Nothing curious about this you may think, however no, you didn't hear wrongly at 0:43, check out 5:15 and 6:25...

Bit of a random find, wasn't even looking for anything Citroen related, just happened across this after viewing an 'abandoned cars in Dubai' vid...

That confused white one at 2:15 looks a bit like it wants to be an XM when it grows up

.. And behind that was peugeots 80s concept car "Vera" based on a 305... Dig the 505 convertible that never made it public.. Wow never seen one of those before...
That first video is very obviously a kid that knows bugger all and annoyingly keeps repeating himself..
Didnt know what an sm is from his age and that the sm has been a victum of an engine fire from poor fuel pipes.

I was going to post something about that early on, but didn't seem to have your degree in diplomacy so left it...
I think the word "retard" crept in there somewhere...

I think the kid in the video is autistic or possibly has something like aspergers or similar due to the way he focuses on certain elements and repeats them.

Robert should have it, he knows a thing or two about sorting out Citroens that are in a poor state of health
