Just Purchased! Citroen GS from Europe - Hydraulic suspension, air-cooled flat-four, great MPG and VERY COOL!

    Sorry to not have many new posts lately, I have been busy trying to get work done, and THIS AWFUL BABY   now is able to walk and reach, and can no longer be placed in the bouncy-thing or the corral and remain silent or prostrate/supine,  but must be UPRIGHT and always screaming to be lifted,  especially when her daddy is trying to return an email or type something on his laptop.    It has put a real dent in the listing things online thing.      But,  she is pretty cute.    ANYWAY,   WHAT WAS I SAYING?

    I recently bought this 1980 Citroen GS,  a car not officially imported to the USA -    But relatively common in Europe throughout the 1970s and 1980s.   *I* personally think it is very cool,  it looks like a smaller Citroen CX,    and has the same smooth ride quality thanks to its hydropneumatic suspension (It raises up when you start it) but gets great mileage from its 1000cc flat-four front mounted/ front wheel drive air cooled engine.    Fun to drive ! Great MPG !   Looks cool!   Be the only one in your time zone to own one! 

    Due into Portland in the next two weeks,    I am looking forward to it.  

   More cool cars coming in soon.   I'll bet all the only examples you will be able to find of their kind in the US  -  Searching especially for fuel-efficient 'fun' cars that were never available here in the USA like the Peugeot 205 Gti I recently purchased, too.     I especially like diesels,  but several new acquisitions have been regular gasoline cars.  

   Stay tuned for more~~~       Zak
