And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Among my many cars I have had at least one Citroen for decades. These are European DS series cars, of which I’ve had six.
I have found they easy to work on, fun to drive and always brings on a crowd.
The systems are no more complicated than farm/construction equipment or an aircraft. Needless to say if you can’t wrench on those and follow directions, they are not a car for you.
Presently we have six Citroens in my toy box, though not the type shown here.
Was the DS well suited to North American road conditions? With hindsight I would think not so much when theses cars were new, but now as fun-cars kept out of winter salt, they are a blast.
No fast getaways from that place.
ReplyDelete'citroen', Dutch for lemon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute POS of an automobile
ReplyDeleteThose Europeans really know how to keep an immaculate junkyard, gotta say.
ReplyDeleteWooden chassis, that's all one needs to know.
ReplyDeleteFalse. Not this model.
DeleteI've owned two, and they spent more time in the workshop than on the road; absolute garbage.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you expected the French to let the good quality stuff leave their borders?
