Okay, this is getting out of hand:
Jim opines that the 2CV secret is in the suspension travel . .
Carter recounts the success of a '55 (!) race success . .
As the ex-owner of a '67 2CV I am driven to comment . . . Tho' true that
they seem terrifying fast when driven in a spirited manner: all heeled over
with the doorhandles dragging the pavement in every corner, screaming 2
cylinder 18 horsepower engine noises,
125 x 380 bicycle tire scrabbling for a grip, . . .in actual fact, they
are only going about 12 miles an hour!!!!! As to being able to place well
in competitive events, there is a simple explanation: anyone following is
terrorized by the sight of the lurching, gyrating mobile dust-bin with it's
panels and canvas flapping in the wind and they are plain afraid of getting
close enough to pass!
