Could you weld them all together into a MegaCitroen ?

Looking at some of the ones in that listing, I'm not sure there'd be that much to weld to? :lol:


A decent DS is abolutely miles out of my price range whereas one that I could afford I sure as hell wouldn't want (work :roll: ). I think DS's are very beautiful, but not as interesting technically as a CX, so don't have the same attraction to me. A decap though... mmmm... I wouldn't mind one of those!

Well if you buy the DS or CX's ask me I have had a shed load of them. The DS is the only French car I have ever missed.

Not bad for 1955

A photographer I knew had a Safari, the perfect car for carrying his stuff and for suggesting he was a bit left-field. Much nicer than the CX one of my bosses had. I've also had both a GS and BX GTi as company cars.
The BX was a 16V - an absolute hoot. Rapid, especially for its day, but you did wonder what was going to fall off it if you ragged it too hard.

Same engine as the 405Mi16 that everyone raved about, but quicker because the car was lighter!
Some of the trim in series 1's was a bit flimsy but Series 2s fine.
