Hi all

Just thought I'd say hello, bought my first 2CV last week and drove it back from Bournemouth to Norwich.

I'm calling it my mid-life crisis car, trust me to be different and not get a red sports car like most men at that time of life!

My Dad had a Dyane6 when I was little, but I much prefer the 2CV and have wanted one for many years.

Oh yes, my new 2cv is a 'Special' in Yellow and black, and is lovely, if a bit moth eaten.

Justin

Hi Neil

Yes it is a Black & Yellow Charleston.

I found the forum though another forum I am a member of, the XRtwo forum. I had an XR2 for 7 years a long time ago.

:shock: Really I wasn't aware there was any crossover of interest from here in that direction. Who ever it is around here who's a secret XR2 fan has kept it pretty quiet, what are they scared of? :lol: Just kidding, I've nothing against a nice mk1. 8-)

Funny enough when I was looking into the XR2 (back in 1991) the alternative was also French, the Renault 5. I don't think there is much of a cross-over I think I'm just rather odd :)

Look forward to seeing the pair of you at the CCC National Rally this summer, then. It's at the British Motor Heritage museum, at Gaydon, 17/18 July - and the field will also be playing host to the Mk1 Fester club...
