Interiors

Still thinking European, there's something about the dashboard of a Citröen that suggests all kinds of guitar parts and toggles to me. These cars carried their innovative lines right into the cabin ... makes you want to sit down and give all those controls a bit of a press or a wiggle. Made me want to start scouring electronics surplus shops for N.O.S. switches and pushbutton arrays for my guitar controls ... fun.

These things sure are fun to drive too, I won't forget the first time i hit the brake button on a CX and suddenly found the windscreen in my face ... or watching a mechanic reach into a DS, flick the ignition and step hard on the accelerator without getting into the car - making it leap up and down like a Southern Californian lowrider.

Victoria's Great Ocean Road via hydraulic suspension and self centering steering sure is fun too.
