I know you are winding me up! We have driven over 200,000 km in my Citroens, and they are fine compared to normal driving (pre-pandemic). Now everyone in California drives like a maniac, and the speed limit of 65 mph 105 kph is the minimum! and they are t...

From about 1977 to 2013 when it finally went away and we still have this Belgian van Transplanted to the Americas in 1994 ...

I remember riding in them and being amazed by its awesome suspension. As a curiosity they were also made in Argentina in several versions: four door, van, Mehari, etc. A very popular vehicle here in the 1960’s and 1970’s and well in the 1980’s a nice remi...
