The engine looks about the size of a lawn mower or edge trimmer !

what do you mean IF Evan beats you ? It should read WHEN Evan beats you.

+1 Evan will hate me for this, but if your car is genuinely in standard class and you beat Evan I'll eat my hat. Beat Frank and I'll eat my car.

Cool hey. Wonder if it could run in Targa. Afterall they let pretty much any crap run in it these days !! And at least it would be a real hoot, can you imagine the lean angles around GeorgeTown, Longford etc. Having had a ride once in a 2cv they are actually good fun. Dave

These 2CVs can be made to go pretty quick... Quite a bit of work though.
