If you are ever down there Go to the LMM. I fly through Nashville to visit my dad and made a point to go because of Jason’s articles about it, it is an absolute treat!

The BX replaced the GS (an originally rotary-powered oddity in its own right),

I thought you’ve found HubNut’s Dolly.

Awesome! The best car ever made. This is my Citroën. It’s not a 2CV, but it does have the final, most advanced version of then flat twin. 36 horsepower! Electronic ignition, too.

My favorite car brand. Used to build absolute beauties. And if they weren't stunners like the DS and SM they were at least well designed quirky things like the 2CV and Ami. Build quality is meh of course, because French, but that's part of the charm! 

Just saw one last week

I want to drive from El Paso, TX to Bonners Ferry, ID in a delivery van version of a 2CV with knobby off road tires- avoiding paved roads for the entire trip.

This is very cool - thank you! I must repay you with some photos after our adventure. (Also, I love that R500. We have a rear-drive Previa. So, about 1/3 the power, but it’s mid-engined, so.... that’s something right? :) )

Belts. The correct size belts are not going to be readily available at the auto parts store as we discovered at East Fest this year. Using an incorrectly sized belt resulted in an alternator bracket breaking and a whole can of worms was opened on my friend’s 2800. Luckily I brought my jack and tools for them to use!…

I wonder... if that bust could be trying to remind us of “Marianne”.

No-one was getting away on those vehicles. Engine was a 1100cc (if I recall correctly) air-cooled flat-four.

Torch, you’re such a Doric. (And I say that as a term of endearment.)

It’s totally 80's-tastic!

Looks like Dimension Laser was a pretty popular hotspot for ads and press pictures, back then. Do you have any more examples?

Check out the dashboard:

It can fit a metric fuckton and the hydropneumatic suspension will automagically make the car level again.
Lovely cars. Shame they rust like any cheap 70s european car...

Dammit, it’s a perfectly good laser bust and if we put the seats down we can totally fit it in the car!

So.... the takeaway is that a brown (potentially manual) Citroen wagon is the perfect getaway car for the cyber-art heist of our dystopian retro-future?
