Fool and his money etc....
« on: October 16, 2008, 06:58:47 PM »
Beggars belief at first glance, but then,  rubschin: has this what to many may appear to be total donk be actually onto something here?

He's set a precedent for what appears to be worthless junk, but others (and probably proper and undeniable donks)  may now think, yea, if he's paid big bucks for it, I'll bid him even more and sell it on for an even bigger and quick profit?

Doh. ::)

I love the 2CV. Basic simplicity. cloud9:
 
Drove one once, and it was unbloodybelievable the amount of roll it had going 'round the roundabouts on N. B'ton prom. eeek:
Just kept me boot in to try and tempt it to fall over, but it wouldn't have it.

Didn't they have one in some other JB movie IIRC?

Citroen are actually planning to re-introduce the 2CV in some sort of retro style, like the new and highly sucessful Fiat 500.  cloud9:

They've just brought out a limited edition C3 Charleston. Look quite good actually.
