You are lucky. I am the ONLY C3 driver in the WHOLE country! although my WHOLE country is only 11,000 aq. km.

I did see a few C3s and few chrome bumpers here, but all in the hands of car collectors and never been driven on the streets.

I really feel lonely when I drive it around here!

Although the green BB had some funky rims on it you could see the red disc brakes side pipes. and you could just see it the drives eyes he was sitting on bunch of power.
I tried to get a pic but the light turned and well you know, He was gone.
