This year it’s the 60th birthday of the Citroën DS, probably the greatest car ever build!
It was the production car to have front disc brakes as standard, an under high pressure hydraulic operated semi-automatic gearbox, a fiberglass roof for low center of gravity, crumple zone’s and ofcourse the hydropneumatic, self leveling independent suspension.
This weekend I was in Paris to celebrate it with 700 more DS’s from whole Europe
Saturday there was a meeting at the Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry, and we drove on the banked circuit!
And Sunday we drove into Paris to a meeting at the Place de la Concorde. The whole square was taken over by DS’s
That day was also the official launch of the new DS brand, wich almost every DS owner was invited to. (including me, but I dont have a DS
)
Truly a great weekend!
