i have owned a citroen c3 picasso for 4 years now i could have a mobility car but because my family live over 50 miles from me if my wife wanted to go across to visit on her own its a bit of a grey area i am coming to end of life so owning my own is the better option as my condition worsens i now need a hoist to lift my scooter in and out of the car i recently purchased a second hand hoist and have a garage lined up to fit (for all my searching i cannot find any specialised people to just fit the hoists on there own ) does any member have the same car with a hoist fitted and would it be possible for them to take photos so that i could at least get the hoist fitted in the right place i would be very grateful if anyone could help many thanks malcolm
