It's a weird obsession, I admit. But a few years back I realized I had to have a Citroen DS before I die. And since we never know how long we'll be on this planet, it made more sense to do it sooner rather than later. I spent two years finding this car and it turned into a great road trip with my son Maxx to pick it up in Reno and drive it home to Austin. Of course, it's complete lunacy to drive a 40+ year old French car across two deserts and the Rockies sight unseen, but with only a few minor mishaps, it made it. If you're a Citroen fan, send me your pics and stories. I post em for you.Citroen DS with Utah’s OTHER Finest.
Sure, it look like a scene from Breaking Bad, but these guys were great. We had it towed in on a Sunday night and the driver took us to a local motel where we spent the evening fly fishing on a river nearby. The next morning they checked all the radiator hoses and figured one was just loose. Tighten it up, test the system pressure and everything was ready to roll.
The owners wife told me she had a boyfriend in college (in the 50’s or 60’s I’d assume) with a DS and he used to take her to drive-in movies “And did you know the front seats fold down to make a bed?”
She winked and laughed.
