There's also a lady in a very smart Maroon & Cream D*lly I pass regularly in the same area going the other direction, but we've never met save the usual waving & I don't know who she is.

Hi Max - Your profile says you are 3 years old, but I don't recall seeing *anyone* on the roads that young!  Are you by chance more GCHQ area? I know when I drive out that way I seem to see quite a few. Just noticed in my previous posting, I appear not to know how to spell "Charleston". I hereby apply for numpty-newbie-of-the-week award.

Re: Ronald - they're all called Ronald Plums and Custard - of course. I had a mental block there, and mixed up my Maroon & Black with the D*lly Blueberries and Cream & got a mish-mash of Maroon and Cream. I'll keep an eye out for you.

Re: Ronald - they're all called Ronald Jude wrote: Ronald is my fifth 2CV. I've had them on or off for about 25 years now - all of them called Ron or Ronald or something similar. In fact in our family, ALL 2CVs are called Ronald (long story... maybe another time). I'm intrigued. Go for it. Please.

Re: Ronald - they're all called Ronald My first 2CV (blue), about 25 years ago, was bought from a dodgy-looking dealer who we decided was something akin to "Honest Ron" from Radio Active ("Honest Ron, Honest Ron, The others are a Con!"). He was named Ron as a result. There then followed Ronnie-Deux (a white French model purchased for a few pounds to get a replacement engine); the first Ronald (the Maroon and Black Charleston I got married in) and another Ron (Red). Then ten years of driving company car Euro-boxes for work were followed by a new job working more locally where I could go back to driving 2CVs to work... and so the latest Ronald you see here. Naturally all other 2CVs are also called Ronald, despite anything their owners may think!
