Glad that I wasn't in it, the car has been severely damaged. But hey, it's a 2CV, so why wonder about that. :angel:

But is gives one a visible impression of how powerful those engines are.

Ouch! Reminds me of the time Clarkson and his team blew up a caravan with a dragster... fitted with a fighter engine.

Many happy landings,
