A little shoehorning and it all fits...

[cosmo]

Got up some ambition and decided to fit all my shit in my two-car garage.
Thank god for little cars...
In the garage I have: two cars, four motorcycles, one with sidecar, four bicycles, one large TIG welder, one power hacksaw, large roll-around, one sidecar w/o motorcycle, one lawnmower, one engine crane, and a ton of other shit.
I feel ready for winter, when I don't like to go outside before I have to, like AFTER I get to work...

[seymour]

[bufordtjustice]

Hey, its the car from American Graffiti!!! Thats Citroen isn't it?

[crow]

Citroen(French for lemon)2CV two stroke motor I believe, Snoopy drove one.

[Unkl Ian]

Those things are even uglier than I remembered.
Or is that the Lawnmower ?

[fab32]

Now the BIG question. Is there any room left to work?

It's a 1981 Citroën 2CV6, FOUR stroke engine. 602cc.
NO room left to work, but at least my neighbours don't complain so I could'nt work.

"Citron" is the french word for lemon, not citroen.
Citroen is simply the name of the trademark creator...

And from what I have read, the trademark creator descended from a Dutch family.
Guess what Citroen means in Dutch???

The only people who should drive French cars live in France!

[Benzine440]

Let me bust in here... the 2cv is perfectly suited for certain parts of the world. My friends who lived and worked in places that had been French Colonies such as Senegal, Morroco, Algeria swore by these. Able to handle PRIMITIVE motoring conditions, no pavement, no water, high heat, dust, little fuel.

Few moving parts and can be fixed with basic tools or even no tools.

You have to respect that. However I just saw one a week ago on a California freeway and I had to laugh out loud. It takes brass ones to drive one of those on Bay Area Free-for-all-ways.

The Renault Dauphine, now there is a French car.

Three lug wheels...sheesh!

[metalshapes]

I would love to drive this French car...
