Terrible whats happening in France but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining... 1,173 cars burnt so far (all french hopefully)... another 25 million or so still out there, anyone got any matches?

I especially like the hydro-spastic suspension, what a winner!

If they had adapted it then I suppose it could have excellent potential?

Mind you, they made a Citroen BX Rally car...I think it may have even been a Group B! :shock:

My late Granddad always had Citroen's, as did and still does my uncle :roll: ... What gets me is the feel of the brakes! ever tried em??? Has the feel of a brick! Mainly due to it being a microswitch not brake fluid your foot pressed against :shock: also as a bonus if the engine died on the older models so did your suspension and brakes :shock: Don't know if the new un's are the same but lets hope not....

Sticking with my original option, burn em all!!!!!!

Peugot and Citroen can all burn away

I had a Citroen Xantia 1.9TD for a couple of years, never gave me any problems at all. I will always hold it close to my heart although with the crazy suspension it felt like you were driving whilst bungie jumping!! :lol:
