CITROEN DS

[jeje6868]

at 0:56 In the US, if you get out of your car like that and walk toward the police officer, you'll get shot right away !!

[2600asteph]

even in france and europe or anywhere ....if you have only 3 wheels ...the police will have a pleasure to stop your fabulous citroen DS ! ;)

now we have the new DS 5 citroen ...but you can t drive with only 3 wheels ...no more the same hydraulic system

[jasin350z]

Quatro wheels hahaha not tres

[mrspivvy]

fair play the DS was probably the most adventurously designed car of the century. that clever suspension, semi auto, ultra high pressure power steering and brakes...and launched in 1955!

[bramblecino]

Too bad they didn't sell more DS's in the states.... such a cool car

[rocky5554]

I wish this was in English

[CuteFunnyVideo]

Ahahah !

[Hot80s]

i remember that CHips episode as a boy. Cool DS.

[supermasterPIK]

It´s a DS, GS has a flat tail...Also, DS has directional lights upper and behind the rear window.

[supermasterPIK]

It´s a DS, GS has a flat tail...

[Rawego]

if a guy came out of his car the CHP cop would yell at him to get back in the car and if he did not comply he'd shoot him. ciao! :))

[rugbytlse]

Ok, if he's French, I am the Dailai-Lama. He's just an American man talking French with a slight American accent.

[smilzomagro]

@rugbytlse Hi Dailai-Lama!! LoL ;)

[MrMi6oci]

Avec cette voiture c pas un problem. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA

Citroen supeeeeeeer.

[rugbytlse]

@MrMi6oci par contre il y a un truc que personne ne dit, c'est que effectivement on peut le faire mais à la condition seule de mettre les suspensions en mode "Exceptionnel", c'est-à-dire en positon la plus haute. On ne peut pas rouler vite ni longtemps dans cette position car ça flingue les diaphragmes ! On pouvait le faire aussi avec la GS.

[bfcgal1983]

Imposible que se entiendan el agente de policía y el conductor del "tiburón", es decir del Citroën DS, porque el agente habla en italiano y el caballero en francés.

¿Lo hará aposta para que no le entiendan?

[poil26]

@bfcgal1983

es normal che habla en italiano, porque la pieza es un episodio en italiano, el Señor habla francés, porque es una manera de publicidad .. per la citroen Deese (DS), el hombre explica a la policía il sistema idropneumatico citroen

[bfcgal1983]

@poil26 Comprendo, y gracias.

[huvander]

Citroen cars are amazing !! I had a dog of a vw golf bought new!! It spent more time in the dealership garage than on the road changed to a c4 coupe one of the best looking cars on the road today!!

[you458again]

I remember seing this when I was a kid, on french TV so all dubbed in french IIRC :)

[Fredaunaturel]

On n'en fait plus des voitures comme ça !

[poil26]

@Fredaunaturel

tout a fait:):)

[defender5151]

It's not CHiPs, It's not Punch or John.

[victorlazzlo]

Also, a Citroen car is a great way to say "F . CK" to everybody, on 3 or 4 wheels.(also fuel consumption rapport is 1 to 3 beetween a Citroën DS and a Big Block pony car) . I just regret to haven't that CHIPS episode in english, the french caricature is too funny ! Olivier from France.

[victorlazzlo]

Pax, friends, Why compare muscle cars with a DS ? no way. big 'Tangs, Dodge Chargers or AMX, are undestructibles and have plenty of fun, virility, magic noise and ability to burn their rear tires, and to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7-9 sec. A DS is not very nervous, its tin is realy light sheet, good meal for rust, its fragile plastic handles broke in the hands, but the best on small curved roads with lots of steer turning. (to be continued)

[deezynar]

My dad had a DS & we drove on 3 wheels more than once because he was thrifty and didn't always carry a spare tire. On vacations we'd pass a car & then they'd get in front of us again. It seems there are folks who don't like being behind a foreign car. The old man lived for those moments, he'd put the pedal down & that 4 cylinder engine would wind up & we'd be going 120 mph & the other guy would be left in the dust. Us kids were always nice tho, we always waved as we went by them.

