Have you ever had a premonition? Did you heed it?

No, otherwise I would have answered this question the day before it appeared.

Citroën celebrate 90 fabulous years
90 years of Citroën and it ends with (I think) a new logo.
Although the DS is the Citroën of all time it's a 2CV I'll buy when I win Lotto. People who know I love cars don't believe that but my "ideal car" is actually a collection of brilliant, if modest, cars and the 2CV would be one (alongside a 60's Fiat 500). I remember, and think I still have somewhere, LJK Setright's glowing tribute to the brilliant unengineering of the 2CV. Citroën simply engineered out much of what could go wrong with a car and made what was left as simple and good as possible
The are a couple of New Zealand 2CV sites, prices for a good one are surprisingly robust ($10-15,000).

Ugly Ducks Downuder appears to be abandoned but records the "Otago Raids" which I'd love to recreate: http://www.2cv.co.nz/
