Shame about your Dyane, but 'racing' on public highways is illegal & irresponsible. That gate could easily have been another car, or even someone out for a walk. No matter how many times you drive a road, or how familiar you think you are with it, the unexpected can & does happen. You got away lightly this time & the Dyane is gonna be repairable, next time you might not be so lucky... _________________ www.international2cvfriends.com |

I agree, theres a time and a place for everything and racing on the road only leads to death and damage eventually.
I went to a Road Traffic Collision the other day where two guys were racing. One overtook a slower moving car, but as his friend did the same he crashed into a cyclist coming the other way and KILLED HIM. The cyclists bike was thrown 300metres into a field due to the impact .
BOTH OF THE DRIVERS WERE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH DEATH BY DANGEROUS DRIVING. (thats prison in this country) .
DRIVE SAFE GUYS, ITS NOT ALWAYS YOUR FAULT!!!! _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE". |

I've understood the risks and luckily it was a small crash I had and I know now to slow down and not push my car to the limits, but to take care and preserve my car and my life... _________________ Owner of the low, mean and slow dyane... |

Are left front Dyane fenders as hard to find over there as they are here? I see right ones everywhere but no lefties. _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to.

I havnt been able to find any dyane wings yet so I dont know if 1 side is rarer to find than the other, its a bit of a pain and also the fact I havnt got a car to go and pick them up with.
Looks fun;

I am sure if you ask some of the (british) guys here on the forum they could help you out with parts. _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to.
