I'd love a Citroen SM........which is much the same as Albs car.

What, French? 

A French car with an Italian engine  ...... what could possibly go wrong?!?! 

I agree, Mr Beanz.

 Despite this I'll take one SM, one Facel Vega, along with a brace of Bugatti, the other well known Frenchie.

I'd have a SM too and/or a proper DS .... one of the earlier cars with the round headlights

As a kid our family had three of these. Most people of the time had no idea what they were.......or thought they were some sort of alien spacecraft.

Saw a DS safari at Le Man's last year. Unbelievably cool.

"a small hatch "
do you have chickens as well as a donkey
are you setting up a small holding 

all joking aside , how is it ? have you investigated the cambelt yet ?

[/highlight]


Unless I find some tippex marks or similar under the cover then I reckon I will be changing it in the near future. Watched a video on youtube last night and it looks like a right pita, but if it has to be done...….

They aren't too bad to do,early ones had the crank sprocket not keyed so much care and correct lock  kit required,later ones are keyed  so easier to deal with

Its a 59 plate. don't know if that's early or not ? 

I think that's late enough to be keyed,when I get back from my holibobs I'll have a look on autodata

Thanks Henry. A helpful civilised man among all these bullying thugs.

The cam belt might go before Enery gets home.

If he's on holiday in France you could meed him out there for a cambelt party.

I saw a convertible one at a car show near here last weekend.

TBH, I would take one of each, given half a chance (and a six figure sum to spend).

Ive had years of practice in that technique with the old 190D. Like driving a truck, if you lift your foot it takes way too long to get back up to speed, so its to be avoided at all costs. 

I drive a Battlebus.  Acceleration was just a pipe dream when it left the factory.

I once managed a ton in one...

Took most of the A27 Emsworth bypass to reach it though

Metric ton of course.

Is that where the plane was when they dropped it out the back, or where it landed?   

[Doctor Gollum]

Did I mention that it was a rental... So no aircraft needed

Besides, it can drive about three times further than an E Golf without stopping
