Re: Catch All - the place for anything you want to discuss off a specific topic
Saw one of these on the M40 a few weeks ago in black. I knew what it was, being a car obsessed ADHDer. Never seen one in the flesh before.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑19 Feb 2024, 09:11 This car caught my eye because it is that very rare beastie - a car I hadn't heard of! It doesn't really fit in any of our car spotting threads, not being French, truly classic or under 10k although it could qualify for Favourite Colours or the Interiors thread but there are too many pictures to decide which one shows that off best. So here it is for general interest, I'd be intrigued to know who else was aware of it!
Details here
They look like a badly put together kit car, I was most disappointed.

Presumably a retractable mast included?
This came up as and Amazon advert on Facebook, no mention of it's anti dandruff properties! Even more so, it isn't intended to be poured over the block akin to Gunk and similar degreasers!
What a stupid name!

Another coincidence. Only yesterday, after the thread had been some time in the doldrums, I revived the "Electric Vehicles Small Electric topic with a bit on the Microlino. A few posts back the Carver was given the "Fully Charged" treatment on the thread, followed up by a piece from the horses mouth, the CEO of Carver who came up with this quote

Further to
Thoroughly agree, I feel quite privileged to have owned & driven , GS's, GSA's, CX's (Fams & GTI's), BX, XM, and three versions of the C5. To complete the set it would be nice to drive (or ride in ) a DS someday if possible.citroen since 1973 wrote: ↑26 May 2024, 09:13 ……That said, back in 1973 Citroen was a whole different and very exciting, ball game!

Driving a proper DS with the hydraulic gearbox is definitely a magical experience Stu
As is driving a V6 XM or a CX with Diravi steering

My GS had the semi-automatic box, is that the same?
All three of my CX's had the variable steering, more direct the faster you went - was that Diavi?

That indeed was Stu I've only ever driven and LHD V6 XM with it and it was very different. I really liked it!

Steering - I thought that was what all CX's had?
