Backstory: this was my dad’s project car while I was still a baby and a boy. When his mother was dying of bone cancer, he would like to go to his garage and spend time working on it. It was the very first sports/muscle car I ever got to sit in, and it was an incredible machine, especially with how he was able to restore it to such a great condition. Today, it’s stuck on our lift, which lifted the car up, but can’t come down! (I’ll see if I can get a picture of it on the lift; it’s covered on there!)

Beautiful
Thank you very much!
Your dad is very lucky to have one of those!
Thank you very much!
So sorry it’s stuck on the lift is there anyway to fix the lift to get it down
We’re looking at doing it soon, but we don’t know if there would be a specific date to do so yet!
Beautiful car man…very lucky
Thank you very much!
There’s a C2 for sale in my area
They’re great cars; I’d recommend them!
So jealous haha
Aw; I recommend that you try it out one day!
Absolutely gorgeous, tell your dad to make an account already mate.
“Note: This is dad’s” has become your trademark hasn’t it. Jk Xd
XD* Thats a nice stingray though
Although I like the C4’s Design (Insert terrorist joke) more, the C2 has that road presence.
Insert Citroen joke
I lol’d at this
Why dont you just take some pictures ?!
Well, there’s a couple of reasons for that, first and foremost being that the car’s covered on the lift. Another reason is that my phone’s storage is completely used up, so I can’t use my camera (but I can use my iPad or other peoples’ phones). Also, we weren’t able to get many pictures of it when we got our phones, so I apologize for the lack of original pictures!
