Last night I won a 1986 Citroen CX diesel in a roffle which will need collecting at some point. This thread is to document the experience.
Sounds like absolute madness, but I had to laugh as I read your post as you won it in a 'ROFL' which sounds entirely plausible 
Good luck with it
We had three and they were truly awesome things.
One, my dad drove at 70 mph down the M6 with a completely flat, rear tyre for 10 miles.
It still drove in a perfectly straight line, DIRAVI, and eventually just sounded like a dodgy road service.
Another one, I borrowed when my van was off the road and discovered a double 12 ladder would fit inside with the tailgate closed.
Enjoy.

I ran CX DTR Safari's for about 10 years and many thousands of miles, brilliant cars. The first really refined diesels and superb steering and handling. There was a saying about when I bought my first one that ' if you drove one for less than half an hour you would never want to drive it again and if you drove it for more than half an hour you would never want to drive anything else' I fell into the latter category. They really were different but once you got used to them, fantastic.
