I was impressed by them when I drove in France years ago. I was
fascinated by the way they negotiated a curve that the other traffic
did not even notice. They slowed down. The rear of the wildly leaning
2CV jacked up on the rear suspension so badly that you could see the
whole undercarriage with the passengers holding on for dear life. And
of course, occasionally, I saw one tumbled over at the side of the
road.
