Post What Else Do You Drive?
Do people mind a non-2cv related thread? We have one on another forum I'm on and it was really interesting to see what else people had. We have such good taste in cars, after all :)

Heres my other two babies. I absolutely love them, both Mercs from the 80's, the W126 series. The quality is amazing, I love working on them. Everything fits so beautifully.
The ride height is probably different in different pics, I'm always changing the springs, although the black one is at its final height now I think. The coupe needs some more adjustment.

Restored the black saloon as i used it, its finished and such a joy to own - although has been since I bought it for £405. The coupe is still a project but a nice one. Rusty under the rear window, all needs cutting out! (I'm not doing that myself!)

Ah Dragstar, I had one of those by default, I think it was an 1100. It was a very nice machine, I was the named owner on the finance but it was for my younger brother.

He wrote it off twice and I rued the day! Lol.
