just bought Craigmanc's Activa, and boy is it fun to drive!
needs a few minor things sorting, but the engine purrs.

Jim's giving tehagent and myself a lift down to pick it up on Saturday morning, and I'll be spending the weekend driving it down to the south coast and back (so hopefully time enough to hear it's name).

the last time I had a petrol car was 12 years ago, so I've got to make sure I don't fill it with diesel (or veg!)

it's definitely going to be a now and again fun car, seeing as I get only 30mpg out of my 1.9TD's, so I'm expecting in the region of 12mpg from this!

Good one Xac, Dont forget there is hardly any low down torque at idle for traffic crawling so be careful with the clutch.....

Yeah I can invision plenty of kangaroo juice and stalls.
That's one of the many things I hate about petrol cars.
Will just have to floor it and scream away from every traffic light

Congrats Xac, and welcome to the club.

Well, that of course depends on the engine of the petrol car...
