Hj rustygubber, same here, my D*LLY is a week old and teaching me a lot. Seems Citroens like 11mm and 14mm spanners where I'm used to 10mm and 13mm. Hoping to go to Witney tomorrow if I've got the engine running again - carb's currently off for cleaning/rebuilding which will hopefully cure the kangaroo style flat spots when accelerating :)

Why don't you come along to Snetterton this weekend and meet a few of us? The 2cv 24hr started about 3 hours ago and finishes at 5pm tomorrow.

Well it's back on the car and running much more smoothly, not perfect, but miles better more like little wallaby hops now. So shakedown trials to Witney tomorrow 8-)
