I think this video is great. Who's going to give a hitch hiker a lift this week?

Nice ad and even better to see PSA having some respect for Citroen's heritage.

A hitcher? Probably not - I can't remember when I last saw a thumb out in Britain...

PS. More is the pity. I've met some interesting people getting and giving lifts.

I'll give him a lift in my XM Estate if I see him on the M40 on my way to the Centenary celebrations. I assume that's where he was heading.

Yeah I was gonna say I've never even come across one hitch-hiker in the UK! =D

Not that they don't exist like...-

I've found and re-linked to the original Video, see the first post.
One of Citroens best recent adverts, from a time when the cars were truly interactive.
The driver interacted with the car, the car interacted with the road, the passengers interacted with each other.

100 years of freedom...Go further...take the long way home.
