Citroen CX Six-wheeler Loadrunner/ Piper Comanche micro-caravan project #2

[cxmafia]

Brilliant vid! Reminds me of my days in Germany, where I had an original Type 1 "Flatroof" Loadrunner, ex Hollander. It was scrapped, as it sould no more after - waaait for it - 2.878.216 kms! It was made in 1987, built into a Loadrunner from new, ordered by Hollander SA, who distributed Financial Times from the central in Zürich. Every day and every night, it took the route Zürich-München-Berlin-Hamburg-­Frankrurt-Zürich, only to take on the same route again. 2 drivers, always en route.

@cxmafia Thankyou for your message, I am always thrilled to hear of the journeys made by Loadrunners when they were in action, driven "in anger". To make those journeys night after night - and survive - is an accomplishment. Well done! - Phil Collins

@thejoyofcx Hi Phil, I used it myself on long journeys Berlin-Hamburg and Berlin-Kassel as my employer back then was setting up new departments there. I bought it because I needed to be able to bring large quantities of goods + space to take a nap. I "only" did abt. 200.000 of its 2,8M Kms - but in 1½ years. It was well beyond salvage at the time when I gave it up. But it served with glorious honour and died fed with days. Oh, how I loved that car!

@cxmafia I am glad you were not one of those drivers who fell asleep at the wheel! Well done!
