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

1969 Simca 1118.

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.

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!

I love the Northumbrian bagpipes - also I like a lot of stuff too - also my lovely old VW Beetle FPC162J, which got wrecked by my wife in a crash in 1987. I still dream about that car

English owning a VW KdF car, almost like germans owning a Spitfire lol. I had 2, a 1500 and a MkIII 1300. I also bought a TR Herald which i loved, but it was a chore in winter and snow.
A friend has a Ro 80, the Wankel engine sounds like a turbine, and with the improved oil seals it is also dependable.. @Gerald at the time you probably *needed* two of them

@Oubaas i do not think the Xantia is 'pretty', rather boring with Bertone's design idea to make it as smooth as possible. The 'Break' version is ok but.. compared to the CX or DS the design is.. boring.
4 or so years ago we won a vintage car rallye in a SM, overall and speed-wise. Not my car but i helped to restore it. Needs a lot of maintenance..

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.

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

I love to eat baby plum tomatoes with buttered toast. It may sound strange but when you take a big bite of toast then pop in the tomato, it releases an unexpectedly very creamy taste
