I see - got it! I knew the 'metal snail' was a common nickname for the 2CV so all makes sense now.

3:07 - 3:40: if Bruce Springsteen were a female from the Midlands these would be the lyrics to Racing in the Street :lol:

Just watched the company car one after seeing the Intercooler post about it, it's amazing :D
