The Citroen Visa Forum

The All Ireland Citroën Rally will be held in the South this year in Cork on Saturday 26th June. The LNA and Visa are a rare sight at the All Ireland with only an English Visa attending in 2004 and again in 2006. Since those times Roger has imported his Super E as well as discovering this blue 11RE in the North, whilst it is also now rumored that there are two more in the South , unfortunately with no sign of an LN/A as yet :



...it was the BX last year Roger, so what are you going to the All Ireland in this year.

...how did the Rally go Roger

Hi Mike, the rally went well and i picked up the 'Best Visa' prize! Anybody can win if there's only one entrant!

I've been a bit absent from forums lately but hope to get a few photos for your delectation up here soon.

At last a few photos from the All Ireland Rally.........

Lining up to go out on Sunday's run


Resting in the shade at our morning coffee stop


Lunch was at a hotel overlookng the harbour in Kinsale and we had permission to park on the pier


The long and the short of Citroens


All things bright and beautiful


From leaving home on Friday to arriving back home on Monday the Visa and i covered 620miles; a fifth of the miles she had covered (under her own power!) since the last MoT certificate in 2004! The journey down was marred by her refusal to start after a fuel stop but she did so eventually and was allowed to rest up on Saturday as i took a trip into Cork city lounging in the back of a CX Prestige. Sunday's run took us 80miles to Kinsale and back to Cork via Bandon, along some of the narrow and bumpy coastal roads. This trip was made following an XM and i was really impressed by how the Visa handled and rode. I was left thinking that a 17D/RD would make a very acceptable daily driver.

The journey home was a bit of an epic, but in a good way. I left the hotel at 11:05 and arrived at my front door at 3:25. A non-stop 266miles in 4hrs 20min in a 28year old car which has undoubtedly never travelled so far (or so fast) in her life was impressive, as was the level of comfort; i didn't feel the need for an osteopath when i got out! And for most of the journey i was able to listen to Radio 4 on the original Philips LW radio!

All in all a very enjoyable weekend during which the Visa performed pretty well
