Well, for whoever might be interested in a follow-up : https://dölüggs.ch has some more pictures and stories, alas: German only. Click the link to avoid trouble with characters missing on the US keyboard. I am leaving this forum, but you can contact me at the new site. Thanks for the good...

for the time being, one like and one reply

yeah, sorry for the long pause... For the last 4 or 5 years, there have been some changes to the tractor as well as to the trailer. Might as well speak of a version 2.0 - and in some places even 3.1. No use lingering on "the old stuff". Mel Fisher said "today's the day", so let's see if there...

aaahh... the advantages of a free and international Internet. Sorry for the inconvenience. It has happened before - it will happen again :( What you can do in this case: - use a proxy to surf "outside" the US-limitations - complain to them copy"right" associations and their ilk (probably they...

Now this is something you should relish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCvSbcTNGTc of course, it is slightly off-topic, and of course there are glitches :D. See if you can spot them. (cf. 26:02). ... and happy for your comments. cheeriooooh.... Dölüggs

one for the road... rolling chassis: - air cooled flat twin 552ccm (equals 33.685in³ - so certainly the smallest toy hauler in this forum :D). 35 proud horses - 4 wheels 145x15 - 4 disk brakes - 4 wheel drive - 5 gears. Motor to the left and completely in front of the front axle: this...

Just to make matters worse: this is a schematic of the "5-gears-in-a 4-gear-box". A project Citroën, the original manufacturer, abandoned as being "too complicated". When they proposed a 5th gear on the Citroën GS (whose transmission was derived from the 2CV) in the late seventies, they did it...

Jepp. Easy mathematics: if and when the 4x4 is engaged, 36 hp / 2 = 18 hp to transmit to the rear gearbox. With a lot of security margin. The 16mm diameter is calculated to be sturdy enough, yet flexible, so that the bearing in the middle does by no means bend the axle, but serves only to...

Of course, you are right. I promise, I will never again confound these cars. The point was more, how one design is sold an resold. If you look at the minicars from Citroën, Fiat, Peugot and Mitsubishi: they are almost identical. Only the logo and - perhaps - the headlights differ a bit.

here we go again... It has to be 4WD to pull the trailer -- the 2CV being only front wheel drive, this means "some minor adaptions"... As a matter of fact, the rear propulsion is in the same housing as the front. And this means also that I can get disk brakes all around :D. A speciality of...

remember the Nissan B2000 and the Ford Courier? There is a long tradition in cooperation and copying design. And parts. I remember having troubles with too much tolerance in the steering on the B2000 we bought for our 3 month visit to the US in 1988 - the steering arm of the Ford fitted 100% -...

Hi again @Draenor: Yes, these wheels are 3 lugs. Enough is enough. so.... where was I? Ah, yes - Chassis: So this is how it looks like once you have screwed off all parts that screw (can I say that in english??) - including the suspension. As a matter of fact, the A-chassis is some sort of...

once upon a time there was a small boy of 6 years who took a ride in his aunts Deux chevaux.... No, I'm not going to bore you with that old stuff (although it really happened that way) I am riding 2CV's since 1978, my 2 kids were - if not born - at least concepted in a 2CV :p and I will...
