according to the description below the picture. Although I would rather have a real 8) DS, than a Robin based so called look alike.

Looks like a frog preparing to jump, i dunno why hehehe :D:D:D But it does look mean, especially with those huge rear tyres. Hmmm.. does it move at all?

Not sure as to if it moves, having said that, it looks like it's outside in the country somewhere. It also has a tax disc in the windscreen which might be current.406 V6 wrote:Looks like a frog preparing to jump, i dunno why hehehe
It's the sort of thing that makes you wonder about the imagination
of the creator. If anyone had to drive it for the person who created it they would need a disguise to hide their embarrassment. 
Apparently the car it's based on is a Reliant Robin, which is very apt because you would certainly feel like a right plonker if you had to drive it.
I agree the rear wheels do look a bit wide, and are wider than what a Reliant Robin would normally have.

I don't understand why this is here.

CXs came with metric wheels, so you have to replace them with something aftermarket to get tyres to fit (that aren't ridiculously priced).

I saw that picture and thought the very same thing!!Kowalski wrote:I don't understand why this is here.

Maybe to an uninformed BBC researcher trawling through 100o's of pictures it appears 'done-up' as it's low on the ground...

I agree, as I have also seen this CX previously on the Top Gear web site in the Carbage section, and thought exactly the same thing. I.E. that it should not be there at all.Kowalski wrote:I don't understand why this is here.

The car looks nice, and subtle, and does not belong there.
Unlike the BX which seems to have been converted by Ali G, and does belong there.
A Racing 2CV
Here's another 2CV that they have included, even though this car was modified for racing at Pikes Peak Hill Climb, so there are specific reasons for it to look this way.
So, it's another car that should not have been included.
While the cars modified by the owners, with very dubious taste like the BX deserve to be on the list.

So, if that 2CV does have a GS engine in its modified front end, then I suppose it should be called a 2CV GT.andmcit wrote:Although it's possibly a tad too low in the bonnet that 2CV looks like it's been modified to take a GS engine thus requiring the longer nose & wings - if it has it's been converted better than some I've seen...
