Ah yes dear Mike!! this shot was taken inside my Citroen C4 from 2011. I had sold it last December. It was hard for me to say good by to it...
... I adored that car. But maintanenace was very high lately. I changed it for a smaller Citroen, a C3.
The Citroens are my daily drivers to my job. I also own a Ford Mondeo (Fusion in USA) and an Audi 4 which rides my wife. But the Citroen is a very practical and economic car. I´m very fond of the brand.
I will show some pictures as the models I mentioned are not the same as in Europe, they are made here for the local market and for export to certain markets.
You have a keen eye!! 
Cheers! Abel

WRISTSCAN 19/20 January. THEME: movements
As I wrote in the announcement yesterday we WIS love our little mechanical wonders. Watches are our greatest vice. At least they are the greatest vice we can openly talk about 😜. Now on a very solid second place we have our cars (and/or perhaps boat). So ...
Since I am not really a car guy...
I will go for the option without a car! Front: rather anonymous... Hood: still quite plain... Engine: awesome! Zenith Calibre 135 non-chrononmetre - Movement diameter 30mm, balance diameter 14mm(!), 19 Jewels, 1800vph! HAGWE Blomman ...
It's not nice to kill thread with first reply :-)
Superb engine! One hel! of a watch. Cheers D
Grande opening my friend!!!
Let me see what I can do.... Looking forward this weekend on WS think it will be great. Cheers D
I don’t want to touch it. I leave that to the professionals.
But I do love to drive it. The sound, the grunt...
Thx, yes indeed
Encased it is 41mm, so a nice size. However still a project as I still want to change case etc. once I have the time... but certainly worth it. The sound is vastly superior compared to a lot of modern watches... Hope to share more info soon! Br, Dirk
Hello dear Arie!! Great theme for this week end WS and also...
... a real challenge: I can’t find any shot showing car engine and watch movement together and there is a limit to the quantity of shots to submit!! With your kind permission I will break a bit the rules showing the engine (sans watch) of our restored 196...
Ah yes I remember the restoration story dear Abel
Great car! Superb machines pairing! Cheers D
Thanks a lot my dear friend D!! Glad you remember...
... the story! It was a big project and work but a lot of fun sharing it with my son! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
Talking about a pristine engine bay!
And of course the engine bay of the FPJ is also a sight to behold. Great entries Abel. Have a great weekend!
Thanks a lot dear Arie!! Appreciate your kind comments!!
have a beautiful weekend my friend! Cheers! Abel
A hidden gem.
I don't remember seeing this beauty from you before. Nice photos, my dear Abel.
FPJs are always interesting.
I have been eyeballing the perpetual calendar, but don't really want/need another one. But love the layout of that. And yes, please show this one more.
Thank you so much dear friend Zabreg!! Agree with you...
... FPJ watches are very interesting ! Will wear it more often and post more shots soon!! Hagwe! Abel
Ha haha!! Ah yes my dear CC !! But I feel I will disappoint you...
it has the original exhaust manifold and muffler system so sound is very “civilized “ lol!! Thanks a lot and Hagwe my friend!! Abel

Very nice, thank you
I have had one Citroen from Argentina - which looked like this when I first saw it, and later like this when another guy had spent a fortune restoring it. The restoration was over the top OTT in every way except mechanics, so it was only able to go 45 mph...
Thank you Mike! Yes I remember these little cars! ...
they were very popular here in the late 2960’s through 1970’s. The commercial version you show we called “furgoneta” something like “little truck”. Nice to know you owned one!! As I said I’m very fond of this brand! Cheers! Abel
Thank you dear NT931!! I got this one in around...
... January 2017. But I have shown it very few times. Agree: the movement is very nicely finished and the rotor is so beautiful! Hagwe my friend! Abel
Not a car
But just like watches bikes have the same golden rule n+1 is the ideal number Pedal rather than petrol power No guesses as what this case back belongs to! Cheers JML ...
It's a flattie on my mountain bike
You can have toe clips, or clip in - but I fall off to regularly for that! As then your physically attached to bike & makes getting off harder. They on an orange 5 It's also quite clean at the mo! Cheers JML ...
I already have n bikes
filling my bike shed why I am I looking to buy n+1? Right! Because it has a motor Cazalea ...
Indeed
I have had several! A Professional and an International The International was brown but I had it repainted a brighter color. This photo is from (gulp) 1974. Then my wife insisted on hers having an upgraded paint job too, which my pal Joe Bell took care of...
