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

Re: Citrojim's V6 Conversion
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.CitroJim wrote:Small numbers however you look at it. Very small when you consider how many were imported.. Over 900 I believe...

Re: Citrojim's V6 Conversion
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.

Re: Citrojim's V6 Conversion
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 406 has been tucked away in the garage for a couple of weeks now, I think I'll take it for a spin tomorrow.

Re: Citrojim's V6 Conversion
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...

Re: Citrojim's V6 Conversion
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 yesterdayCitroJim wrote:My Activa is properly tucked up for winter and is not moving at all until spring...
