If I could only find a spare Activa to put it in! I read on howmanyleft that there's only 33 taxed Activas left.. that's less than the amount of surviving DRK 3-wheelers :shock:

Gosh Mike, that's amazing :shock:

Makes it so important to look after the remaining ones and perhaps even rescue a few if possible. How many are on SORN?

Small numbers however you look at it. Very small when you consider how many were imported.. Over 900 I believe...

I've not seen one for sale for ages either, apart from the one that was up past you a few months ago.

So out of the few that are left in the future, there might well be more converted with the V6, and very few with a CT.

Could well be, it might make the CT a very rare and desirable Activa!

I keep thinking I'd like another. It'd not work for me though, and I haven't seen a decent one for sale for yonks. I need a car I can use often, I hate to have them sat around doing nothing for weeks on end. Hence why I came to work in the DRK today..

My Activa is properly tucked up for winter and is not moving at all until spring...

My C1 is also tucked up for a while... I have daughter's Pixo here for a service and I'm using that for the next couple of weeks...

Yes, but yours get used plenty in the summer Jim. I can't understand those who have cars that they say have only done 50 miles in the last year or whatever. It baffles me as to why you'd have a car and not enjoy driving it. I actually felt quite guilty I hadn't run the DRK for nearly a month! I did about 70 miles in it yesterday

Obviously each to their own, but I don't get it myself.

It must feel very different not to be Active8ted by 8-) LHM, and enjoying the benefits of a ARCS 8-) vehicle, as a daily driver.
Excuse me for quoting myself, but there is a reason for it.

I forgot to add this note to the previous post.

When I am not in the Activa, and end up driving another car for whatever reason, I miss the 8-) Activa, and the way it drives.

Nothing else comes close, and I can't wait to get back in it again.
