    SH**roen after the fish tank

    Well as some of you may know, i had one to many last nite and ended up buying a fishtank, despite the wife explicitly saying i was not to get one!

    Been in the dog house all day, and tbh got a slight hangover, which hair of the dog is sorting out lol. Tried to soften her up by given her car a clean, excuse the quality of the pic but it really aint worth the agro getting a proper camera to take a pic so used my naff phone lol

    Here you go, 1 Citroen Grand picasso lol

    its not a bad car to be honest. 148k and still going strong. got every toy you would want. the rear suspension creaks abit but ill soon sort that. a little on the floaty side but im comparing it to a lowered s60 that handles pritty well.

    We've had more Citroens than any other make. AX GT x 2, AX GT500, AX GTi, ZX Volcane, ZX SX, Xsara SX, and a Saxo VTS. Yes they're crap(to me but she loves them), but cheap and fun sometimes.

    They make good handling hatchbacks though.

    I was behind my mrs once on some country lanes in the s70r and if it wasn't for the fact that i had 100bhp more, she would have left me for dead lol
