Re: Citrojim's Xantia and XM Tales
What you need is a large, heavy duty seesaw. Work out the balancing points, then park the C1 on one side, and drive the Activa back and forth on the other side. That way they both get a workout!CitroJim wrote:Now I'm off to check over all of my cars. Despite the C1 being so new and fresh it's going to be subject to the same regime as the others on a weekly basis. Only problem is I've not yet worked out how to do Citarobics on it...

I wasn't going by price, just something to demonstrate a possible option to modifying a radio.
