Man of Honour
Booked it in for new front pads/discs then hopefully that should be the last thing to keep it happy until next years service.
After pa's previous toy got stolen last year we've been without a project.
I went to look at a 1968 Citroen ID19 today.
We are no longer without a project.
Awesome, lovely cars! Pics needed!
Sorry the Landie wasn't recovered.
It's just SO French in design. It's glorious, don't get cars like that anymore!
Imagine that it's 1955 and you're looking for a new saloon car for between £1000 and £1500.
You're probably about to trade in a facelifted pre-war design, something such as a Daimler Conquest or an Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire. Most likely, it had a separate chassis, rear drive, a huge 1930s-style radiator grille - complete with bonnet mascot - and either a vague suggestion of separate wings or half-hearted American-style tail-fins.
You could go for something sporty: maybe an Alfa Romeo Giulietta or a Jaguar Mk1. You could try to impress the neighbours with a Mercedes-Benz 180 Ponton or a Lancia Aurelia.
Or you could recall a favourable comment a friend once made about Citroën's Traction Avant.
You find yourself, perhaps an hour later, in a dealership, staring gobsmacked at a machine that you’re not even sure is a car, but a form of transportation from the future that may well fly, float and take you into space as well.
You're admiring a Citroën DS: artform, technical tour de force, cultural icon, philosopher's muse, and yours for £1400 at the time.
That one is an Avin screen and my car is an F30. Mine I’d the older Android 7.1 variant but there is an 8.1 unit with faster CPU out now and a 9.0 unit coming soon.
