4x4 2CV
Range Rover Blues:
--- Quote from: "V8MoneyPit" ---I'm not sure you can draw a direct comparison between these two vehicles. The LR needs more power to pull more mass, whether it is in mud or on the road. It is much the same as comparing a LR with a Suzi. They both acheive excellent results from very different vehicles.
If RRblues doesn't like the upturned pram (my preferred description :lol: ) it is his choice. No probs with that at all. In fact, I've found it an interesting conversation. I just feel the 2CV, like some other cars, is under-rated by many who have never driven one for any length of time.

yeah, ok, truce.
I don't particulary dislike the 2cv, and I'm not wanting to question anyones choice of car! When I was 17 it was an easy choice, you had an Escort (RWD of copurse) or a Mini, that was that. Anything else was too weird and your mates couldn't help you fix it.
Most people I know now who have 2cvs now are approaching the mid-life crisis, and the 2cv is a real hoot.
But you wouldn't get me in one.

I too buy this every month, but haven't seen it on sale yet.
A great magazine, well worth anyone investigating it.
'Old Glory' is another good one, the next issue (Dec 16th) will be a Dibnaj tribute edition. Watch out for it.

And less weight keeping the tyres in contact with the floor, less weight to push down through the mud to the stuff underneath.

motox bikes are lighter still and cope quite well
as do enduro bikes

2CV's are great fun in snow even without 4 wheel drive,changing gear can be a pi**er.
