Hi Eliot,

Have you ever driven a Citroen with failing hydraulic system? Steering
needs strength of Schwarzenegger, ditto brakes and *no* suspension
travel... that's not amusing, that's dangerous! I prefer at least one thing
on my Audi not to be dependant on the hydraulic system... just my HO.

Tom.

PS When Citroen hydraulic suspension *does* work, it's fabulous. I've
driven one over a very high ramp at 50mph and the CD didn't even skip!
Still, not really sporting on the twisty bits.