[Sebastxe]

So, why the big 3 (Ford, GM, Crhysler), are broked???? I never see a yankee car, turns, brake, (make everything good), in my life... A mustang GT500 in Nordscheife, is 5 seg slower than a Lancia Fulvia fanalone.... With 300 HP less...

[TheLonelyLumberJack]

well agree to disagree I suppose haha. If everyone had the same opinion things wouldn't be right. i just think the car is extremely ugly. sure its probably very balanced and classy. i'm not here to brag about american ingenuity but take the time to drive a dodge charger or Plymouth super-bee and trust me, you will love the roar of the engine and its speed.i mean in the long run isn't that what cars are about? Going fast so you don't have to walk hehe. and if i offended any of you i apologize

[TheLonelyLumberJack]

You silly Europeans are all about sleek, innovative, efficient shit. Sure it's good for the environment, but you only live once and that ain't enough to be a conservative dick. by the way, if a 65' shelby gt raced this car, it would easily cream it. my dads worked on over a 1000 american cars i think my family knows a thing or two about cars and aerodynamics.

[curtis133]

the brakes and aerodynamics in a ford are always better? someones asking for a flame war lol "runs for the hills. haha I loved how the guy is poking the cop, Try and stick your finger on a cops chest now days, lol quick way to end-up with a knee pushing your face into the ground!

[TheLonelyLumberJack]

this video is dubbed you fucking frenchies. read the police officers lips. they are un-synchronised. and to the DS and mustang guy. a mustang you beat the living shit outta a citroen in a race. also the brakes and aerodynamics in a ford are always better. hell fords been in business for over a century.

[maligu123]

the day when ford is better than citroen pigs will have flown long time ago, buddy. drove several citroens and one ford mondeo and one ford fiesta. mondeo was slow as a cow and petrol consuming, bad air-conditioning, turbo broke after 2000 miles. fiesta had nothing in its guts and smelt bad like plastic since day one. citroen were always a pleasure, especially XM and Xsara - very well balanced. and for you information, citroen ALSO has been in business for over a century even before ford.

[TheLonelyLumberJack]

yeah NO... cars were only around for 125 years(1885). fords been around since 1900 and pioneered the first car ever. I'd like to see a Citroen do 160 mph with a 6 liter V8 engine. cars in america are about muscle, speed and beauty. this one represents ugly classic contemporary piece of crap slow/ugly designed cars. the frenchies really messed up when they made this disgrace to god. fucking cock suckers are mad at americans even though we saved em' in ww2 I dont know why they hold a grudge.

[maligu123]

sorry, you were right about the timeline. You seem to hold grudges... anyway, have you evere drove a citroen to indulge yourself in such comments? apparently not, since you think american cars are about muscle, speed etc. you really make me laugh. please read bratattack5's first phrase (lower on this page) and please do not bother to answer my reply, we obviously have quite different opinions on the matter. thank you

[flexyco]

@TheLonelyLumberJack You are clueless. Ford did not pioneer, it was Karl Benz. The only thing Ford did right was the assembly line.

The DS was a breakthrough in handling, ride comfort, safety, economy, styling and technical art that the conservative american brands could only dream about. Where the american WW2 aircraft were almost as technical advanced as the german, the cars were terribly old fashioned under the bonnet until the 21st century.

[TheLonelyLumberJack]

@flexyco I realize that, Germany made the horseless carriage(NOT A CAR) with 1hp in 1885. Sure it was useless and slow, but it was a breakthrough. I'm just saying 'we' made the FIRST PRACTICAL CAR that actually had over 10 horsepower and had a roof, could haul loads, and had head lights. This was 1905. Nobody had invented a conventional car except for us yet.(Model T). Hell, we made the industrial rev. Also just saying, Europe is always fighting over efficiency which is a factor too.

[flexyco]

@TheLonelyLumberJack True, a thirst for efficiency often kills style. It's not always the case however. Actually the DS is a very american car, much more than it's european contemporaries. Most of us Citroën drivers would like to own an old (60's or 70's) american car for the smoothness of the ride coupled with the mighty rumble of a V8. The only thing we don't like is the handling, Citroëns have an equal or better smooth ride but far superior roadholding, due to the hydropneumatic suspension.

