Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Just returned from South of France and Northern Spain - 1700kms total and not a problem. For those going to Spain for 2cv meeting - try and avoid the N10 below Bordeaux to the Spainish boarder as a nightmare as road works and changing to toll road. There were 1 km tail backs at the 2 toll booths and the pre paid queue was the same as not working correctly. Also if you want a good stop over or just a break - visit San Sebastian old city.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? We went to a Bourse d'Exchange today in Tarbes (about 50 km from us). It was pretty good with a big hall full of sellers and outdoors with more stalls. Loads of 2CV parts and plenty of vehicles on show. We picked up another Solex 2200 which is in pretty good shape. Some were asking silly money then you get others who are more down to earth. I bought the workshop manual for my 4L for €20 where on another stall they wanted €55. Good day out though and it has made our minds up on our next car - a 4CV  Attachment:

We nearly bought this - €400 with full MOT and Papers..... I had to drag Julie away.  Attachment:

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Renewed the fuel pipe on the red spesh. I thought it had done pretty well considering it was the original! But then I realised it's only managed 700 miles since returning from the Kelso WM.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Was up and out in the 2CV at 4:30am this morning. I'm now onboard Northlink Ferries MV Hrossey heading for Shetland. The journey up was absolutely terrifying at times, especially on the motorways and exposed fast routes, the wind has been truly awful!! I've never known a trip in a 2CV to be so hair raising.
