Slowest Vehicle

[Reid3400]

had a Citroen (SP?-doesn't it have 2 little dots over one of the letters?) 2cv that need to be in 3rd, after the light changed, and before you got thru the intersection.

My Canukistan keyboard does it Citroën.

My Canukistan keyboard does it Citroën. Edit Actually everyones keyboard does it by calling up the ASCII Code "alt 137" ë

thanks, have not a clue of the technical stuff, considering that the next time I need to use it,(if ever) it'll be easier for me to say "just those two little dots""

A 72 Pinto with an automatic trans! A guy owed me money (that I knew I would never get), so he gave me the Pinto...I got the "short end of the stick." That Pinto was soooooo slow, I literally had to hit the gas 3 seconds before the light turned green, or the car behind me would lay on the horn!

Mine was a 65 Renault Dauphine. Speedometer went up to 65 blew the engine at 58mph. Towed to Renault who had dealers in 1968. They said son I'm sorry to say you need a new engine. I said how much will that be?, they said sorry to say it will cost you $110.00 My responce was OH NO

Try it, hold down the alt key and press 137 and let go. I find alt 248 very handy, 25°C or 77°F

A guy I worked for years ago had a Subaru 360 "pickup truck". The 360 stood for 360cc, two cylinder two stroke; when you were sitting in this critter, your knees were farther forward (by a couple of inches) than the headlights. I got stopped on US Route 6 (I didn't dare take it on I-80) between Ottawa and Marseilles, Illinois with a load of scrap radial engine cylinders doing 62 mph, with my foot flat on the floor. I told the cop that I saw the 62 on the speedo, but didn't believe it. He said if he hadn't seen it on the radar, he wouldn't have believed it either! He was a good guy, and let it slide. :-)

Those were so cool, and just a ball to play around with, I think that comes from being scared of hitting something head on; they also made a van.
I worked at a Subaru / Lotus dealer and we had one of the 360 pickups as a parts runner truck; I think we would fill the gas tank once a month.
