Amen to that

Without Citroens in my life I might well have gone completely bonkers by now.

All the freinds I've made through them too. Magical

Thanks Andre!

I have to agree that it would be very different without Citroen about.

I do have to say i think they need to go back a step and move away from springs and dampers... Never understood why Hydro suspension wasn't used in vans and so on for its inherent use in carrying large weights...

I didn't need a Citroen in my life to make me bonkers, but it gives me the cover i need...

My Citroens have driven me bonkers, without them I'd be sane.....

I concur, but might I add a few more thoughts.
Without Citroen I would not have this fantastic Jackal and Hyde car, giving the comfort I desire from a commuter car, with the speed and handling my inner teenager loves.
Out of all the various makes of car I have owned without a doubt Citroen have been the most reliable, some people perceive Citroens to have inherit flaws or weaknesses because of their superior engineered suspension, but as we have seen time and again, this fear is borne of nothing more than baseless ignorance.
Sadly in recent years I think Citroen have lost their way, trying to temp buyers with low prices and offers, which can only lead to a budget image, whilst the rival German marks maintain an air of prestige, I hold hope of seeing Citroen rise again as a prestige brand to which the masses would aspire to own instead of only a enlightened select few.
Loose the budget image Citroen, leave that market to the Americans and the Koreans (and the new owners of GM Europe).
I would love to see Citroen make a new Activa.
I really like the red C-Metisse concept car illustrated near the end of the ‘90 years’ micro site.
That’s enough ramblings for me.

I have this mental picture of Citroënistes drinking a toast.

They raise the glass, then lower it, then raise it again, then lower it...

...and the liquid in the glass will no doubt be flourescent green 8)
