Advertisement Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Hi wlaidlaw, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Hunebed Posted March 21, 2015 Share #7362 Posted March 21, 2015 I knew it was quite easy with that one. 2CV-Cheers and over to you! I'm interested in one of those, because ground clearance can be increased with ease and even while on track. https://flic.kr/s/aHsk5CFvh8 Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 21, 2015 Share #7363 Posted March 21, 2015 As I get older and more arthritic I am finding swinging my leg over my local economical transport in France, a Yamaha 700cc Raptor R ATV/Quad bike, more difficult. I am considering getting one of these 2CV based but alloy chassis Hoffmann pick up trucks. It would also be useful to go and collect stuff that I cannot get into my 911. Hoffmann make various 2CV based kits from Cabriolets, through pick up trucks to limousines! I am always amazed often to find 2CV's at the top of small, very rough mountain tracks, which I have gone up on my ATV. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted March 21, 2015 Share #7364 Posted March 21, 2015 Wilson, Charming and useful little vehicle - but I think a local ordinance requires you to loose the flatcap and Barbour jacket in favor of a beret and having a cigarette dangling from the corner of your mouth when driving it.

wlaidlaw Posted March 21, 2015 Share #7365 Posted March 21, 2015 Wilson, Charming and useful little vehicle - but I think a local ordinance requires you to loose the flatcap and Barbour jacket in favor of a beret and having a cigarette dangling from the corner of your mouth when driving it. JZG John, I wear the beret and striped jersey every day but have given up on the Gitanes Yellow. There was an old retired farm worker in our village who dressed like that every day but also complete with french blue bib overalls. He used to come into the village grocery shop and buy 5 cartons of grape juice and a litre of 96% ethyl alcohol to "brew" his own wine. I assume he must have cut his Gitanes in half before lighting them, as he always seemed to have just a "megot" hanging off his bottom lip, which wobbled up and down as he talked. I could barely make out one word in 10 that he said in the local argot, which is a mixture of French and Provençal, telling me what wind was blowing today. One day thinking to impress him I said, "it's a very cold Mistral today." He looked at me as if I was a lunatic. He pointed with his hand toward the north west and explained if it was a Mistral it would come from there. He then moved his hand round anti-clockwise by about 5º and explained that this was a Galerne wind not a Mistral (you idiot). People think the English always like to talk about the weather. We are amateurs compared with the Provençals, who can discuss it for hours. Now that my 78 year old builder, who speaks the same argot, has done a fair bit of work round my house, I have progressed to understanding about one word in three.

JZG PS: I have several photos of this magnificent automobile when it was displayed at Pebble Beach in 2009 but they were all taken with cameras other than Leicas. John, Absolutely correct. We were supposed to be going out for a drive in this car but the previous visitor to Molsheim that day, overstayed their allocated slot by close to two hours, so in the end we did not have enough time to drive it and do the other things we were there for. We were told it was much lighter and more pleasant to drive than you would imagine from the size and weight. I was also not allowed to take photos inside the assembly hall. Not sure why as there were no prototypes being built but very interesting none the less. We looked at the enormous Riccardo gearbox for the then new Veyron SS (the original Veyron gearbox failed its 200,000km endurance test with the torquier SS engine). This gearbox is over a metre long, about 80cm high and 70 cm wide. I asked how much it cost and was told that was a trade secret. However I would be able to buy a Bentley Continental W12, a Golf GTI and still have some change left for the cost of the gearbox. Your turn. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!