[TheLonelyLumberJack]

@flexyco Well yes, I understand exactly what you are saying :D. In muscle cars, the frame and suspension is very rumbly when driving so it depends on the drivers style.(if you like cars that vibrate alot haha) For a smooth country ride, of course, I would love a DS most likely because of it's relaxing stability and suspension :D

[tracolla75]

Francesi di merda

[archibaldryu]

L'acteur qui interprète le conducteur de la DS n'est manifestement pas français. Mais on pourrait presque y croire.

[pitillos35]

Por que le para el policia?

[exeuroweenie]

I love French cars.Citroens remind me of U.F.O's.They zoom past effortlessly leaving most Americans slack jawed.The Serie Maserati still looks like it just dropped in out of the future.

[tyraela115]

You probably mean the SM which had Maserati engine (Citroen owned Maserati in the early 70s) right?

[exeuroweenie]

Yep,the SM,eternal lust object.All were very rare here in the States.Oddly though,I've seen more SM's here than DS.Only DS I ever saw was a 72 Pallas my dad's colleague had.

[1onsen]

特撮⁇

[bratattack5]

Gawd bless 'merica and their lack of European understanding. "yes officer that's right. This Citroen from Europe will unlike your Mustang, go around corners very ast on 3 or 4 wheels".

[rugbytlse]

If the guy's French, I'm the Pope ! He's a French speaking American man. I am French and the American accent is clearly recognizable.

[onit1975]

moi etre americain mais parlant seulement italien je ne peut comprendre votre parlé francais !!!

[RichardBurnsRally]

Drivable art.

[desideria76]

bien

[greecefrance5]

french car in usa roads ? for this reason policeman doesn't know that citroen ds goes with 3 wheels

[ajvh25]

That's in Italy, not in USA >.>

[citro79]

Is in USA, Chips's TV serie

[bullshit7128]

ah, la ds!

[lionbeograd]

lol

[libertaddemocrat]

no es citroen GS?

[citro79]

no es un citroen DS, son inconfundibles uno con el otro, pone en google citroen gs y te vas a dar cuenta que hay una gran diferencia de diseño, tamaño, motorizacion etc etc

[catalinaumbert]

@citro79 Si!! Es una DS

[caxt]

Muy bueno!!! Esos Citroen son buenisimos...

[william93200]

vive citroen!!

[IngKogni2]

Witch muvie is this clip from?

[citro79]

TV Series Chip´s

[sonodaotaku]

Dude, I have always heard about this clip, but this is the first time I've seen it. This is helarious. Looks like a 68 or 69 ID19. 3rd front, but with the curved dash.

[citro79]

for me is 67 ID 19

[og250]

this looks a lot like the 2 freeway.

this is genius. and i dont speak french.

[9atalanta]

us verision of citroen ds great!!!!!

[Trabantino]

So funny: US movie, Italian speaking ChiP, French driver and car...I love this mess.

[smiffy1071]

I can remember this clip when I was a kid back in the 70's. Of course it was filmed in ENGLISH!!!

[maestrolamonde]

I was born in Quebec so my family and I love this scene. The guy is obviously European French (hey, my best friend is from Paris!) but Jon's face....classic...esp when he is making the circles with his hands to depict wheels and then says "OUVRIR" etc. Citroens rock! Beauties! :)

[54spiritedwill54]

Superbe DS, merci pour cette vidéo

[ledormant]

The DS is the best car in the world.

[Starfleet0]

aye and so is the jaguar xjs

[ledormant]

The jaguar xjs is just beautiful, but it was a lot more expensive than a ds which was a car for everybody.

[Starfleet0]

yes and now they have similar prices, its good to meet someone with taste :P

[ledormant]

Thank you !

[ledormant]

Visiblement la DS fait des jaloux. je n'y peux rien si elle fut et reste la meilleure voiture du monde.

[S0NNABEND]

Der strukturalistische Philosoph Roland Barthes schrieb 1957 in einem Essay über das Auto, dass es „offenkundig vom Himmel gefallen" sei.

