No worries Tim, although I prefer the dramatic sky myself... :wink:

However, that would make a good picture to go in an avatar though...

Ay up!

Just been through all 19 pages of this and I'm now dehydrated with all that drooling!

Meself, I've always had a soft spot foor the BX - my first car (BX14E Leader, now sadly long deceased) but the first Citroen I noticed was a CX.

Maybe someday.... [-o< :notworthy:

In the meantime, I've found a smilie that sums up Fifi: :dom:

There was an alloy that looked very similar to the ones in the picture fitted to the Series 1 Xantia VSX and as an option on other models. The Xantia in the picture looks like a Series 2 to me and I cannot say if those wheels were originally fitted to those. I don't think they were.

I agree, nice wheels :-D If you like those you may also like Activa wheels as well.

Like these...

Jim is correct, that dark coloured Xantia pictured is a S1 VSX car, the wheels were standard on all S1 VSX models, I am not sure of their exact name though.

Activa wheels are very fetching too 8-)

I have just looked through all 19 pages and love them. However, I think that quite a few of the newer Citroens are really "cool" as well. I know I am biased, but the futeristic/retro look of the C4 Coupe (yes I have one!) stands up well against the older shapes and as for the interior with the fixed hub and glowing digital speedo pod and the rev counter that goes red at the limit....


What does everyone think?

The C4 Coupe seems to make the DS look very small there :lol:


The last picture, that looks like a screenshot from GranTurismo 5?
