11. cos the French designer thought it would be much more funny to watch 'the english' slicing there hands to ribbons after premature bulb failure. 12. Thats a feat of engineering. 13. Probably the condition of the LHM. Mine had new spheres at the front at Stratford and still stays up for ages, howe...

I have always liked the look of the 405 seats, wonder if you could fit them into a BX :?: Would the runners be different? Dan Runners are no different and the much plusher 405 leather will fit into a BX (though the top of the seat bolters does press on the door pockets a little and needs the door p...

9) dont know what the official line is/was but i suspect it wasn't feasible at the time due to the size and mass of the pistons, i suspect that the significant differences between the 1.7 and 1.9 would mean a need to finely balance the 1.9 more so than the 1.7, and techniques weren't available! The ...

1. They are the teeth on Andre Citroen's own design of gear cog. The double helical gear was NOT designed by Andre, i've not seen any evidence that Andre ever designed anything himself just brought designers technology and ideals together. What he did do was combine the design of a Polish gear make...

1. Because ABS only applies above a certain speed (5 mph or summat isn't it?) depends on the system, but its around 15 to 20 mph making ABS totally pointless for the largest percentage of low speed impacts (something like 80% of all vehicle to vehicle impacts are at 20mph or lower).

does the car have to go through any sort of testing before your allowed to put it on the road? Im just wondering how well the welded up safety cage would go down in the UK with the SVA, i suspect they would really throw there toys out of the pram! Should it not have been sleeved? I cant get over how...

drop me an email and i think i might have the technical docs for that somewhere! I still reckon you cen get it to fit into a Mk2 pod! and the dash is probably close enough to the same that you can just add the Mk1 pod to the Mk2 dash! Then you'll have cool indicators!

But the picasos lives in the garage in a nice area of the world!

That said he parks daily in a car park in liverpool surprisingly close to my uni! Good thought!
