    Anyone else seen this?

    Gives me an idea, my old man has been a fan of the 2CV for years! and he has one as his weekender along with many other classics. But this looks like some good fun!

    There are also some good clips on youtube if you search it

    But why?
    I did see photos some years back, of a factory purpose built fire appliance. It was two fronts welded together at the B pillar; for fighting fires in narrow lanes. There was no need to turn it around, hop in the other end and drive away.
