Hi Peeps,

Just been out with the camera this morning, so thought I would share some of the pictures I took of my Dad's recently acquired new set of wheels. I posted his last version in the classic section...

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... Citroens used to be cool.

...but thought it might go down well here.

Enjoy.

You would think so, but in the world of classic Citroen values seems very odd to me. Lots of films featured DS's, but I can only remember a CX appearing in one film "Killing Zoe". Anyone know of any others?

Are those the heater and ventilation controls in the center, next to the handbrake?

And isn't that steering wheel funky!

That almost makes sense in a way...

But I suppose some people prefer to have the controls in their peripheral vision.

But not having to lean forward must be helpful.

Love it, a wonderfully quirky car that looks futuristic even today IMO.
Classic Citroens are a serious vice of mine....
