UltraWomble Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 DSes are pig ugly, period. Don't parrot that popular horseshit, just say it and notice how therapeutic it is.SM's on the other hand are so lovely I'd like to take one to bed and spank it soundly. robinmasters, forddeliveryboy and xtriple 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 SM's on the other hand are so lovely I'd like to take one to bed and spank it soundly. Back in the dark ages, I had one. Again, contrary to popular folklore, it was one of the sturdiest and hard wearing cars I ever owned. A tough beast surviving unimaginable abuse.The only negative memory I have about it is that the crumbs from my sandwiches accumulated in the cassette shaft. forddeliveryboy, Skizzer, r.welfare and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon-Fonte Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Not a bad car to look at. Not pretty but generally inoffensive. But offensiveness can always be added if the existing quantity is insufficient. theorganist, RayMK and UltraWomble 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleon-Fonte Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Ah, the Mini. What an excellent bit of functional late-50s/early-60s styling. Until some madman came along and welded on a Maxi front end. RayMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Let's all slate the 'shite' versions of mainstream cars, seems legit. Skizzer and DodgyBastard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Even this can be topped, though. Although, you must be Australian to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth in a bowl Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 From Mazda 121 To SAIPA 151 I like very much, with 3 spoke wheel trims for added genius. xtriple and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I always liked the DS. There, I said it. The engines I always thought were the big let down on them but the rest, yumm! That's why I had a few CXs 'cos I could never afford a DS. An SM is a car I would happily kill my Mother for (if she wasn't already dead). In fact there are rather a lot of Citroens that I really like - 2CV (had a few, all utter sheds) Ami, GS, DS, CX, SM... forddeliveryboy and TataBobu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 What is the rest of the worlds fascination with lobbing a boot on a perfectly normal and otherwise good car? ZX Saloon BX Saloon - oh wait, you could have a 405....Just to prove how subjective it is, I think they both look great, with the XM Partridge posted being a full on trouser tent situation.

barrett Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yeah that Chinese ZX saloon looks ace, I'm surprised they never made those for the French market. Much better looking that the typical 306 saloon or whatever (which I do quite like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeinabz Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Turning the 5 Series into a hatchback really, really didn't work And judging by the amount you see on the roads, there's a limit as to how far a badge alone will get youHas the back quarter panel been sprayed a different shade?

robinmasters Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 That's far less ugly than an XM estate. If it wasn't for the absence of the extra back window, I'd be saving up for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
