[Leica] OT & IMG: My mechanic moved

[Douglas Barry]

That's one hell of a big jump premises wise - and a very big stocking loan 
too!

I'm a bit of a Citroen fan myself, Philippe. Had a GSA 1220 Break back in 
the late 70s/early 80s that was by far the best handling car I'd owned up to 
then. On the twisty Irish roads, it'd leave most things for dead. I loved 
the revolving speedometer in it, even if I didn't look at it much. More 
recently, I had an '02 C5 which was exceedingly comfortable and surprisingly 
quick. Sadly, they had the more conventional speedometer.

I would buy another C5, but they've done away with the hatchback option, and 
if you now want a mid sized Citroen with a hatchback, you're stuck with one 
of those faux SUVs which handle poorly, and have twice as much tin in them 
as any same urban commuter would need. If you like go, you need low.

Those DS photos are great - a wonderful car.
