I would certainly not be put off by the lhd since acquiring one myself that in fact is a very big attraction given the addition of Diravi!! Regards, Matthew T.

Fair enough Paul and I realise lhd is not for everyone. As it turns out I cannot get my wife to drive anything but the Germany car now!! For me the attraction is both the Diravi and also the novelty I suppose, plus it is how Citroen originally created the car! It is amazing how quickly you get used to being on the other side, although you do need to be extra careful with overtaking and parking. If I am honest I am less keen to drive her at night on country lanes. All very interesting stuff! Regards, Matthew T.

I agree that it should really be worth more Lundin, but that is the harsh reality here at least. If I was your friend I would store the car somewhere nice and dry! With regards, Matthew T.

Why?

Is it because She likes to get out kerbside in the snow, or her inner speed demon?

I think it is a combination of the what we call the 'ruuuuuum' factor, plus the steering and novelty of being on the other side Will. In normal weather it is rather more convenient to get out on the kerbside of course!! Good to have you back on the forum by the way. Regards, Matthew T.
