I’m not really a city person, so it’s strange to feel like I wouldn’t mind living in NYC.

L’escargot de Monaco
zhlédnutí 53Před 2 lety
Sadly, I was forced to pull out of this year’s Monaco Grand Prix. Complaints were made to the stewards by teams who clearly felt threatened by the superior performance of my car. Here’s a scene from my practice session on Wednesday.
2CV to CX

Remarkable to think these two - both sold new in 1985 - were at opposite ends of the Citroën model range. 29bhp vs 168bhp… 71mph vs 137mph!
Citroën CX GTi Turbo in Scotland
zhlédnutí 239Před 2 lety
After finishing my CX GTi Turbo restoration, I took it back to Scotland to reunite it with the Citroën salesman who sold it brand new in Falkirk - and then to Aberdeen to meet the man who bought it in 1985.

    This is a test from the dutch car magazine "De hoogste versnelling", and aimed to compare 3 diesel cars: Fiat Croma TurboD(100ps, FWD), Citroën CX 25 TRD Turbo 2 (120ps, FWD), Mercedes 300D (109ps, RWD), and Audi 100 CC Turbo diesel (87ps, FWD).

    Well done for getting her back on the road James, IMHO they're one of the trickier classics to restore, the people who love them don't often have the money to lavish on them & the people who restore cars are usually wary of them! My Safari took years to 'restore' but I wanted lots & lots of 'improvements' & I was determined to get a car that looked new or even better. The car's now finished, but I've now run out of the money to check in to a sanitorium. Bon Chance a tout!

      Thank you - very kind of you. However… It’s for that very reason she’s going to be up for sale. I’ve overspent by some considerable amount!

    Looked like a great event. The 'warning - engine hot'@1:13 reminded me of a scene from George Lucas' THX1138 movie. (the bit where his gas-turbine powered Lola T4 overheats) Was that an intentional 'nod' to the film for film buffs or just for fun?
