Where do you keep the front brakes?

Ah, that's why it wouldn't stop...

All DSs have inboard front disk brakes.

The French are weird!

You've got that right!

Alfa did that with the Sud, reduces un sprung weight which is good. But keeps them nice and warm next to the engine which is not so good.

Citroen got around that by making the pads from asbestos!

I had to clean the numberplate with a leaf because it was unreadable.

It's not really in keeping with the concept of this thread though is it? - When that picture/footage was taken, that car wasn't a classic, it was brand new.

I've posted this before, but it still kinda amuses me:

I frequently spectate at classic rallies so will often see classics in need of a good wash, but here are some photos from the 2012 Rally Of The Tests of entries that you might think the owners would hesitate to use because of their value.

Personally, I love to see them being used in anger like this.

Some from Le Jog 2011 of cars which you might not think would be a first choice for classic rallying

Well over 10 years ago. Still in use, too. Wife's just got home in it.
