G’day Hugh, a blast from the past when you drove a lovely Citroen DS. I still have your original car, although very rusty, in my back paddock. I hope all’s well.

Hi Denton. I haven’t refreshed my website in a while… what a great surprise to hear from you! I will send a longer email real soon. I often dream of having another DS! I am regularly in Sydney but have moved down to Woonona (next to Bulli-Thirroul). I hope you are well.
So cool to hear from you!
Hugh
