I got a text from my mate Simran from the 16v forum and the guy that sold me my old 4x4. He's just got his 16valve taxed and was driving to work:
"a woman in the passenger seat of a C30 was staring at the BX as they went past and mouthed the words "oh my god that car's amazing" and was looking over. So I did the right thing and dropped a gear and flew past. I've never seen anyone let alone a woman get so giddy about my little Citroen
It's quite cool that to every day people they still look good
