Springtime calls for a breezy Sweet Ride
MRS MARCH
Who can resist the odd-looking Citroen? It was a car ahead of its time in design, but behind the 8-ball in everything else. Macedonia has many of these tucked into corners, some of them even run. The ones pictured here are the CV model. Citroens were made in France and these I think are around 1984 give or take a few years. This model (as well as the bona-fide cool CS series) were designed to be aerodynamic. Only the rear of this model seems to reflect that as the front looks mostly like an insect. It does however have the elevated turning lights, the wheel covers, and front wheel drive. How they ever made it to MAK is a secret only they know, but the green model sits in a lot in town, never moving; probably because it cannot.

This model is the upgrade, the CV Estate. It is in somewhat of an es-state of disrepair but still getting along apparently. Standing next to this sweet ride in Ohrid, is Tom an old friend from Germany who claims he had one just like this back in his poor student days. Who knows, this may be his sweet ride when he was still a hot ticket in Heidelberg?!
This red one was covered by a tarp, suggesting that its convertible top may be compromised, but please don't tell the owner we let 'er breathe for this photo. I'll keep my eye out for the space-ship styled CS model, but until then; thank you MRS MARCH!
