Hi all, Thought i'd share my latest purchase with you: Apologies for the photo, it would seem my phone isn't amazing in direct sunlight. Anyway its a 1995 Citroen Xantia Activa. 2 Litre Turbo CT (Constant Torque) Engine. Pretty trick Active hydropneumatic suspension, hydraulic rams stop the body roll at 1 degree. As a result it stays insanely flat and handles fantastically! Whilst still being insanely comfortable over potholes! Video says it all for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09-C33SrJi8 It's a record holder as well (Well the V6 model technically speaking): Holds the record for a test held by a Swedish motoring magazine, the "Elk" or "Moose" test. The test that the Merc A-Class fell over on when it was first launched. The Xantia holds the fastest speed of 85kph, faster than Audi R8, Porsche 911 GT2 etc etc.... http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/citroen-xantia-activa Anyway I bought it for £600! Its in very good condition with the exception of a crease in the NS rear quarter, all new sphere's (all 10 of them in an activa!) in the last couple of years, looked after by an enthusiast. The guy I bought it off had 16 cars, 13 of which were Citroens! So far hasn't missed a beat, god forbid if it does though, things will be pricey to replace!! Edit: I forgot the best bit of this car by far. Massive sleeper, no one ever suspects the Xantia!
