Reminds me of a place (http://www.excelsiormotors.com/) I stumbled upon 
when living in Lexington, KY and (bike content) riding in the middle of the 
Bluegrass region on the way to the Woodford Reserve Distillery for a tour. 
The guy is a methodical mechanic to the stubborn owners of Citroens far 
from their maker who want their cars to work and be right. There was no 
reason I could imagine for so many to be in such an improbable place.

Nice... I spent a year (many years ago) working for Peugeot Motors of 
America (who purchased Citroen in the 70s).  There was a photo in the 
office of a Citroen driving down a street in Paris with the rear right 
wheel completely missing... Amazing hydraulic suspensions on those cars.  I 
also had the opportunity to run a few errands for the company in one of 
those Citroen panel trucks (just like the gray one pictured)... required 
double-clutching... A fun (if not scary) adventure wrestling this beast 
down the highways of North Jersey.

Thanks for sharing those pics, Ian.
