Bought this yesterday.

Post by Mothman »

Bought myself a DS yesterday, M reg, Rhd and only 35K on the clock. A motor like this just dosnt come up very often. Was laid up in 1980 and only recently been put back on the road. Soon to be seen wafting about Cornish lanes.

Oh very nice, a real Citroen with a proper Citroen ride - if only they made a diesel one :(

May we ask - how much?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

Oh beautiful. I owned three but not as nice as that. The only Citroen where I ever experienced the true magic carpet ride.

You may ask but i cannot tell. However, it wasnt as much as it could have been. An investment really that wont be driven too much.

Had a look thinking it was going to be some boring C5.

This is nice and interesting, drive it as much as you can, let the people see it, dont hide it away!

And just as i was watching Jay Leno's garage and his DS!!! Most innovative car of the 20th century - hands down. If American petrol heads like Jay give this car that much praise there is no question that it is exceptional.
