I asked Aaron if he wanted to come and he said, "Wait, all you know is there's some guy named Chris somewhere near the Ballard Bridge that used to fix Citroens about eight years ago?" Yep. Aron decided he didn't want to join us on our little adventure.
I knew the shop was located somewhere off Dravus. We zoomed over and after turning onto Dravus, I said to turn right onto 16th or 17th. We went down 17th, turned over onto 16th and whammo! My Dad said, "I think that's the building!" So we stopped and got out to look around.
The only sign we could see said "Cam Grinders", but they weren't open.
So, we walked back to take a few pictures, and all of a sudden, a guy drove up, parked out front and headed toward the door of Cam Grinders. My Dad asked him if he could help us out. The guy said, "Oh, yeah, I know Chris. He's not here right now, but if you want to leave your contact information, I can give it to him." Jackpot!
After that success, we went around to the other side of the building and saw a couple Peugots and a nice Citroen DS wagon.
So, hopefully, Chris the Citroen fixer will call my Dad and it will all work out. Aaron was quite shocked that we had any luck at all!
*Update* - Chris called my Dad and they made arrangements to get the Citroen all tuned up and ready to go as soon as it arrives. Mission accomplished.
