Let us know and I will get in contact nearer the time by PM. The last race is on the GP circuit and I do not know where I will be stationed until I get there. I am down for the whole weekend. Looking forward to it get to meet Jason Plato and others at the pre briefing if I am lucky

Well I have reached 4000 miles in my little Sith Warrior and have loved every minute of it.

She is my first diesel and will be by far be my last.

The hole in my carpet has now grown from the size of a 20p piece to the size of my thumb which is the only gripe I have about the car, but as you very really see it other than when hoovering it is not worth getting upset about.

Despite this she still suprises and inspires me.

She continues to turn heads. I have not seen many others on the roads in and around Croydon and the colours that I have seen have not matched mine so she must still be considered a rare breed.

She is a very compitent cruiser on the motorway and feels much like a bigger car as you sit well back from the windscreen. She happily keeps up with the best of them.

Taking into account around town driving and the occassional blast up and down the motorway to my Mum’s house in Deal, twice, I am getting approx 554 out of a full tank, although having filled her up was told by the computer that the expected mileage before the next fill up would be 634 miles. I assume that this was because of my very recent constant 70mph at less than 2000rpm.

I love the stop start and make use of this at every opportunity. It is very smooth to shut down and again on start up.

Beginning of August I fitted my personalised number plate AJ07 AJE.

I love the leather and despite other members complaining how cold it is in winter and hot in the summer I cannot pass judgement on the former as I have yet to experience this, but with regard to the summer, twice I have left her in a carkpark in full sun for a full 12 hour stretch would beg to differ. I can only assume that red leather must reflect the heat where as black leather absorbes it.

I have driven for over 35 years and still have a clean licence. Having owned this car for just 5 months I got caught by a speed camera on the A267 Frant Road Tunbridge Wells doing 40 in a 30mph zone and have been invited to attend a speed awareness course instead of 3 points on my licence. So have made use of my speed limiter since. Can only be another sign that I enjoy driving this little number.

No signs of wheel corrosion.

I am looking forward to Trax and above all the WRC and a chance to show her off with other like minded people who despite some woes love this little car and like to show them off.

Thank you Citroen, thank you DS3owners and here is to many more happy miles to come.

Mines the same, looked good this morning, fully salted after driving back from Krispy Kreme. Time for a wash tomorrow I reckon.

[Chris_Blue]

Did 400 miles yestday to Birmingham and back, and motorways were not that busy- great drive there and back

So mines desperate for a clean, but I always remember washing a Ford Capri years ago when I'd had a few drinks. Chucked a bucket of soapy water all over the car and it froze in a second or two. Frozen soapy water all over the car for a day

Very embarrassing . How u wash a car when it's below freezing? Or don't you?
