@brynylontv

Thanks for the info on the suspension.

I crashed my first car too. I bet I crashed mine quicker than you did yours. 15 minutes for me! That's something to be proud of, NOT. I went too fast (of course) down a dirt road on baldish tires. When I stopped spinning, I was in a guy's front yard. My speed had been lovingly reduced by a 6" diameter wood post that had 'jumped' right into my car's front end. Youth! It's amazing any of us survive it.

@deezynar It pumped fluid from the front wheels to the rear when it hit a bump, and vice virsa. Slightly dodgy system but they were comfy. My 1st car was an 1100. I crashed it as ya do tour first car lol

How did this suspension work, and how does it differ from Citroen's hydropneumatic suspension?

wtf, no way the car did not break down after the big ramp!
