Post Re: Salbris 2011
Got back last night. Had a most extra bon time. Was truly something to be just one of the 7000+ cars at the meeting. Amazing. The van did really well, the 435 worked hard but never missed a beat apart from getting a bit hot and bothered on the way back and needing a couple of coil swaps and the odd push start from Dennis.

Will get some photos up later.

IES superamerica. I could have quite happily gone home with this. It looked interesting to say the least.


No, you don´t... Believe me :lol:

It's an exotic car for the europeans, but it's not the best example of an argentinian 2CV derivative...

Got back late last night having covered a shade under 1400 miles - 545 of them yesterday. J ran like a dream all the way. Salbris was immense, chaotic, crowded, hot, stick and fun!
Really pleased to discover the warm pool next the Super U - a swim, shower, and clean toilets all for under 3 euros. Roll on Spain.

I also got back last night, having been on the same ferry as Rumble. I've been away, working and generally having a good time in France, for over 3 months, and the WM was the perfect way to end it all. I never thought WMs would get to be this big! It could have done with a bit more in the way of evening entertainment, and gestures such as a big gate were missing. But hey, it was the bigest 2cv party ever, and it was a whole lot of fun!

I did around 4,000 miles in my recently acquired Acadiane over the course of my stay in France; including a trip from Brittany to Switzerland and back into France just before the WM. All covered faultlessly:-)

The massive comedown is starting already:-(

Now that is a well written piece of journalism!!!

By the way, my folks pix, http://www.spookeend.nl/citroen-meeting ... allery=170
They never made it to the meeting to camp, they were not "allowed" on at first (drove 2cv vans his whole life, and ami's, still has a mehari) with the Xantia with caravan, so went elsewhere only to visit the site twice.

Why do media feel they have to mention bloody eggs and ploughed fields every time they do a write up? The car is much more than that FFS!!! :x
