Had a 2CV years ago.Seem to recall having to thrash it everywhere,noisy,basic? ::) but comfy enough.Taught me a lot about maintaining momentum.An absolute hoot to drive round the twisty bits with its insane lean angles.

Mum had one for four years... Used to spend the winters with a duvet under the bonnet. Just about kept up with the traffic on the M25 when they opened the Surrey stretch :o

Best thing you can do with a "tin snail" is build one of these:

That video gets across what a truly hateful engine it is. My diesel generator is refined and free revving in comparison. ;D

I seem to remember they used to have a 24 hour race for them at Snetterton.
One year the winner completed almost 20 laps.  :D

Mehari replica. But you would also need to move to the Mediterranean.
Same thing applies to a Mini; Moke, Scamp or Hustler.


And either of them would suit a small electric motor and battery pack as their IC drivetrains are utterly hopeless

 I have to admit to owning one of them in the early 90,s. Only had it for a month. It was traded in against a Metro I was selling. £5 of pertol lasted 500 miles. One owner car and had the optional CND sticker on the boot lid instead of the "save the wales" which was the other option. Bright green, kids loved it for the fully fold back roof

Many years ago when we did Chezkwrecks, there was a modified one:

We had to tow it at least once and the wheel alignment was so bad the driver had to change the tyres twice  ;D

Do the Welsh really need saving then?  ;)

Like the Scots, you've only got yourselves to blame voting for an extra layer of hideously expensive and utterly useless government!  :P  ;D

If I remember rightly, the vote for Welsh devolution was carried by a waffer thin majority?  :-\  Something like 50.1% ?  ???  ::)
