Putting out the bins. (Hope the bin men donโ€™t mistake her for rubbish in the morning). This little jaunt in the 2CV has led me to the leafy Parisian suburb of Meudon - steep, narrow streets and fine views.

Absolutely! People donโ€™t realise how much money it saves. Otherwise, youโ€™re just paying somebody to figure out how your car worksโ€ฆ before they even start to solve the issue!

Little bugger bit back - but only because of the backstreet garage buffoon whoโ€™d attempted to replace the clutch before abandoning it. The value of specialists and a good owners club cannot be underestimated!

Another one saved. This Smart Roadster was due to be broken for spares so I rescued it last year, spent a few months sorting out numerous issues and it has now departed for a life with a lovely new owner. This year marks the 20th year with my Roadster Coupรฉ, scarily.

Pulled its face off, had a fiddle, changed the oil and replaced its face so itโ€™s ready for the next 5000 miles.
