You'll need to replace the 4 askerisks with s h i t though.

This is what the guy who built it said -
Citroen Cx 25 DTR Trubo 2 Kitesurf I built this car myself as a bit of a technical challenge. Being a kitesurfer who lives in London I wanted; a) a good motorway cruiser to get to the 'nearest' beach, b) something a bit different (without ending up looking like a flourescent flared-wheel-arched chav, c) a load space to dump all my kites and surf boards in and d) an open top for summer days (although I still take it out in the depths of winter - just turn up the heater blower and as long as you stay above 65mph you don't even get wet in torrential rain - been there many times!) The hard top cover is merely a temporary cover for the first year shakedown - currently MDF (but my sprayer did a damn hot job on it and you'd never guess from the outside) and will be replaced by a hydraulically lifted GRP one next summer. The photo from the show with the 'lid' propped open (very technically using a broom handle) was just done because alot of people wanted to look at the welding job inside - it wasn't an advertising stunt and the recessed emblem is a kitesurfing logo I fancied rebating into the otherwise massively flat lid, again just as a technical challenge. For the sceptics, I've so far done 3500 miles in it at up to 95mph and it runs as sweet as a CX should - although the turbo diesel does sound typcially agricultural at tickover - but boy that turbo whine certain makes up for it later on! The body has no more flex than an original four door version (have owned many) and the body shows no cracks or deformation. try this for a few better shots - http://photobucket.com/images/citroen%20cx%20kitesurf/
