I like the Citroen DS21. What odd likes do you have that no one understands?

Oh yeah! Good one! I like Simcas, too. These days, not many people have even heard of them.

I'd also take a Lancia Scorpion.

I have a Citroën Xantia, it is like a DS on steroids but not quite as pretty. I call it "Hydra" for the hydractive suspension (also for every defect I repair two new ones show up). Due to her(!) complexity and requirements it is more a love/hate relationship.
My wife hates it, but then she has a Bmw 😆

Ro 80.

Its very strange. I like it because I dont like it. Does that make sense for anyone?

Bagpipes.

And celestial navigation.

And slide rules.

A lot of stuff, really.

Nice looking car! Another Citroen I liked was the SM, with the Maserati engine.

An NSU! I haven't even thought of NSU in years. Last time was probably in the 1970s, LOL! The Ro 80 was a nice looking car.

I like all those things, too.

I became interested in celestial navigation in the military. We had a sextant amongst all the various gear that we had, for some reason. I never saw anyone actually use it, but it made me curious.

But I think that you and I belong to a dwindling minority, LOL!
