I have that feeling about my Activa too, excellentred_dwarfers wrote: I can't help but grin sometimes when I think that I've actually got a 2.1 TD XM with a manual box and a decent trim level![]()

She's looking good Kev, just be careful you don't make RUNN jealous... They do get jealous and sulk and you must make sure RUNN is getting plenty of attention too...

You'll enjoy Zig Zag Hill Kevred_dwarfers wrote: Back to the XM, should be finished by the weekend ready for a drive to see the sights of Dorset (including zig zag hill) with Toby_HDI.

I bought a long term test article of an Activa from a 1996 Topgear magazine, it arrived today. It features driving Zig Zag Hill in the Activa with pictures too.CitroJim wrote:You'll enjoy Zig Zag Hill Kevred_dwarfers wrote: Back to the XM, should be finished by the weekend ready for a drive to see the sights of Dorset (including zig zag hill) with Toby_HDI.

"We started our suspension-sussing tour of wriggly roads at the aptly-named Zig Zag Hill in Dorset. The Xantia took its 15mph second gear bends as flat as a post-juggernaut hedgehog"

Im sure you will enjoy driving that, I wish it was on my door step!

Before we got to zig zag we went up to Cheddar Gorge which was fun and I made a better attempt to keep up with him with sport mode on. Though before that bit we parked up for a natter, a potter around. A section of the conversation went as follows:
Me: Toby, look at that, I think thats a 605 over there, you don't see many of them about!
Toby: Yeah, quite right, quite a high spec level too.
Me: Seems a few interesting cars here, an old H reg Civic and one of those new Meganes over there.
Toby:


So pretty much 4 big unique Frenchies parked up within 25 metres of each other by complete chance. Not bad going!



All in all, a very enjoyable day was had with good company

Was a good day indeed. It is indeed nice to see it back Jim.
The run seems to have done some good and its running much smoother although still needs a good service. I'm surprised though that so far I've managed in excess of 200 miles on half a tank!
I was complaining the ARCS wasn't working 100% but even so, its a world apart from the Coupé in terms of handling. Time will have it running spot on.
Really, the only things that need doing are a service, HC clean and adjustment and RC adjustment. The exhaust also needs aligning as it is touching the chassis at times.
Thanks to Kev for the company and for my first sit in an XM! Before yesterday I'd never really seen one close up. Kev's really is a nice example.
Kev, what happened to the pictures that were taken at the top of Zig-Zag hill?
