Been watching the La Bresse hillclimbs that took place last week. Awesome riders, with balls bigger than Mario's to ride some of those bikes (including a Honda CR1000 two stroke) up an almost vertical cliff face. https://youtu.be/qaClW5irIOM?si=O2pfojGHqHFIEyUR Ha!

Perhaps you can get together and give her a spitroast.
Hell we can all buzz by and do some seagulling.

Are they hard to do on a 2cv? I'd thought the cars would be at pretty much blacksmith engineering levels.

A steiner school with spittle running down the windows.

Any car that was vaguely sporting was got at by lads, especially I'd say late 70s early 80s. The addition of electronic ignition modules, spotlights, stereos and the like would have proved irresistible to any hot blooded young chap. The 124 coupe I owned had more dodgy wiring than Steve Austin...
