JW, this is my car

[dropot2]

Well, it is not impressive, it is not fast, it is not new (14 years old with 178500 km)...it is not clean ...but recently it has done some long trips; my brother and I went to Maranello with it (1400 km of distance). What I love of this car, is that it is very very reliable.

















And finally the custom shot (I hope it is enough):



I hope you've enjoyed the pics!

Sorry for MSN dude, I was away..

And well, we can't deny the fact it is no exotic or supercar, but it doesn't mean it can't be a good companion for long or short trips, and the fact it still is realiable after 180k says it all! Was some major job done to it or it's just "good luck"?

The custom shot is perfect

[antonioledesma]

so parts of it don't come off when you start it as the crew in TG says?
I've never seen a citroen in real life and don't know a thing about them,
btw, pardon my ignorance, but what is its name?

someday I'll post my corsa/chevy pics, it the same tipe of car

No problem at all about the msn

It is not good luck (dani_d_mas can corroborate this ). It has never had a problem on the road and it has done several big trips:
Girona-Paris (about 1000 km)
Girona-Galicia (about 1000 km)
Girona-Geneva/Lausanne (about 650 km)
Girona Maranello (about 1400 km)

The name of it is Citroën AX 11 RE

Nice little AX
My neighbours had an AX for years. Crashed it, and bought another AX. They just continue to go for ages.

Maybe this car can be next month's featured car?

Cool is it a injection engine? I always thought they were but I'm not sure?

There are AX with injection engine but mine it is not.
Here are the specs of my car :
-1.1 engine
-55 bhp at 5800
-9,1 mkg at 3200
-0 Ã* 100 km/h en 14,6 s
-max. speed 161 km/h
-5,7/5,6/3,9 l/100 km
Impressive, isn't it?

[TransAm]

160 km/h is pretty fast for an AX

Bienvenidos a la familia

Yes, I've reached the top speed but it was only for a moment because driving at this speed with the AX is completely scary...

The name of the place is "Els Àngels". It is a hermitage located in a very top of a mountain very near from Girona (13 km). In a very clear day you can almost see France, it's beautiful indeed. But the best of all is the road that goes there It used to be one of the legs of the original Rally Catalunya-Costa Brava when B Series still existed. The past year I went there to see the Rally Costa Brava Classics.
