The incredible Mullin Museum in lovely Oxnard, California was open this past Saturday. I had a Dutch visitor, fellow Kinjanaut Jobjoris, in town, so we met the somewhat local TFritch up there for an afternoon of some of the most magnificent cars you can see anywhere. Primarily French save for a Tatra and a Biscuter (designed by a French guy), it’s one of the most important collections in the world. These cars are mind blowing in person. It’s a building full of concours winners that you only see in books or on t.v. Only 16 bucks to get in, too. I recommend the friendly guide Mike S. except when it comes to Citroëns about which he knows merde.

You’re greeted by this flying DS (actually an ID body). It’s a recreation of a famous Citroën auto show display.

A beautiful brown Peugeot 402L Cabriolet. This car has the first retractable hardtop.

Always fun to see a Dyane especially amongst such illustrious company.

This Citron, wow, just wow. It says something to me that I am barely noticing the EB110 in the background.

Kinja'd!!!

Did you take your own Citroën?

Anyway, if I ever happen to find myself in California I will certainly go to that museum!

Yeah, the DS is a design that’s near impossible to improve upon, but Chapron did it with that car.

No, I’m still waiting for a shipper that won’t charge an arm and a leg to bring it to California. Any day now.

Wow that’s such an awesome collection, great shots too! It looks like an even more varried collection than the Schlumpf collection

Mind = Blown. Again. And again. What a collection. And great capturing it. Too bad that guy with the blue Matra shirt is photobombing your shots all the time.

Next time you’re there bring my regards to Mike S. Or... Maybe you should contact Peter to get a job there as the Citroën consultant/tourguide!

That guy is always in my shots. It’s ridiculous. At least he has good taste in cars to balance out his fashion sense. But , that was an awesome day. I still got some good pics in.

I could be Mike S.’s assistant and pipe in whenever he gets in over his head.

He seems to be wearing shorts in your shots all the time as well, quelle fashionista!

You should really contact the Mullin. It’s only a few days a year and you might experience adventures of epic proportions. Like driving that Traction Avant Coupe!

A slave to fashion that guy. I think those are designer flip flops, too.

I really should see what it takes to become a guide. I already have experience driving a Biscuter. Beat that, Mike S.!

Havaianas is all he wears so I heard. Are those designer flip flops?

Did you ask Mike S.’s phone number? Just call him!

I have no idea what a Havaiana is, so sure. T he name sure sounds fancy.

I guess I forgot to get his number, no. I’m sure I can get through to him through the museum, though. I’m sure he’ll remember us.
