RE: Country Suspension Package

["Duff, Ian" <IDuff@charter.com>]

Anyone familiar with hydropneumatic suspension? Can you say Citroen?
Makes for easy changing of flat tires. I don't think they'd take kindly
to the sobriquet offered, more likely considering themselves above it
all, particularly when the suspension is at full snow drift depth. Makes
for a great ride, and even more knowledge of your mechanic's kids
birthdays than having an Audi causes.
