Don't mock. It's very effective if you want to drive everywhere at 30mph and leave a cloud of smoke in your wake. There's a guy on the 2CVGB forum who says he wants to convert his 602 car to 435, as he says 602 is too fast (really!). I'm going to suggest my newly-discovered easier alternative to him - it'd save him a lot of bother.

Our 435 is up for sale

Is that because Janice nearly blew the engine up the other week?

Nah.... Louis will be back from painting shortly so that will be our 2CV

Which one's Louis again? I can't keep up with your ever-changing fleet!

Rescued it from a scrap yard. 1971 vintage. Body is in great nick. Have put this on the Ami 8 chassis and rolling gear [after the Ami got crushed by the muck spreader] so its a bit of a Heinz. It will be Albatros beige with blue celeste wings [because we had those colours in stock]

P
not considering a diesel conversion though, can't think why anyone would want a diesel 2CV

Nice motor!

Yes, I do have to agree actually, diesel is shite!

Diesel rocks!

I used to have all the petrol that people had put into their diesel motors at the old garage, used to run my old Spesh on it. The one time, I used a 50/50 mix-smoked its nuts off but went like the clappers as it would start to diesel so I went everywhere at 70ish (+) at half throttle

Then it blew the one cylinder head off! Bollocks, that taught me.

I still love all my diesel cars though.

So these 25 litres of petrol/diesel mix that I now have in various cans won't do any harm if I gradually use it up in my cars (I won't go for a 50/50 mix!)?

Don't do it Jono, you know it makes sense
