Why is the interior of the boot better trimmed than the bit you sit in?

we want Citroen’s to have some quirk don’t we?!

And the wheels.

I decided I could live with the wheels - at least until they needed a refurb. Unlike the roof...

And yeah - seller is firmly wired to a mars bar.

The roof would look better without the cutouts, still not great, but better

It’s explicable: the guy’s a fruitcake and completely deluded about the value of his pride and joy. Apparently he’s had it on eBay before with a Buy It Now price of £10,000.

We do, but Citroen quirk not some knob end modifying it later I assume the roof and wheels, along with the boot re-trim, are not as it came out of the factory.

That is... quite something (the car and the ad)

Mate’s Lexus-Lotus is back home. The paint looks really good in the sunlight.

A few more years and the interior will be done, and then it’s only another three or four until it’s finished !

*like*

Odd colour choice, but still cool!

Is he doing a white roof wrap with a Lotus badge cut-out?

If he isn’t he should, but I suspect he’s too busy fighting off people with Fezzas, Lambos and Paganis hanging off the back end of his trailer in admiration.

I can't remember who posted the site (sorry), looking through there was this; https://themarket.co.uk/listings/citroe ... 95e4b4bd0c

That Citroen is horrible in every possible way. I'm happy to drive crap cars but I think you'd have to pay me to take that

Why the fuck do that to the boot??

The roof and wheels are also horrendous. That vinyl will be an arse of a job to remove as well.

I gave the Golf a wash today - I tried to do it in direct sun light and remembered quite how shit I am at washing cars - especially dark coloured ones. However, it was countered by the fact of how nice it is to wash a brand new car with no stone chips/no alloy wheel damage/etc...

How much mileage have people been doing? Our total mileage across 3 cars in the last month is 94. 3/4 Yeti, 1/4 Megane, 0 Fabia.
That's all just 4 trips to deliver provisions to parents.
Could maybe have SORNed a couple of them but not to worry.

We're driving much less, but commuting is up as my wife now drives into Kensington (no congestion or parking charges). Probably about half the distance compared to before.

I’ve done about 35 miles in the last 6 weeks, my missus has probably done about 50.

All I've done recently is stuff within a 10 mile radius. The M140i has been spanked at every opportunity as I've gone the long way to/from a few places. The hop up to the MiL's is great as there's a 1 Jct sprint on the A1 with nowhere for Fuzz to sit. The few times I've done it it's been empty and it's too much to resist.

Consequently, the mpg during lock down has been bloody appalling. Drinks like Oliver Reed

Had the chance to stretch its (and my) legs today as I had to go collect some stuff for a client in Leeds and drop it at Doncaster. It's really weird swing everywhere so quiet, especially driving through Leeds.

Post up a vid of that high speed run you did on the autobahn - last year.
