russ, keep your citroen fetish to yourself. ;)

seriously though. with all the facts and graphs to prove that the citroen 2cv is a safe car, they drive their point home by plowing a 7 1/2 ton truck doing 70 km/h into the back of it. any car would have crumbled in that situation.

not a very good way to prove a point, imho.

Seriously those cars are the bizniz , while in the uk there was a ready supply of them for 500 quid , they are simple to slam , and the fold back roof thing is perfect , we used to buy a bunch of them and have smash up derbys in the local fields, at standard ride height you can drive them across plowed fields at 70mph all day long(you can take your WRX's and stick them up ya harse...)The hot ticket was to drop in an engine from a citroen visa  all 1200cc's  :o
