More like a Citroen of boats. Ever drive one of those
abortions?

Citroen: the car that doesn't shave under it's armpits.

I owned a Citroen BX19TRD a long time ago..fantastic car!


Unfamiliar with that model, but the CV series cars I've driven were awful.
Noisy, rough-riding, and the handling could only be described as
frightening. Body lean was extreme, and it came all at once. When thrown
into a curve, the body would rock abruptly into a substantial lean which
caused the tires to break adhesion momentarily. The effect was . . . um,
stimulating.

The French should have stuck with wine.
