Re: Frankendeuche! Okay, so I'm going to say it - I like it.  And let me finish... The reason I want to get hold of a 2cv is because of my dislike for modern motoring and disregard for external public opinion. The 2cv certainly splits people down the middle, and let's be honest - people get quite passionate on both counts. This still has the hallmark of the classic 2cv, but made ugly. Therefore all you nay-sayers and traditionalists will also be split down the middle, and therfore evoking even further debate. Love it! ...and I bet it'd get people talking at a WM. I mean in the dub clubs, people get angry about the 1303s! All because of a slightly more curved windscreen and big back lights:   Now come on - it's still a flippin' bug and the IES is still a 2cv!

Re: Frankendeuche! well you see your sortof right and sortof wrong... the ies america/super america were pretty much just 2cv bodyshells... i could be wrong but im sure they had completely different chassis and suspension set ups... interiors are completely different too
