The Little Rock craigslist has a Citroen 2CV only a few miles away from me in Hot Springs. I have a strange attraction toward it.

I had one forty years ago. Brings back fun memories. I'll bet nowadays it will even draw more attention than a Honda Valkyrie. Be prepared though, it's not as fast!

You obviously wouldn't be buying that car to compensate for anything!

They did some major rebuild on one a couple gals had on the Velocity channel. The suspension was so bad the shop owner could grab the rear bumper and bounce the entire car off the floor. They got it running fine, had to rebuild the carb with a kit shipped from France(the carb was from S. America somewhere), rebuilt the brakes, major suspension overhaul, etc. Car ran like a top afterward, looked like fun.

My Pop was stationed in France during the early sixties. I saw those every where. G.I.'s called them cigarette rollers.
