2) Green and White D*lly
3) Plums and Custard D*lly
4) LNA
5) 652 Visa…especially orange V reg one !
6) Dyane….in “hearing aid” brown
7) Any other Dyane (oh stone me !)
8) Ami 6 (oh…matron !)
9) H van
10) …and to piss of the purists….why not “mod up” a couple of 2CV “spots” ?
Ha….a few of these could pass the time until you get your lungs sucking on some 2 stroke traby fumes !!!..

Re: The O/T thread! Or something like this, combining many of the passenger comforts of a Trabi with the weatherproofing of a Mehari... There's even a bit of 2CV crosser thrown in, as it may well have a 2CV4 drum brake gearbox in it before it goes off to West Virginia.  < http://www.flickr.com/photos/30132857@N06/5055025389/ > None of this half-hearted approach when banding wheels either...  < http://www.flickr.com/photos/30132857@N06/5055645762/ > ken

Re: The O/T thread! That does look like a grin, but I'm surprised it's worth shipping it across the pond. There's loads of that sort of stuff out there, although probably not using our favourite twin pot.

Re: The O/T thread! If there's a container heading there anyway, with a couple of cars, 10 chassis, some rebuilt gearboxes and racks plus other Citroen related bric-à-brac on board, then having this toy sent out as well should keep Erik very happy. I wouldn't mind having a blast around his estate in it, but will have to settle for a run around one of the local fields for testing purpose... ken Joolz wrote: That does look like a grin, but I'm surprised it's worth shipping it across the pond.
