I've never subscribed to the notion of expensive presents for Mother's/Father's Day. It makes me angry when ads on TV begin about a month before suggesting you buy mum that pair of earrings or necklace for an amazingly low price of $500.. I don't think so! The most perfect Mother's Day for me is to spend time with my kids. Breakfast, after a 8km hike :) made by Aimeecakes and a super long Skype with my Sydney famille, parfait 💙On the other hand.. if this French beauté appeared in my driveway I would not say take it back :) Spotted on the way back to my much less fabulous car..
Look who was in the back seat strapped in with his safety belt below.. Monsieur T. Bear. I could not have been more delighted! If you are celebrating Mother's Day have a wonderful day. Happy Sunday, take care and stay safe..
This is not a vehicle seen on our streets. What is it and what does it cost and why do you like it so much? (Thanks for the info on the shooting. I was worried it might have been near you.)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, PDP!
ReplyDeleteOur children are our Mother's Day presents. Hope you have a good one Grace.
ReplyDeleteI love this car. I've never seen a white one before and it is in such good shape! Love the wee passenger too!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Mother's Day, Grace!
That must be one of the last they ever made . I remember the one my father had until he switched to a Renault 5. All very practical cars for the money.
ReplyDelete...I know that you are a fan of all things French, but their cars are ugly!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the car and a cute passenger. Have a grand Mother's Day, Grace.
ReplyDeleteIt looks newer than most I have ever seen. Ok, the last was made in Portugal in 1990.
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Mother's Day Grace. Neat little car.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is a cute car. Happy Mother's Day
ReplyDeleteMessr. Bear has found the perfect ride. Have a very happy Mother's Day, Grace!
ReplyDeleteCute little bear! Happy Mothers Day!
ReplyDeleteWe used to call that car "frog's mouth". It is cute though.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Mother's day Grace.
Love the car...and delighted by the sight of Monsieur T. Bear. Sounds like your day was warm and fuzzy without the jewelry...Mine too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother´s Day, Grace!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I remember I once took a ride in such a car. Driving around corners was... nothing for a light stomach ;-)
Happy Mothers day to you too. I only celebrated it when the kids were small and came home from school with selfmade presents. That Citroen car has always been my favourite too!
ReplyDeleteAh a 2CV, love those little cars. A neighbour has a grey one.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, a 2CV. So there's one in Perth? It was the first price car, the cheap one. They were all grey. The engine made an infernal noise, the seats were uncomfortable, but in summer one could open the roof....
ReplyDeleteGoodness first love that car! Especially the last little bear too, so cute. I agree with you on all that Mother's Day selling, to me just spending time with folks is the true gift, and one that builds forever memories. And surprises, my oldest son and his youngest daughter without alarming our dogs slipped in and left a surprise just for hubby and me! Enjoy your Mother's Day celebration and all that you do, mine begins soon too!
ReplyDeleteLovely car.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day.

What mommy wouldn't love to ride in this on her day of days. Of course, I might be partial to these little gems.
ReplyDeleteI love these cars but they are too small for my husband so we have discovered:-(((( Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteThe Citroen 2CV is a lovely little car, but it is not make for our roads or our needs. The first ones had 9 hp, then raised to 12 hp, and at the end of production all the way up to 26 hp. Most of the 9 million 2CVs had a two cylinder 425 cc, air cooled motor with a top speed of 40 mph. They are not safe in even the smallest accident.
ReplyDeleteThe passenger in the back seat is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis car is a myth! Arianna
ReplyDeleteLove the car ... and ... I agree .... shared time with loved ones is the best gift of all.
