Given the choice of spending March 14th with my wife on her knees... Or looking at this...

 

...I'd soon be starting up a profile on Plenty of Fish.

 

"Interests: lovingly preserved Citroen motor cars"

 

I imagine I'd be fighting them off with a shitty stick.

Just spotted in Chez Vegas B&Q car park. I worked for a Ford dealer when this would have been new, I never knew there was an estate version of this model.

Had a few days in Italy last week. Lots of Fiat 500's still about and the little Piaggio Apes. There were also a lot of dumped cars but as we were on the train doing 250kph no pictures of them.

There were a lot of heavily armed soldiers around all the main tourist areas and the vehicle of choice was these Iveco's with a few Land Rover 90's as well

I do like these little Lancia's but running a fleet of French cars is risky enough.

This was in the lobby of our hotel and I have forgotten already what it was. Anyway that was Rome next up Florence.

And that;s about it. There isn't much chod left on the streets of Rome probably due to the standard of driving. Overall north west France is a far better chod spotting destination.

That plasterer's van was holding me up a bit, I wizzed* past it. Later I had a race* with a BMW 120i. I lost.

I spotted the very same car in Ingleby Barwick in April of 2015. Gets about a bit then.

How many lights?! Spotted by my house......

Looking at the colour and age maybe a " rio" special edition originally? Looks like the door ( and presumably elsewhere) is going a bit moth eaten. Bonus bubble spottage in the background.

It would appear that Dr. Emmet Brown's chod of choice wasn't at full strength today.

The "Mr Fusion" unit must have been out of action, as it sounded just like a pez powered PRV was propelling it!

Doesn't seem long ago that these were new, and now they are left to grow algae until scrap prices are better.
