I followed a Dyane yesterday in the same blue. They weren't hanging about and the cornering round the roundabout to join the M5 was pretty much on the door handles. I would never have one again but they are quite fun to drive for a little while.

I remember the first (and so far only) time I rode in one being alarmed at the roll so I identify with the sentiment. My AMC has no anti-roll (sway bars if you're American) and it took a bit of getting used to. It makes me wonder if there's any real advantage to the flat cornering of modern cars beyond not spilling your coffee - of course there has to be some advantage to not transferring the weight I suppose but I do think anti roll and anti dive (unless done via active electronics) robs the suspension of ride comfort.

On the other hand I have fuck all idea what I am on about so am probably wrong.

grrr! (Not on the same level as biscuit tin headlamp adornments, but on the way there)

My beef isn't with the sticker, nor message...it would of raised a grin if it were in Welsh.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

It made me smile. If I had a 2CV I’d want one too.

I've had a couple of 2CVs. cheap as chips versions and they all lean over like they 'MUST' fall over soon, but never do. Amazing grip from those skinny Michelins!

My school boy French says ne panique pas would be the correct phrase?

Although this could really turn into a Romanes eunt domus sketch....
