What about
           Pro Expo Dodo World Enduro
:)

That's got a definate ring to it Paul......

Chassis, cage, roof, seat, front arms, and maybe a few other bits and pieces.

The car however, has been relocated to Swindon and the home of "Lumaca Racing" for the timebeing.

I'd best hurry up and get my Bijou delivery/Ami collection trip ti France over with then Simon so I can come down and give you a hand!  8)

Anybody get an extra 4 hours per day and 2 days per week I can have please?  :P

Well, I've got to rejoin the club (  :-[ ) but, if it helps, I could do the Saturday or Sunday.

Or, maybe a bit of both?

Thanks for the info regarding suspension adjustment Paul. Will the tracking also require tweeking?  ???

I've been paid now so there'll be a form for my (associate) membership in the post shortly..........

Dare I say it, I'm in Birmingham and you're more than welcome to have a look around mine-it's not the best example but only cost me 400 quid to get it the stage it's at now. It'll possibly give you some idea of what's what.

And it's road legal too.  8)

Damn, I can see I'm going to have to re-tax my car at the end of September then! 8)

I ca nalways try and get something into the "InCitroen" magazine if it helps? They like to hear stories from dealerships/staff.

Admittedly it's not quite race ready yet (needs race engine, fire extinguisher and up to date harness) but it only cost me 400 quid to build.....

If I can do in a wooden garage (in Longbridge where everybody else has tried and failed :P ) with only spare time and NO physical assistance ;)

Simon sent me an E-mail to post up here as he was (once again?) unable to post from his 'Mac'

So, here goes

Just a quick thank you to you all, With my first race season now finished (see Paul told you) thank you for making me welcome amongst you all, with work commitments it was a shame that I could only manage two out of the four meetings, but I am sure that for you all it was nice to see Mr Sparrow driving my car (thanks again Pete) a little faster than me, sorry to all if I got in your way, I did try and keep an eye out for you faster boys and girls

Thank you to my mechanic Anthony who had No Knowledge at all of 2cv's at the start of the season, and Jon 'Spanners' for standing in for him at Oulton Park and all the stand-in Mechanics that helped during both meetings.
For me 2cv Racing was/is what I want out of racing, A Good Friendly Club, Good Racing, Great Fun and to top it all I have met some really nice genuine people, I look forward to next season, as soon as the dates are in, the cheque will be posted for the full season. See you all at Snetterton, I will be cheering you all on. Thank you all once again Simon

I'm going to try and get there for the Saturday night-depends on if I can get a pass-out  ;)

Well said Helen. 8)

After 12 months of blood, sweat and the proverbial tears-my "budget" racing 2CV is MOTd and on the road.

Having begged, bartered and even spent a few quid, the hard work has finally paid off.

I should say a few thankyous at this point too. Thanks to Derek Coghill for the chassis, rollcage, front arms,seat and a hell of a lot of advice. Thanks also to Simon Crook for exhaust, windows and harness and thanks to Francis Rottenburg and Peter Scatchard for the springs. And of course thanks to everybody on the forum for encouragement and advice by the bucket load!

I'll work out exact cost sometime soon (bear in mind that I haven't built the expensive engine yet)but as it is now, it owes me roughly £400!

Sorry if this has sounded a bit like a Kate Winslet Oscar speech but I had to say thankyou all. 8)

They're all sorts of sizes giving me a few options. I'll probably flush fit them having picked up a window rubber in the garage and realised just how heavy they actually are! :P
