 Re: The O/T thread! Smiffy wrote: Ooh look, the cutting-edge-automotive-technology-guys have picked up on what we've known for years: "Upper- and lower-wishbone suspension is augmented by clever hydraulics, which replace conventional anti-roll bars by pumping the suspension to suppress the effects of body roll, pitch and squat. The system is not dissimilar to that used in the brilliant Citroën 2CV..." From Daily Telegraph review of McLaren's new MP4-12C But a 2CV doesn't have upper or lower wishbone suspension or hydraulics

Re: The O/T thread! Are there any members of 2CVGB on this forum, that are still waiting for the February 2CVGB News magazine? Mine is often late, but this is seriously taking the piss
