[Vwdiesel] Citroen

[jeremy]

How do you get parts to keep up with your Citroens when they break down? Once I
had a rental Citroen small station wagon when I was in Italy back in 1992. I
don't remember the name of the car. It was a gas not diesel but it got amazing
mpg as I drove conservatively. The little car handles well on the curves too. I
am always looking for ways to get the best mpg out of a car so that car
impressed me. A friend over there has CV2(I think that is the name). It has 2
cylinders, canvas seats, big hatch opening in the back and lots of room inside.
Very simple and practical car to use in the countryside and farm. I love that
simple car. I wish to own one here in Los Angeles. It would last forever. What
happen to these simple transportation that can get you from point a to point b?
Now they are making these cars like sophisticated airplanes.
