That is absolutely fantastic - the tidiest Ami estate I've seen in a long while.  I look forward to drooling over it in the tin at a future FOD weekend...

Amazing, always liked the look of them. A French teacher of French at my secondary school had one (but then they weren't so uncommon then). I kid you not, but his name was Roger Poulet. Anyway, a superb addition to your fleet, mon ami.

Sticking with my pink theme today, there were a number of other mugs available but I picked the pink one!

The Ami 8 was delivered to me Wednesday, but I have been busy and not able to go and play with it. Today I needed to run a few errands so what better way than in a 47 year old car once the snow was brushed off, you have never driven before.

Perfect, it did everything as asked!

Now there is a small gathering of the Milton Keynes Classic car club tonight, I am feeling it is an excuse to take it out again. @Zelandeth @Slowsilver

This weekend is the Citroen Car Club X rally at Little Horwood near Milton Keynes and I have my BX ready to take but maybe I can find a way to gate crash with the Ami 8 as well.

Not sure why as I think they are quite ugly, but the desire has been there for a number of years.

It is now time to say goodbye to my 2CV.

This evenings event with Milton Keynes Classic Car Club was spoiled by rain and being cold.

The rain did ease off to enable me to lift my bonnet for the first time (yes I hadn't before I bought it), what a lovely site. It is clean and tidy and looks great. 46 miles completed today including coming home in the wet and dark.

Last night I showed a picture of Ami to some rail friends who almost universal disliked it, with one pointing out some cars had a power budge's on the bonnet to emphasize the great engine, my bonnet droops limply over the engine!

Limply droop it may, but it's still nowhere near that flat-twin!

Today I found a volunteer to collect my Mercedes 320 CLK from MOT and take my BX to the local Citroen show.

Anybody free on Sunday?

We have bought a 40 foot container for the FoD which we hope will be delivered Tuesday. The plan is to site it where the yellow Visa body is opposite the new build barn so we have to move it and some other stuff to position the container.

Our JCB will be out to do the heavy lifting.

We are looking for volunteers to help on Sunday (10th April)

And no the BMW did not come with it!

Let this be a warning to you. Too much exposure to @dollywobbler makes you go off and buy expensive, unnecessary chrome wipers!

Is this the biggest triangle of doom you have ever seen on a small car!

The triangle is only on the passenger side though so it doesn't matter!
