If anybody has this book, perhaps are there some informations about it. _________________ Everybody has a culture ...

If anybody has this book, perhaps are there some informations about it. I got the book & this is what it says: Une tres etonnante serie de photo's d'une pseudo 2cv, pretees mon ami Jacky Morel, redacteur en chef de nitro. En effet le chassis un Triumph Spitfire, le moteur un Buick V8 de 6.2 Litres developpant 340cv, le pont est celui d'une Ford Capri 2.6L. L'ensemble est plus court de 40cm. On le voit, nous sommes loin de la relativement poussive 2cv de serie puisque celle-ci depasse allegrement les 220 km/h. Ca decoiffe.... I can't read or speak french, that's why i didn't translate it! _________________ www.international2cvfriends.com Back to top SamClukkers Lowered Joined: 23 Jun 2007 Posts: 774 Location: Belgium Posted: Mon Dec 03, 2007 8:21 pm    Post subject: Well, I just did a short translation ... check post above.
