French Friday Late Edition: Citroen Cactus

So I’m posting my French Friday late Saturday morning - I had some internet connection issues. And as I’m about to leave for some errands, I’ll just do a short one instead of the post I had planned - that one would take a bit longer.

So here’s the Citroen Cactus by Majorette which I found recently.

It’s a great looking model from the “Premium Cars” range, and I really like the real car too - a return to form by Citroen. Their offering over the last few years had been really...normal. And who wants a normal looking Citroen?

The “Airbump” panels are nicely executed, and overall I’m very pleased with the quality of Majorette latest offerings. Maybe someone from Siku should have a closer look...

To use the name “Cactus” here in Australia is a brave move - in local slang, it means “dead”, “useless” or “broken” - as in “The bloody washing machine is cactus” Given Citroen’s reputation, that could backfire, so I hope they put this one together well. I just saw the first one on the road, and I’d drive that than about any other small SUV, just based on looks. (I also saw my first BMW i8 that same day - one word - Wow!)

That’s it for this week, next week, we will definitely go racing with a French legend, I promise.
