Alternative ways of driving a Xantia.
Yee Haa! It might be the camera angle but that Ferrari appears to lose an awful lot of ground to the Xantia

I'm sure I could just about see the thread dragging the butterfly aroundDickieG wrote:For something more serene, Ahh
although not the gear lever!
The car looks so smart I quite fancy buying one AND the earlier steering
wheel is far FAR nicer than later attempts too...

Has to be an Activa as my car would be scraping its sill at the same speedDickieG wrote:Taking another look at the first video it must be an Activa due to the lack of roll compared with the Ferrari.

Well things may change with my job and i wont be doing 30k a year, maybe then i could justify it especially if i could squeeze 38mpg out of it, wait and see as it would compliment the Maestro nicely.

The Ferrari is nevertheless being driven like a hearse....!Is that what's called being totally committed? I can still hear the tyres' pain!
Their squeal heard is probably the Xantia driving around the outside of the Ferrari...

You have to keep an open mind on things like that XM.
Its not overall to my personal taste, but i do like some of the things....the thin tail pipes for example are awesome for example
A maroon car will always be difficult to make look good in my opinion and the tow bar definately needs to go...as does the one on my Xantia

Don't be too hasty about that Vince A Towbar can be very useful and they're almost a standard item on any Xantiavince wrote:...as does the one on my Xantia
If you have a Witter towbar, it is very easy to slip off the swanneck holding the ball and the bar itself is almost invisible then. They also look a lot better and a lot more discreet if you paint them the same colour as the car.
One thing though, some think they're great if someone runs into the back of you. This is true up to a point but on a Xantia, how the bar mounts to the underside of the boot floorpan may cause a lot of unseen damage if someone really gives it a good shunt
