Thanks Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-D They are quite different from a normal Xantia and any other car really, I enjoy driving it, an awful lot! :-D

I'm looking forward to using mine a bit more now that 'summer' is here :roll:

I had an interesting day on Sunday, trying out different XMs. It is an achievement how Citroen managed to make so many different cars, out of the same car ... if you see what I mean.

I would have recommended the convoy drive on Saturday, definitely the most successful one as the four of us that went did the exact same route and arrived back at the exact same time. It did help that we were all in one car :lol: My Xantia HDi.

An Activa HDi Estate .... Well its as close as I'm going to get!

It will be back on its normal Exclusive wheels before long, unless I can find another pair of these Activa rims. I thought I would get some use from my two spare Activa rims and decent Michelins but the Activa has given up its fronts to make this a matching set of wheels so they wont be on long. I really like them and would like to keep this with Activa rims, so I'm on the look out for another pair.

Absolutely :-D Looks lovely Chris...

Jaap over on Club-XM has a set of Activa alloys up for grabs but the only problem is he's in Southern Ireland...

So long as the currier will bring you a chicken madras, some naan breads, and a lamb biryani then they'll do!
