We even got videod on the Autoroute several times.<BR/><BR/>Ah, I wish we were back in Cesseras now, not commuting to London every day, <BR/><BR/>Hey, well next year will see we pair of baby boomers heading down south again with our 2cv singing its high pitched song on the way ...happy days<BR/><BR/><BR/>Geoff & Cheryl WulffGeoff Wulffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417686629113503141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-19922028683316197972008-08-18T19:14:00.000+02:002008-08-18T19:14:00.000+02:00le tigreI would love one too!

(from an article in the Independent newspaper)<BR/> "an umbrella on four wheels'' that would appeal to the French farmer. It was to seat four men and carry the weight of a fifth in luggage, and be capable of transporting any animal or crop, its suspension so soft that a dozen eggs would survive on the back seat were the car to be driven over a ploughed field at 30mph. Its maximum speed was to be little more than that - perhaps 40mph - and its fuel consumption a parsimonious 90mpg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
