I join in the vote of thanks to Matthew for the birthday cake and singing that he organised. It was one of the highlights of the event for me.
Other highlights were seeing:
- an owner of a 2CV who was driving in it dressed like a French gendarme. That's really getting into the spirit of the occasion!
- a completely rusty 2CV. Wherever you looked at it, there was rust. That's probably what held it together.
- an opalescent blue/green? CX, whose colour changed as your viewing angle changed. Probably led to a lot of arguments as to it's actual colour.
- a CX estate with the six wheels, and as long as a bus, known as a "load runner". Must easily beat an XM for trickiness of parking.
- the drive to Coventry in a convoy of about 900 Citroens.
Great fun!