[ledormant]

This car is a work of art

[russradicans]

try driving one with no hydraulic fluid!

[AYTAZED]

Could anybody give me a hint of what the patrolman and driver is saying. Thanks

[smhorse]

The CHiPs patrolman can't understand how it's possible to drive a Citroen DS on three wheels, basically!

[ledormant]

The policeman stops the driver because driving on three wheels is not safe. As soon as he learns it is ok with this car( which is real) he lets the driver who explains that the missing wheel has been stolen ,go. Have fun with this clip!

[GHprime]

Je suis mort de rire !! Personnellement, j'en ai jamais vu qui roulait à trois roues ! Ha ha ha !

lol

[BX14RE]

Sors un peu de chez toi et regardes les ancienne Citroen!

[GHprime]

Pour BX14RE : Mais pourquoi tu m'agresses ?

Toi qui roule en BX 14 RE, toi, tu peux rester chez toi !!! Non, mais !

C'est vrai qu'on en voit tellement souvent des DS à 3 roues sur !! C'est toi qui devrait sortir un peu et changer de bagnole. Prends un Audi A4. C'est plus sûr.

[BX14RE]

:) lol, c'est moi qui t'agresse ???

Une A4, je laisse ca aux tru du cul ptdr

Allez bonne route avec ton sac a merde...

[GHprime]

pour BX14RE : non, non tu m'agresses pas ! Tu m'insultes ! T'as pas honte de rouler avec ta BX en ville ? Pour l'instant c'est toi qui roule avec une merde ! Autant la Citroen DS, c'est une voiture mythique mais ta BX, elle pue ! Elle pue la merde. Et puis, arrête de m'envoyer des messages. Tu ne m'intéresse pas !

[BX14RE]

Je roules meme pas en BX gros con!

[GHprime]

Arrête de m'insulter sale pute de merde ! Va chier ! J'ai vécu 4 ans en Belgique ! Et malheureusement, il y a des GROS CONS partout et tu es le roi des gros cons ! Enculé de ta race de merde !

[BX14RE]

Ptdr, quelle repartie....

En tout cas, il y a un gros con de moin depuis que tu en est partis...

[garrulos]

Yo ví, hace unos 20 años, en Mallorca, circular un Citroen DS con tres ruedas... (y, como en la peli del clip, soy policía, jejeje)

[locutu]

Beautifull car, I have a citroen Cx and can do the same.

[figamarsa]

Bellissimop!!!!!!!!!!!

[ratino3695]

Best ever car!!!

[benthead]

I did'nt realize that the California Highway Patrol were so fluent in italian.

[artieroo]

No wonder it was called the magic carpet. If there's something I love about the old Citroens, that's the huge distance between axles, that made it as comfortable to ride as a Rolls Royce. :)

[meharidude]

Right..I like your reasoning..

Long wheelbase=Rides like a Rolls Royce.

No mentioning of the hydropneumatic suspension that made the soft ride possible, whoops Rolls Royce used the same system under license from..tada Citroën. So a Citroën of that era didn't ride like a Rolls, but the Rolls had the ride of the Citroën:-)

[xraycortina]

Good point there; the Silver Shadow 1 handled like a boat, but this was greatly improved bu the addition of Citroën suspension on the Shadow 2.

[solex4600]

Superbe DS, merci pour cette vidéo !!!

[smiffy1071]

Well, while you go watch the sluts, leave us to enjoy the citroen clips...

[tonyfuller]

A translation from someone would be good.

I had a Citroën GSA that suffered a blowout on an English country lane at 50MPH and the only reason I knew was the pop sound and then later the sound of the steel of the wheel touching the tarmac!

[smiffy1071]

I shredded the rear tyre at 130 mph in my CX turbo, it just got very loud!

[ds23efi2cv6]

The legendary Citroen DS. 3 wheels? No problem! I had a puncture in my DS the day I bought it, doing 70mph and I didn't even know that my front tyre was shredded. It remained as solid as a rock and sailed on regardless whereas in lesser cars it could have been fatal! Viva La DS. The greatest mass produced car ever.

[grandcarriage]

Does anyone have this not dubbed?  this is great...I never saw it live on CHIPS.
