Thought y'all might like to see an interesting car that's in my shop. According to the owner, it's pretty much original ...........

Michelin? In Slough? I had no idea. I've been trying for twenty years to find one of those with a bad engine/transmission and no rust. Actually any one with no rust.

Actually any one with no rust. www.autoscout.com or mobile.de Of course then you have to figure out how to get it stateside. I have seen quite a few of these at different auto museums here in Europe, very interesting cars. Citroen in general has a tendency to create interesting design elements in their cars to include the modern ones you see now. I thought several of the new designs were pretty cool but am leary about trusting anything made by the French just because getting parts to repair them would be difficult. |

I liked one description, a "gangstercar". 3/4 size, of course. They do come up occasionally on e-Bay, much cheaper than those in Europe, but they seem to always have rust problems. And it's French rust, so much more difficult than that fine German rust.... |
