Very regularly the Citroen Club Holland organises its autum meeting very close to the main office of UCP, so we brought a short visit this afternoon. The venue is located in the middle of the Rotterdam Port area.
There were some very interesting cars, such as a Hybrid 2CV, that has been fitted with an additional 7KW electric engine, which can take the car up to 80 kph. It is a fully privately developed system whereby the electric engine and the petrol engine work separately. The electric engine can be engaged when the gearbox is in neutral. A cheap but effective system indeed. The 2CV is proudly sporting the Prius badge too.
Another car that stood out was a single engined 4x4 2CV, a conversion carried out in the UK. Furthermore a CXTurbo2GTi was shown. with a tweaked turbo engine giving around 200 BHP. In the planning are 350 BHP....
A short selection of the cars present are shown here, enjoy.

a selection of the 2CV's, a Xantia Break with not exactly the right wheels and a BX GTi, with 1000 kg and 125 BHP not the slowest version

A Citroen DS21 semi-auto, a Dyane 6 (the Bangled version of the 2CV), the eternal HY and finally the XM diesel, a superior long distance cruiser.

Is this an anti-patriotic sentence saying you are right?

It would be hard to drive this car. It is a FWD, isn't it?

I would rather educate myself first on french cars before making such a poor statement.
btw, where exactly is the UCP office?

i totally forgot about it :( i have been there for a few times already in the past, together with my father, one of the biggest citroen addicts i know. The 2CV you are talking about is also featured in the last number of the Citroexpert magazine.

Don't worry, Rijoh was just joking.

we went there together, but the abysmal weather made many of the participants leave early, so we were back within ten minutes. Here are some impressions of this afternoon, look at the threatening skies in some of the pics. Today there was a superb Ami8, a DSBreak towing a tiny caravan, and a Visa Commerciale, fitted with a turbo diesel engine and a very open exhaust. Finally a LWB version of the HY is shown, serving as a camper.
UCP's Xantia sneaks in at some of the pics as well :D
