Brief spaceship meeting
Brief spaceship meeting
Met up with another CG today - all too briefly before the best day of the week became a shower became rain became a thunderstorm. Arse.
I was never a huge fan of the CX when they were current - mainly cos the SD1 Vitesse existed. Just look at the difference in those cornering shots....

Over the years they - and some other quirky French shizzle - have grown on me. And this one has been very well looked after.
It’s not often the Evora looks too tall... looking forward to going for a wee spin in this next time when the weather doesn’t ruin things.

I saw this car in the carpark at waitrose this afternoon. It looked a bit tatty tbh, but quite a sight nonetheless

It’s no garage queen for sure. But when cars reach 29yrs I guess they become a constant work in progress. It was in for paint last week, and is going for more next week. (This was one of the things I wanted to ask him about didn’t get the time).

Re: Brief spaceship meeting
Well, looked after because it existed and presumably has an mot, tatty because there was something odd about the alignment of the grill and bumper/numberplate lines and the front left wing/bumper looked a little dented, although that doesn’t show at all in these photos oddly.

Super cool Citreon. I never really gave them much attention as a kid, other than owning a couple in Majorette form. Now I think they're wonderful things and I can't explain why. Would love a Safari, converted with Tesla running gear.

I know I post these every time I get a chance but fark it. This is my favourite one I've spotted in the wild, several years ago in Bruges. 2500D L with veneer tray tables in the seat backs. It was in glorious condition
