Ok!

Basically, there’s a rural fire department in France that has a mountain as part of their district. With buildings on top and a narrow one-lane road.

One night, a patrol called them out to the top of the mountain. And the firefighter in charge was following the trucks up to the top… only to get stuck, because the trucks occupied the turn-around space at the top and the road was too narrow to turn on. So he was forced to drive back down the entire length of the road in reverse - with someone standing behind hm with a signal light, to keep him from driving off the edge of the mountain.

After that, he ordered the creation of this deux-headed Frankenchevaux from the front halves of a pair of 2CV’s. Each half retained the engine and steering, so the car could be driven in either direction without turning around.

That's very cool. Such an odd looking car but a great story.

I can't match speed but I can match French made...

Oooooo, if only I still had photos of my old R5 Turbo... It was a total pile of crap of course, being a Renault, but boy was it fun to drive.
