Some interesting stuff there

@Tony

There aren't that many Citroen SM's here in Canada probably about as many as are in the States, I think there may be two or three of them here in Calgary, but overall I don't think they are a very common car here in North America in general.

The Austin pickup? It seems to me there area a few of them down your way, I actually haven't personally seen an A40 Pickup here in Calgary, although I do know where three 1950 Standard Vanguard pickups are here in Calgary...

You're right that it never rains, it pours....Thursday I picked up a solid running '63 MGB over in Mississippi...Monday I'm going after a MkII Midget over in Georgia....& I haven't bought an old MG this entire year!

The Citroen SM that was sitting in the same lot as my MGB GT when I found it, is still sitting in the same spot. The owner of the garage would leave the gate unlocked just to have someone disappear with it. I looked at it again a few weeks ago and it hasn't got any worse in the 4 years. The guy who owned my GT owns the Citroen as well.

I would LOVE the Citroen.

P.S. All this talk of Ontario is making me homesick! Luckily I'm back in Toronto for Christmas; coming up soon.
