Yes, now I also know that and with my current car (Smart 453 cabrio), I  
will do my best to make it last very long.

Oh...

That's quite a long time! The one in my C3 didn't last that long and as my  
Smart features a start-stop system, this one definitely won't last that  
long.

O> That 2CV looks like a funky oversized Volkswagen beetle.  :D

Yep :) It's a quite simple and quirky car. One of the last ones where you  
could start it using a hand crank :)

Anna
