hmm.. one them hiding way is a series 1 turbo

I could add to my current collection of 2 of those...

I don't have one with a sunroof, either...

Mind you, that's with good reason!

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?

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

). 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.

I have 5 CXs already and my dad had 3 others before that

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.
