Citroens and Hetres

[IanA]

I was looking at Citroen pics on flickr when I came across this shot.  Thought it might appeal to the group.

Yeah, that's pretty funny/neat.

That link took me down the internet rabbit hole and led me to this:

I think it caught my eye after riding with a couple of folks with double TT bikes earlier today.

Nice... I spent a year (many years ago) working for Peugeot Motors of America (who purchased Citroen in the 70s).  There was a photo in the office of a Citroen driving down a street in Paris with the rear right wheel completely missing... Amazing hydraulic suspensions on those cars.  I also had the opportunity to run a few errands for the company in one of those Citroen panel trucks (just like the gray one pictured)... required double-clutching... A fun (if not scary) adventure wrestling this beast down the highways of North Jersey.

Thanks for sharing those pics, Ian.

great photo of the rando.  not particularly fond of the car - no offense

thought I always like the movie gag where they tear them in half and the front end keeps running

Reminds me of a place (http://www.excelsiormotors.com/) I stumbled upon when living in Lexington, KY and (bike content) riding in the middle of the Bluegrass region on the way to the Woodford Reserve Distillery for a tour. The guy is a methodical mechanic to the stubborn owners of Citroens far from their maker who want their cars to work and be right. There was no reason I could imagine for so many to be in such an improbable place.

Well that's MY grand-campeur. It's so very cool, and now you all know why I want a diagono-Bomb.
