  Well Jono, I must tell you that this overnight rebuilding story is still talked here in Portugal when people comments the "stories" from the 2cv WM. At that time I was only 14...      Cheers,

Cheers, Portugal remains one of my favourite World Meetings - I was only 7 at the time, and that's me in the picture above.

				  Old World Meeting Pictures 1989 Orlean  
					
						Lets camp on the old rubbish tip for a week in the sweltering heat!!!
  Memories
  Meeting theme was land/ water/ air (or something similar) First WM in the Zebra. Flying 2CV Outdoor showers Swiss started the idea of prepaying. The swimming pool off site.  Ice cold bottles of Orangina  2CV cross on site. Loire valley to the sea after meeting Mulsanne Straight in the 2cv towing the big combi camp
  What do you rememeber ?

						I've come to the conclusion, that I'm not that sad I didn't get to most of these meetings, so no dodgy photos of me to appear! Andy M
