Not quite a Cord???

Isn't that an Aixam lookie-likey with the mighty 15bhp Lombardini vertical twin, non-turbo engine from the one that 16 year olds here in the UK are now legally allowed to drive? Vile bloody things, they've sold quite a few out here in the wilds in spite of the dealer being down in Bradford - some 140 miles away - and so far, by some miracle, nobody in a proper car has managed to rear end one on a single track road at night. In spite of our all trying pretty hard .
They're lethal because of their 28mph maximum speed. Sorry, am I maybe giving the impression that I'm not suited with French Microcars unless they weigh over 800Kg, have a large turbo, 3 cylinders and can be hacked to provide more than 70bhp?

When I was 16, we had mopeds and managed just fine.


I like the other two though.

not really feeling the love for the chatenet there john...

Meh. Take it or leave it, preferably take it.....




.....to the beach at 2 in the morning and shoot it to death. Annoyingly, the heavy quad class cars are pretty strong.

Panhard PL17, lovely!

Don't think I could afford the divorce

tell her indoors that you are taking her on a romantic tour of the loire chateaus etc & accidentally stumble across it..

Hmmmm...she loves that part of France, but after 40 years of marriage she's wise to all my subterfuges

My sincerest condolences. You could have committed arson in a naval dockyard and been out of prison in less time than that.
Seriously, would shoes not bring your good lady round to the only rational way of thinking that applies in situations involving Panhards?

id be interested to know how many pairs of shoes it would be Worth..just in the interests of science like
