Where's Benny...

Personally I'm not the greatest fan of Citroen mostly because as a child I remember my dad fighting rot to keep my mum on the road in hers and everything being so complicated. the final straw was her driving home from Manchester to Buxton in 82 and the car smelling of petrol, when my dad investigated it he discovered that the top half of the fuel tank was actually the floor of the car!, basically this had rusted through meaning the top of the tank was the carpet! That was the end of that!

He's on the road to Ace Cafe already. Based on the usual breakdowns the 4300 seems to have on SM forum events, he thought it wise to get a head start :)

Not for me. The orange, yellow, and brown colour scheme trigger all sorts of 1970s memories.

Rumours of Benny's wobbly nuts being loose and smashing his rim to pieces were not without foundation....

That is a cracking photo Mark but I think I need the brain bleach now thank you; Benny's nuts and rimming in one sentence is just wrong!

I merely posted a photograph pertaining to some mechanical issues suffered by a forum member. Your filthy mind took you to your dirty place!

I like it, front mid-engined... I wonder if it handles better than the average Citroen

I like it b ut then again I always seem to like these strange creations but from everything I have heard running an SM is as close to financial ruin as you can get.
