the island).

The only other Activa I've seen is in Newport Pagnell

Speaking of sparse finds, a Goddess was pulling away from a juction in the distance on the way to my local RoADAR group this evening. I was

Same here, although as others have adopted the spoiler, and have even put Activa rims on cars that are not Activas, you end up looking for the badge. Although as its not on the rear in most cases, thanks Citroen, this means looking at the door, and that's not easy getting a glimpse when you are moving.

A while back in slow moving traffic, I took a quick look across at an Xantia next to me, but going the opposite way, and it ended up, that we were both viewing each others badges at the same time, he was not driving an Activa.

So, we ended up noticing that we were doing the same thing, and we both exchanged glances, and smiled, but as he looked up you could also tell that he was wondering what an Activa was.

Many badges consist of numbers I.E. 2.016v etc there are words on others like turbo diesel etc, but the Activa badge is different, and to most people a rare sighting.

Yes that is me, chief badge spotter. I spotted an exclusive on Monday whilst waiting for it to go past on the roundabout, if i hadnt been facing the side i would never have known

There is a dante red xantia (diesel i think) where i live and i was following it one day, Brigsygtt was going the other way and was that busy looking at it because it looks like mine that he didnt see me behind it!
