Funny because while I drove many Citroen, we had none of them in the family. I remember the CX GTI, I almost killed myself because of the direction which was way too assisted. :))))

Sweet memories, this Fiat 850 Coupé. Not a super powerful one, to say the least, with its small engine ( 848 Cm3 ) but it was not a heavy car, and it was decent to drive. My mother had one, at that time, and we did Paris Dubrovnik with it. It was somethin...

Fiat 850 Coupé, 1965.

That’s brought a flashback,

My mother had the yellow one, the Sport. A bit more powerful, from memory...

That’s it! Exactly the same.

Me too. I absolutely loved this car. The smell inside, with the fake leather seats and the oil blended to gasoline... Hmmmm all an era.

This was what I was driving at the time.

Long time I didn't see it!

It's funny that my Mum used to buy Citroën Dyanes instead...

We owned three Dyanes,

Hehehe... I started with a Coccinelle ( Beatle ) I was around the same age than you. I still remember the wolf on the steering wheel...

Oh yes, my uncle had one of the first Golf with that dog on the wheel.

That's the beauty of it. ;)

Yes it is.

No quartz for me. Never. :))))

that's a spirit!

;)

Wow, talk about an interior that is basic

Totally my kind of interior, this one.

1970 Opel 1.9 Rallye Kadette I owned

The spirit is here, but the Opel is bigger and more angular. And more powerful.

I had a friend who had a Fiat 850 coupe. A really fun little bugger. Small and light is always right! My first car was also a VW bug. Fantastic off road but over time I realized I wanted to push

LOL!!!

A lovely little time capsule this one. They had little high revving engines.

That I don't remember.
