Interweb item about French Cars we'd love to own.

Unread post by Hell Razor5543 »

As the title says, I found an item on the Web about French cars we'd love to own. There are a few nice ones in there;

Did any of you see the Antiques Road Trip, Charlie Ross got soaked when the 2CV they were in went through a rain storm, seat full of water and drying his backside with a hair dryer. :)

Not at all sure about that Monica's dash. Frankly, I think it's a mess, and a poor mix of light and dark.
OK, a small manufacturer, but bits and pieces obviously borrowed from other cars (eg the geat selector straight from P6), and just dotted around. Jaguar and others did this sort of thing so much better. A shame: it could have looked one of the best.
