Thought I'd be a little cheeky and post up wondering who you chaps were that took a snap of my little white Citroën AX from the drive home today?

I noticed a good handful of rather nice cars (430 scuderia, 911's, Corvette's and e30 m3's) at the toll booths and somebody snapping a picture of my car surprisingly lol

Also the chap in the 106 GTI that got a rolling photo??

Been an excellent week, cheers to the nice chap in the 458 near calais that gave it a quick squirt of the throttle after a thumbs up.. made my passengers day! smile

Cheers

Did you AX have a sticker on the back saying 'Government approved high speed test vehicle' or something to that effect?'

I saw one like that on the drive back smile

Hi, it was me in the black gti
i havn't uploaded pics to my lappy yet, i got two pics 1 'rolling' and the other i got
when i stopped for wee at peage, i didn't plan on stopping for pic's but i was early
for ferry so must have stood there for nearly 2 hrs until the battery went dead on my
phone..
i've got a black s1 rallye also which at the moment is awaiting a 16v engine and box.

Does your Ax have the low ratio gearbox same as s1 rallye ,if so i guess your journey
was at 5000 rpm + ?

No pics but I did give you a quick beep when I passed you on the autoroute.

I was in the little black clio with Tdi Power on the sides with blue wheels. Was passing fairly quickly and only recognised the car last second!

That's the one!

Cheers smile

Was tempted to drop a cog with you being the only 106 GTI I'd seen over there (unlike back in the UK..! lol) but decided against it.
Gearbox on the car at the moment isnt as low ratio as the s1 rallye, more like a GTI box with a slightly longer FD.. Although we were sat at about 5k most of the way there anyway smile

Curtis - you wouldn't have been the first car motoring at pace back up north wink
