OK, let's see if anyone can beat this for concentrated Citroen-ness:

1 BX (petrol, so not interested)
1 CX25 DTR Turbo Diesel
1 CX25 DTR Turbo Diesel Safari Estate
1 DS21
1 Traction Avant.

All at Hills Motors, in Wainscott in Kent. Chap is obviously a Cit nut and has quite a collection. I shall be making contact under the pretext of looking for a spare rad.

I can maybe beat it with concentrated BXness: besides my fine collection of 3 in the car park I also saw a very tidy (except for small dent in driver`s door) metallic green `L` reg TZD estate with ABS AND the local metallic blue estate all in the same car park within 15 minutes of each other. Tried to catch up with the Tizzy D owner for a natter but he was going out as I was coming in

Crikey Jayboy - is there any space left on the Isle of Man that isn't covered by a Citroen?

That's an impressive list - how many are working? Tell us more!

Went to a friends housewarming towards the end of last year. We had present:

BX 16 valve ph1
BX 16 valve ph2
Xantia
Relay
C15 (left hand drive with rear seat)
2CV (might have been more than one)
Dyane
AX D
AX Jive
DS Pallas (red fluid!)

That's pretty concentrated! Oh, and there was a CX hiding on the drive of a house up the road! Unfortunately one friend came in a VW Polo rather than his BX...
