I remember the little yellow 4 at the Pod! Didn't embarrass himself I thought - especially with only 30-odd horses! I think they out-cool 2CV's, even if it's cos you don't see many of them any more. Apparently if you put a 2CV in reverse and put it on full lock it tips over  |

That's a great site...
Actually some lads near me did what is suggested there and stuffed a non-turbo R5 Gordini engine into a V-reg scruffy red R4. it went like hell up to about 90, nothing in the area could keep up. I've not seen them for years and I think it was scrapped... I tried to buy it on a couple of occasions. I kept the plan, which is why there are two of the buggers rotting away in my back garden (one is a '71, one a GTL) but too many projects as usual, plus I can't even see the things now 'cos it's so overgrown.
I've seen the 2CV tip over happen a couple of times, but you really do have to nail it... it's hard to say if the thing will tip over before you unwind the cogs in the gearbox and seize it though!

I know of a local guy who rolled one of those belt-transmission DAF cars like that, as he was trying to do a cop-movie style quick turnaround to impress people, and because those DAFs go as fast backwards as forwards with the belt transmission, he really nailed it and turned the thing over! ;D He never tried that again, apparently! ;D
