Activa Article

Unread post by ACTIVE8 »

There is a new magazine out that is currently in circulation.

Although I normally find this sort of thing in the high street magazine library I.E. WH Smiths, this time it was different as it was on the shelf in Tescos.

The magazine in question is Modern Classics.

Which had a line under the title on the front cover, refering to their area of interest which is classics of the 80's, 90's & 00's. 8-)

So taking a quick look through it, it had several articles in it, but the one my attention was drawn to was the one on the Activa. 8-) 8-)

Excellent.
Just the sort of mag that's been missing.
There can be so much snobbery in classic cars, that something from the 80/90's isn't a classic.
I shall purchase!

This will have to be read. Finally one of the best French cars gets a little recognition. The only other decent article i ever read on the Activa was on the piston head site,someone on there tried one out and thought it was brilliant and so kept it for a while. :clap: :clap:

Picked up a copy in a Smith's during the week.

There's also an article on the C6 by the same guy (the editor), because apparently he's a Citroen fan :D

The rest of the mag is a good read and only 6 pages of ads in the first 60, so not bad 8-)
