Don't be mean Sandy. :lol:twocorgis said:Calling it a "power" plant might be a bit of a reach, no? :lol:
After all, doesn't "deux chevaux" mean "two horse (power)" in French?
Yes "Deux Cheveaux" means 2 horse power, but it's 2 "fiscal H.P." (France's registration costs and insurance rates are different depending on the "fiscal power" of your vehicle, determined after the real H.P. ratio but don't ask me how :? .) And 2 fiscal HP is as low as it gets.... remember, this vehicle was conceived as the cheapest and most reliable means of transportation possible, for the broke people of France at the end of WWII.
But come on! That thing has 45 REAL horse power!!!! :lol: :lol:
Impressed yet? :shock:
