I still think they look cool now but back in the 70's they must have seemed very exotic. Unfortunately my dad had a white vauxhall viva, not a car guaranteed to enhance a teenage boys image . . . but reliable though! greg beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655926301284639029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198823183948423137.post-84327426684901450462013-10-13T06:24:45.815-07:002013-10-13T06:24:45.815-07:00This made me smile.

It is a very accurate portrait :) My dad used to have a convertible bright green one back in the 1970's, we used to love standing on the back seat and sticking our heads through the roof...ah those were the days before health and safety!

But I've now seen the Kate Humble land rover race on youtube and I see what you mean. I'm sure the citroen would also win a tree climbing competition. greg beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655926301284639029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198823183948423137.post-50657625391688358632013-10-13T01:10:59.695-07:002013-10-13T01:10:59.695-07:00Ah, you've met the 4x4 2CVers, then ;-)Ah, you've met the 4x4 2CVers, then ;-)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198823183948423137.post-31795734381058424602013-10-12T09:33:16.279-07:002013-10-12T09:33:16.279-07:00not as clever as I thought, because I was sure cit...not as clever as I thought, because I was sure citroen was french for lemon but its aactually citron. Citroen is the dutch word for lemon. I don't know how this effects car sales though, it must sound strange saying I drive a lemon. greg beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655926301284639029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198823183948423137.post-24548990124170092222013-10-12T03:20:47.804-07:002013-10-12T03:20:47.804-07:00Ha!
