Along with all the new Modern vehicles, we've also got a couple of additions to the WWII ranges with the M4 Sherman released, along with a Citroen staff car for your French armies.

We'll have some of these with us at the Colours show next weekend, but if you'd like to pre-order any for collection just drop us an email.

Nice.

I reckon someone should convert a Citroen for an online painting competition. Cough. Cough. [not that I'd win! :(]

For my honeymoon we were in Switzerland and needed to sort a hire car in advance.  I thought I'd treat myself and booked a sporty little soft top Alfa Romeo, perfect for scenic driving through the Alps!  We got there on the morning and the desk guy says 'As it's your honeymoon, we've upgraded you!'  I started to get a bit excited at the thought of what luxury motor we were getting. We got the keys and rushed outside to find... a Citroen C4.  A flipping Citroen C4.  There's few times in life when I've felt so disappointed.

Turns out that the Citroen was automatic and had SatNav so they thought this would be better than the manual Alfa.  I didn't quite see it that way at first but I did appreciate the SatNav after we'd attempted to get in/out of Geneva city centre.

The original Citroën DS was awesome ( and in it's time, full of advanced technology )

And I love the Traction Avant.

It was OK really, it was nice to drive and the automatic was very helpful for driving on the left.  

But I booked this:

and was 'upgraded' to this:

It is. It's the crew, doctrine and logistics trail that really matters :D

If a tank is a counter, aren't we in board game territory?  :(
