Amazing collection in Mondial de l'auto Paris 2006

Formidable, m'sieur!

Great collection, but a few titles would have been handy on the incroyable page. I can identify some, but others mystify me somewhat. Of the ones I know, the GP Lago Talbot reminds me of Phi-Phi Etancelin who used to drive one with his cap on back-to-front - no nonsense with crash helmets in those days. The band-leader Johnny Claes also drove one (yellow - Belgian racing colour) and one year at Silverstone a collective aberration on the part of the time-keepers put him on pole position. He left the track at Abbey Curve on the first lap trying to live up to their expectations.

It's a shame there weren't any late '30's Delahayes or Delages, but they all seem to be at Pebble Beach these days.

No, it's just a funny entertainment show from Citroen... The car is transforming to a big robot !! See there =>

It does look like a rip-off of Citroen's own C4 transformer TV ad. Here's a long version of that:

Oh, and to keep things on-topic, here's the 'classic' version:

That's a "Yes", then...

I can't decide if I like it or not...

Oh, Yes... excuse me ! English is not my natural language, and I don't understood "ad" as "advertisement".

So, I correct : Yes, It's a real live DS version of the C4 ad. But, not very esthetic anyway... ;-)
