Notes
- I almost got killed in a 2CV, as an ass blew a stop sign in front of my friend's 2CV
- car was originally a concept car, a vehicle for hunters,
- extremely simple, yet with surprisingly great road worthiness.
- the Dutch are nuts about it, clubs, rallyes, etc!

Hmm, it's La deux chevaux (nickname "deux pattes", two legs), cars are feminine gender in French. For example, la Lamborghini, la Camaro, etc.

Reading down the racing site, they allow two main non-stock parts (car was last made in 1990):
- reinforced front swingarm
- performance-tuned camshaft, to gain a few more ponies

Beside the "formal" racing series above, there are some one-offs like this dude with a BMW 1200GS engine (flat twin for flat twin), racing hill climbs (which are popular races in Europe), onboard video:
