15. We belanja our machanic to make sure they take care of your car..and
say it thats you and your mechanics are more than friends..
16. Very few of us buy brand new CITROEN.. we wait to be second hand
owners as the second hand value drops too quickly...
17. We put up a budget every month for repairs.. sometimes 1/2 of monthly
payments..
18. Even though how expensive the charges are, you still claim it is
cheaper than Alfa and Fiats.. and comparable to Proton..
19. Always claim proton buyers do not know what is 'Value for Money'..
20. We pray for at least 1/2 before long journey for the car not to break
down..
21. You hang around forums like this and post mesgs like "Re: signs that
you are a citroen owner"
22. Your phone bills look as though you are having an affair with the
mechanic (just as well we dun have female mechs here)
23. Your gf/wife threatens separation if you MENTION the word "CITROEN"
again...
24. You defend the Citroen tooth and nail the moment somebody says
that "it's expensive to maintain" or "parts are difficult to find" or "no

26. You have a full complement of tools to open each and every nut, bolt,

30. buku 555 dalam pocket. to keep track how much you've spent this month
31.U greet other Citroen owner/driver like ur long lost brother.
32.Home is where the Citroen is most of the time and therefore you go
home to the workshop and visit the house that you bought or rent for a
bath and change of clothes then go to work.
33.Your bank account reflects your distributorship with Citroen France
and as a dealer with most spare parts shops.
34.Your total mileage (odometer) in the Citroen is made up of generally a
major part the distance it takes to get to the workshop... the rest is
half way to work/home or half way to an urgent meeting/appointment.
35.You have a room specifically set aside in your house/apt for Citroen
spareparts and a large cabinet of files/references etc which is Citroen
related.
36.When you go to a bookshop, the first thing you do when you see a
magazine on the shelf is to look for a Citroen article, if none you'd
move onto the next magazine....

ekekekek!!!!!!!!!

53.5 while you're in Thailand you call hook-up with other northern owner
and starts to explore the "city" while waiting for your cit to be ready.


don't know whether this qualify or not lah... but a certain xantia owner in
A.S is pretty happy when i told him that I'm going to join him to the other
side of the border. and he starts to suggest loads of suggestions to "kill"
time while we're there.

err.. err... come to think of it, all those suggestions are pretty similar
lah!! all have to do with "relaxation of the body" Tongue Big Smile

# 54 - Always a subject of "Mockery" (bahan lawak) at accessory and spare
part shops.

U see, I always had this fear of visiting accesory shops and spare part
shops. Nevermind they do not have the parts that I want. It is just that
they always make fun of my BX. A visit to an accesory shop to fit
spotlights they said, "Ini kereta Polis Jepun pakai seluar pendek zaman
dulu-dulu punya pakai." A query at a spare part shop for radiator hoses I
got, "Ini kereta orang Cina cakap lu pakai sampai rugi! HA-HA-HA-HA"
beramai-ramai. Kurang-hajar!

Stupid! They are right!! Stupid Stupid.

Malu...... duhhh...
Pakai sampai rugi...... straight on my forehead

55. Have acquired the canny ability to describe and produce words like
eg. "nyek nyek", "tuk tuk" which is quite close to the real sound. And
the irony is, we all can relate the sounds with each other !!!!
