Driving a DS in Japan was cool... You guys should see the faces of people when they see the car drop low and go real high in front of them because I’m playing with the hydraulic suspensions haha

OK, then. I’ll take the cars, and you are the ransom.

If I had an old Citroën Luxobarge, I would play with the suspension all day long.
I not so secretly want a 1960 Impala convertible with hydraulics (damn you GTA)

Heh.

Have yourself a V8. Chow and booze of your choice is on me.

V8 and sports crs will hopefully be part of next trip... Lurking at Alfa Montreal now, but they are still a bit over my price range... And If I buy one... I’m not sure I’ll have the strength to sell it after lol

Don’t get the hydromatic transmission though... They sell at a premium and they suck ass pretty bad (and one is fitted on mine...). I won’t be sad seing it go... but a full restoration will be done first so...

Lancias? Though the bell curve of that is tricky.

I just read a bit about the DS transmission, didn’t know it had inboard brakes

Nah we are well furnished in Lancias in Japan already... Not sure yet what to go for next time. Matra 530LX is a probable choice, maybe a Fiat X1/9 too...

inboard brakes? You mean brakes located on the drive-shafts?

Do you have a guy? Or do you find cars online and then take a mini holiday to check them out?

I go back home (I’m french), buy a bunch of cars all over Europe and drive them to Southampton where they sail to Japan :)

Is your real name Momo, adn are you a ex-french special forces soldier?

I’m guessing our old French cars are quite popular in Japan then? I would guess more popular than Japanese classic seeing as they let them rot...
