matthewsons
#41
When I was a student in the mid 60s a fellow student had a 2CV. It got a puncture and the jack he had, even when fully extended, had little effect. We decided that with enough people we should just tip it up until the wheel came off the ground. With as many people as we could get along one side, all lifting, we got it over to a crazy angle but the wheels wouldn't lift off. We gave up. I never found out what happened in the end.
Great cars, the flat twin revs very freely. The speedo is marked with peak revs in each gear, equivalent to 8,000rpm I believe. It always sailed past the mark with no complaint.
The Dyane 6 we had, going down the long hill into Glasgow, on the A74 I think, was indicating way past 80mph off the end of the speedo.
I was always tempted to shout "ready about", "Lee oh" when taking roundabouts at speed.
The epitome of driving a slow car quickly. Great fun.
Jim
