18) Hidroraid 2008

"Hidroraid" is an annual gathering dedicated to Citroens with hydraulic suspension (but other cars are welcome, too).
The first Hidroraid was held in July 2002, and the number of participants has been rising steadily since then.
The event takes place in Eastern Slovenia, in a region called "Prlekija". This is a land of rolling hills with vineyards, and dotted with thermal spas. Wine and food is excellent. The raid is essentially a convoy drive from one point of interest to another, with great food served for lunch, and a visit to one of many wineries. People come from Slovenia & the neighbouring countries (Croatia, Austria, Hungary), and also from more distant places.
I visited Hidroraid several times, with several different cars. In 2008, my kids and I went there with our XM.
