I went to the CCC Midlands Rally on Saturday for the afternoon and early evening before driving even further in my Visa to a hotel before a sprint yesterday. I took some photos and they can be seen in this thread on my motorclubs forum.
Mine is D951 OWA with the stickers

Blimey, my 2cv is in the background of the last pic! Thought the Visa might be yours after seeing details at various points on the forum. I must be mad as I was drooling over the 652cc Visa!

I am mad as well, then, Ian. There was a delicious brown one both at Kelso and Wetherby with an Ulster reg.
The most underrated Citroen?

Talking of parents cars and them changing them.
When i was about 5 i went into hospital for my tonsils out and it was a bit more complex than they thought so i was there about a week.
I had been taken to hospital in my parents CX athena ( i loved that car) and was collected in a datsun stanza........i cried.

Must weld the decap...must weld the decap...must weld the decap...must weld the decap...must weld the decap!
We had a brown Visa Special - at least it hid some of the rust, but that's about all you could say for it! Following a couple of front end rearrangements we ran it for quite a long time with a red O/S front wing and white bonnet!

If you follow my link above and see the yellow one...the owner showed me all the photos from when it was being restored. I thought my old gti had rust but blimey! This thing needed entire new floor sections etc, was quite shocking but looked good once done! She had a gti steering wheel on it with the 3 arms painted yellow and it matched the interior with its yellow exposed bits really nicely
