Nothing better for a long journey than a big Citroen!

Hopefully no cycle races on the way!

Good luck with getting through England....

Got burned by a C5 Thursday night :(
We both went to overtake this twat in a Kuga doing 25-30 in a wide open national coutry road, and I couldn't keep up.
Then we were both doing about 80.... (kph obviously :roll: ) and he went round this corner no problem, I chucked my car into the same corner at the same speed and I had to lift off :lol:

That'll be the hydractive suspension.

I was in a Xantia with the earlier Activa version, the handling was uncanny for such a big soft car! Flat at 80mph!

I remember cornering a Ford Orion and the wishbones gave up! :shock: Nearly killed me that bloody heap.

Was reading about some test cycle race around London, and wondering did DiscoPol make it yet? Didn't hear any cycle massacres in the news.

Heard that on the radio this morning - cycle race was a success, but resulted in complete gridlock for other traffic. :roll:

(Guess Disco's included in 'other traffic').
