Yep, nice looking car.

It will be interesting to see how you get on with it over time.

What headlights do you have? I am unimpressed withmy bi xenons. I guess LEDs are the go to now.


 It's got Bi-xenons that go round corners for some reason, How I've managed all these years going round corners I don't know..

 You won't miss the heated steering wheel if you grew up with ice on the inside of the windows like I did. ;)

I like the heated steering wheel on my ML despite having grown up with ice on the inside of my bedroom windows  ;) ;)

What newspaper did you wipe your arse on? ;)

Not sure ... it was a looong time ago  ;)

without Googling it .... I thought the swivel headlight DSs came with the later larger DS21 type double headlight .... earlier DSs had a single round headlight.

Like many gimmicks, it's one you miss when you suddenly dont have it.

I know Dad missed 'em when he replaced his 1970 DS Safari with a GSA that didn't have them....

Come on, common as now. Even my Yeti has Zenon's that turn when you steer and at slow speed puts the spot light on to light kerb at a junction.
