Heathen Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I've lived in Ramsey for 12 years and never seen that car. You come down for the afternoon and snap it! Ever been in one? The ride is err, interesting... I think the last time I was in one was when I was playing for St. Johns 14-16 team and Bill Dale was our coach. He had one of those and took 7 of us plus himself and his dog from St. Johns to Ramsey for a game one Sunday morning. The dog was giddy and kept clambering everywhere so yes it was an interesting ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 French: deux chevaux vapeur, literally "two steam horses", from the tax horsepower rating) wasn't the original design for an economy vehicle for mr & mrs farmer to take produce and one pig to market over undulating french roads ?, hence the very soft suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I go around looking for this kind of stuff Deux Chevaux Vapeur - which is French and means "crap on wheels" "Two horse steam" ?? - more like a crap attempt at French translation Try 'voiture de caca' or 'caca sur rouages' But I thought "2CV" is internationally accepted as short for "crap automobile" More from the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me - must do pilgramage to Chester at some point... Today - on the bus: Douglas to Ramsey for £ 2.40 Even a petrolhead like me can't resist that - proper value I say...
