I am an Activaist-v6 and a 2.1Estateerr

YTep......I thought gold was a little OTT

Mind you, gold is considered to be the best heat deflector. I mean, McLaren used the stuff to line the engine bay of the McLaren F1 supercar.

Yes it is.....but I am not that much of a tart ...or that rich

[CitroJim]

You need to get the hens to lay some golden eggs Alasdair

[Stickyfinger]

plan......but feeding them nuggets is the problem....I hate MacDonalds

(and the Marxist one as well and would chop him up and feed him to the chickens if I could catch him )

[Stickyfinger]

well I can now fit in the car (it has a sunroof remember) with a helmet on now I have an extra 1cm headroom. Spacers removed, carpet trimmed and motors secured high with cable ties. You cannot see it has been done.

[CitroJim]

Amazing how thick the foam is Alasdair...

Almost as thick as my head...

If you've ever driven a Xantia sans carpets you'll know just what a good sound-deadening job it does

[elma]

Indeed, it was quite a relief to get the carpets back in mine. If an increase in noise bothers you Alasdair there are some good acoustic dampening materials available that are quite thin.

[Stickyfinger]

No increase in noise at all....you only need to trim the carpet under the rails and over the under seat cross member....the rest stays in.

[elma]

I may do the same then eventually. I really don't like the increased height of the leather seats. The cloth Vsx and Activa ones are noticeably lower.

[Stickyfinger]

Switched to "track spec" Ferodo pads, put on the Conti Super Sport tyres/wheels to save the Pilots from being destroyed on the track, general checks, oil change and a quick clean up/polish to be ready for the Nats/FCS next weekend

[CitroJim]

Alasdair, which day is it you're going to the National? I know you told me but my brain is still far from good and remains full of cotton wool and other assorted bits of useless padding where short-term memory should be...

Activa is looking utterly stunning!

[Stickyfinger]

Sunday Jim, arrive Sat night with David & Robert (BL) from the FCShow at Donington

[CitroJim]

Perfect. I shall see you Sunday Complete with bike in the back of the Activa

Looking forward to it

[Quackers]

Does this mean i may spot an Activa or 2 at the french car show?

[Stickyfinger]

3 x V6.Activa will be there...a rare event
