I Hope That They Go With Something A Bit Truer To The Original, And Bring It State-Side

Seriously?! Have you ever been inside the old 2CV?! That is just about the worst hunk'o'junk ever!

I Wonder Why You Feel The Need To Capitalize Every Single Word.

The 2CV is an amazing car. I learned to drive in one.

Honestly Rup... bugger off! That is just pathetic! You learned to drive in a 2CV?! No wonder you drive a Lupo!!! :D

I learned when I was like 14, it was the first manual car I ever drove. We had a holiday home in France, and the 2CV stayed there so when we were there we could be like proper French farmers, driving over fields etc. Never had it in England, and I never drove it legally or anything, just on back roads in very very rural France. And it teaches you a lot about driving! No power steering or power anything actually!

And what are you insinuating about my Lupo? It is very far from the tin can that is the 2CV!

And perhaps it's not actually a good car, just the memories of it are - going to the patisserie to get bread, bombing down country lanes in summer with the roof rolled back. I miss France :( (But then I remember there was nothing to do and if it was raining it was very dull and damp).

And what did you learn to drive in anyway?!

We had this field where we used to trash old cars when I was little, like 11-12 years old... We had a lot of things... But the coolest were a Ford Consul V6 2.8 (or something like that), a Saab with a honkin' big turbo charger and of cause an old Lada with an engine out of a Fiat (yes yes, laugh all you want, it had 150 hp!)... It is a wonder that we didn't kill anyone! I rolled the Lada once. And during the winter time, we tied sleighs to the rear bumpers and pulled each other around at breakneck speeds! That was the times... Today I have to settle for a bit of rallying whenever we have the time to go to sweden (no fun rallying in denmark since we don't have any hills and the biggest forest is the size of a suburban house)! too bad!

And i'm not insinuating anything, I'm saying it quite obviously :P No, honestly, I think the Lupo is a nice little car and you are probably the one with the most "correct" car on the entire board!

Finally, DID YOU JUST SAY YOU MISS FRANCE?!?!?!? I ought to slap you silly! Isn't that like saying you miss gonorrhea or the dentist or something?!? The only reason to go to France EVER is to go to the Circuit de la Sarthe next weekend (and no, i'm not going... Staying in Denmark to celebrate my fathers birthday). LOL... Miss France... TSK! :D

I miss it in my head. If I went there I would hate it, the locals were all inbred and smelly, and there was nothing to do.
And it was fun, on the way to the house we always went past Le Mans, down the Mulsanne Straight. My dad never failed to show just how fast cars went down there on race days...in a separate incident, once we raced a TGV. We won. :D

A Ford Consul...only a 2.8? The first auto I properly drove was a 4.2 Range Rover (a 92 LSE model, not a modern supercharged one). I win the mythical competition of engine size we're having! Drove it off-road as well, and one time (in another bit of France actually) I was just driving round a field, then we needed to go to the shop, and my dad let me drive. You have no idea how scary 30 mph and actual roads are when you're 14. Then I really started practising driving when we sold the house in France and bought one in Spain, and so I drove the rental cars. I've driven too many Ford Focuses (Foci?) to mention.

Rallying/sledging sounds fun, but a Lada? You can't tell me off about France if you had a Lada!

And the Lupo is great! Being so easy to park has such advantages, I can get in spaces that most people would only dream of! I want a GTi Lupo though, it looks awesome (and goes like sh*t off a shovel!)
