Ah, the Dyane, that's the car I learned to drive in, brings up memories.
Good for a dry french climate, but in our wet climate, after 15 years
(!) the bottom plate was more like an emmenthaler cheese. When it
raine, you'ld better have rubber boots on!
I don't think there are cars made like these anymore :)
