Iced XM!

Nothing wrong with the C4...!

I'm only joking Franklin

Nice Plate Franklin!

Cheers Robert. Took a while getting used to it being on there but finishes it off nicely...

I'm only joking Franklin

I know Jim...

[russ92xmsed]

I'm almost jealous!!!

What of? That thing Franklin drives?

Or that lovely Corsa beside it?

Well Jim, Corsa's are just the best cars in the world so of course I'm green with envy!

Although I do like the C4 coupe very much, it's the snow ...we always get left out here.
I should not really be saying this, as when it does snow, it is a complete pain.

[CitroJim]

We're in much the same boat with the snow Russ. We never seem to have anything really severe here at all. But yes, it's a pain when it does - not so much for the snow itself but how everybody panics and runs around like Corporal Jones on speed. It never fails to amaze me how just half an inch grinds everything to a halt.

Monday it snowed a bit and at lunchtime there was serious consideration given to sending all non-essential staff home from work Final fall was about a quarter of an inch and that soon melted...

Friend of mine had a Corsa. She loved it. I thought it was hideous. She swapped it for an Agila. She hates it and reckons it's worse than the Corsa - something I thought was not possible...

[russ92xmsed]

Your quite right Jim, it's amazing how people in this country panic and everything falls apart at a little dusting of snow.
I'm not going to rant on!....But it looks like we are in for it on Friday.

Well your friend then also seems to dislike Suzukis to. Cos the Agila is not a real Vauxhall...it's a Japanese box
Don't the 1.2 engines have a big issue of imploding if something's isn't adjusted properly....sorry for the vagueness..me being technical there

The only thing I like about that model of Corsa, is the integration of the rear lights with the rear window. Quite neat. Only good thing about it!

[CitroJim]

Oh yes, it's a Suzuki all right and very, very closely related to my little girl's Nissan Pixo which too is a Suzuki. Both the Agila and Pixo are built in india... The Agila is just a Pixo in a slightly different body.

Funny thing is they're hideous in the extreme but they're fairly well screwed together and touch wood, Siany's not had a moment of bother with hers...

However, this cold snap is telling on both Suzukis. They don't like it up 'em and both mist up terribly... Both are not too happy to start in the deep cold either.

Siany has the little rough ans guts three-pot in her Pixo whereas the Agila has the four pot 1.2. Interesting they implode...

[russ92xmsed]

If it is the Opel unit I'm thinking of, there is a big issue which have caught out many people....even dealers too.

Suzuki stuff will be as tough as old boots, but totally boring. Well apart from the swift. The Pixo ect are very similar to Toyota and PSA trio. Love the sound of the three pot in a C1...like a GS or old 911.

Clearly though the Pixo prefers the Indian climate!

[CitroJim]

I believe, but may be quite wrong, that the three pot in the Suzuki is one and the same as the C1/107/Aygo one. It's ever such a dinky little thing. I feel as if I could pop it in my pocket - gearbox and all...

It's a very lively and willing little engine but rough when revved. One of my neighbours has a C1 and she loves to rev the nuts off it when stone cold - it sounds really stressed and acts as my 04:30 alarm call every morning when she goes to work

[russ92xmsed]

It could very possibly be, it's a Toyota unit, so could be used under license in the Pixo ect.
I love. A friend of mine, big Citroen fan...2cv owner several times, loves his C1.

Although one revving at 4:30 am is a little too much for me.

[russ92xmsed]

Well they weren't lying when they said it would do this!....


it's even being watched by the neighborhood
