Hi Marty

It helps to not drive your car into a wall which is what happened to my car and then spend 14 hours repairing the damage!

Hoping to see all the 2CV's bicylinders make it to Snetterton this year, no C1's but there will be the classic Minis with their 998 4 cylinder engines (:

For info of others RACB in Belgium require all cars to be ranked to have completed 50% of the laps of the lead car.

A Bicylinder! does that make them gender Neutral?
