  • Bugger!

    Suppose I'd better do one of these hadn't I.
    Hello all, my name is Kyle and I'm from the currently wet county of Somerset. I'm a forty *cough*five*cough* year old full time single dad of three wallet raping daughters.
    I now have a DS3, my first new car since 1988 when I bought a new XR3i cabrio and decided I really did hate new cars! The little Citroen changed my mind though and after a year of should I or shouldn't I? I took the plunge and I'm so glad I did. As amazing as it is, it hasn't replaced my old car fetish and I currently also own a 1966 Cortina GT, a modified 1966 Anglia estate with full race engine, a 1965 Cooper S 1275, a 1975 Allegro (yes, seriously) and a wonderful 1993 Espace TD with 332,000 miles on it.
    The DS isn't my first Citroen, having owned BX's, ZX's, a CX, a few GS' (showing my age now) and the odd 2CV including a frog green one with a roofchop and one with a mid mounted Fiat twin cam. As you may guess, I love to play with cars and have spent the past 30 years in the motor trade, mainly restoring no hopers. In my spare time I used to enjoy doing silly stuff like the 2CV's, a V8 Mini and a Hi-Lux monster truck.
    Now happily retired, I get to play all the time.
    This is starting to sound like a speech at an AA meeting, so I'll stfu.

      Welcome to the club & I think you've mis-spelt that, shouldn't that be an 'a' instead of the 'e' in the middle

          My vote is that we forget the National meet and just turn up at Buzz's house to play with his monster truck!!

              Sod the monster truck, I wanna try that mental mid-engined 2CV !

              (this thread has reminded me of the 2CV Sahara, a 4x4 with two engines, one in the front & one in the back - long before they did it with the DS5)

                It was fun, bloody quick car!
                Might do another one day for a giggle, something quicker though like a scooby or Mitsi GTO TT lump in it.

                  Ever build a 'sleeper' car?

                  Few years ago me and a couple of mates stuck an XR2 engine into a 1.1 fiesta Popular! Silly but fun!

                    A few When everyone was doing popular plus RS2000 replicas, I had a RS2000 popular plus replica in invalid car blue lol.
                    Anglia I've got now is a bit of a sleeper, apart from the lowering and Lotus steels it looks pretty standard.

                      Actually, looking back I had my first sleeper when I was 13. It was a HA Viva van that I put a 2.3 engine in because the oil pump went on the little 1157 and one of my neighbours had a 2.3 Viva estate that was surplus. Those were the days before I learnt about the other things like upgrading brakes and suspension, bloody thing was deadly.
