Where is Jim Eastment? Who are you and what have you done with him. We've had "him" driving Chris570's Tweaked Activa and enjoying it, and now seeing cars off at the lights!
There's something amiss!
No, honestly it is me, the real CitroJim, and yes, I'm enjoying, by my standards, being a right hooligan
A whole new world of fun has opened up
Both Chris's Activa and the C1 just makes you drive them with spirit. Honestly it is a real hoot to burn off a far larger and more powerful car at the lights in such a little thing as the C1. It behaves like an energetic little kid around adults. The big cars will catch it quickly past about 70 but in the initial stages very little seems to be able to catch it.
Yesterday on the A303 I had another C1 come flying past me at well over the speed limit and I never did catch that one although it was in my distant sight for a good few miles..
The sprint performance of the C1 raises some eyebrows to those driving far larger and presumably more expensive hardware!
I really hope the new generation C1/108/Aygo has managed to preserve the spirit and character of the original and we don't see the loss as we did with the 206 and 207 which never came close to the utterly wonderful car they supposedly replaced: the 205.
What amazes me is how the seats and driving position are so good in the C1.
And the pedals are so light I can drive it in bare feet
Today, hopefully, Team WFA will be refitting XM strut tops
Just enjoyed reading it
Cars...
