It seems I am not the only one to
bring my DS for repair or
maintenance at Khun Pod's garage
on Rama IX Avenue in Bangkok.

Everytime I visit him, I am almost sure to find a new "DSinAsia". In October 2010, for example
(above), this bronze DSuper5. In May, 2011 (below), a 1973 DSuper 5 in need of a full engine
overhaul.

Above: the space in front of the radiator appears quite
"busy", as frequently the case in these tropical
countries... An extra bulky fan in front of the radiator, and
the clumsy aircon radiator and fan.
Left: the greenish glass is not original of course, but it is
quite common in Thailand, where car owners often have
a heat-reflective film applied all around the car's glass
surface.

In October 2010, a very unique and

From left to right: a commendable effort to replace a lost rear indicator light ; the "Webasto"-engraved roof locking
mechanism; the worn-out Thai-script Citroen mark outside Khun Pod's garage. Below: Khun Pod wondering how
many times I will keep comin' with my DS and its problems (May 2011).
