I fully agree Robert The 2.1 is the best oil-burner PSA ever made.

Nothing wrong with the EPIC. If it leaks or it stops stopping when it should the bits cost about a tenner to fix it...

And they're infinitely easier to take apart than either a Lucas DPC or a Bosch VP20.

i can get 30mpg out of mine over here if i just drive in a sensible way so i can believe 39mpg, just going to tesco's and back with runs under 2 miles see's 23mpg which is fine, in fact the TCT does the same MPG as my auto xm except having more power available means it can use more fuel if you want to, which being the Activa you do.

Merc E300TD...nice and steady..0-62 in 8s and 137mph...

For those of you who don't get to the FCF very often, here are some of my pictures from the National last weekend.

It begins very Activa related .... there are others later ....

My silver Activa and Franklins (Dukes) Activas:









This was brilliant, an Ami 6 Estate:




Matthew's fantastic PRV 24v V6 Manual XM, my favourite car there. I really enjoyed the run out in it.





Whos is this very nice S1 SED with French style plates and S2 mirrors? It looks great.










More to follow, XM ones too.

Looking at this picture, it's hard to understand why Citroen moved from smoked rear lights to clear ones. Fashion, hey?

A chap called Ray. He's the Tall chap on the front of the rally programme.

You mean the other tall chap Will! I have met Ray and his wife at several CCC events and they are both very nice and love their XM. On the programme I also spotted my head and V612v with the bonnet up, plus several other familiar faces!! With regards, Matthew T.

You can just see me in that picture. I'm the sunburned head by the passenger door and that's my Lexia on the road...

Not sure what I was doing there. Trying to find the diagnostic socket maybe?

Nice pictures Chris - especially our two Activa's together. I was sitting over on the other side of the field and saw you taking them when you pulled in on the Friday - I was looking forward to seeing them! Nice shot of the Visa line-up from the Saturday as well. Matthew's 24v is brilliant isn't it! I'd love a 24v... As would everyone else too!

I too spotted some familiar faces in that picture!

Hmmmm not many people took much notice of my 24v LAST YEAR then...

Even giving "Proper Hard" test runs aswell..

Never mind, mathew will have competition next year when I have mine all in great order. Ive got the Engine cover sorted, Ive found some red HT leads to clean up, just need to sort out a 24v Rocker Cover off the spare engine...

Im going to keep mine leagal this time round and hope to come to more Meets next year, most certainly CXM...

I could very well have a spare one early next year...
