Will it fit?

No; it wouldn't!

We'd been up to Leclerc at Chinon and made an impulse purchase of a 12 drawer unit for me to keep my sewing bits and pieces in - neatly (!)..

We got back to the car with it and immediately realised we had a problem. How on earth were we to get a twelve drawer unit in the back of a 2CV? We spent a few minutes pondering; upright/ seat forward/ lying across the back seat...Would it?

Well it wouldn't! So when we could regain some modicum of control, having laughed so much at our predicament we did what all self-respecting 2CV owners would have done..

We rolled back the roof and Colin passed the unit in through the top... More laughter.... As soon as the unit was tilted, the drawers fell out. It was like a sketch from The Two Ronnies!

BUT... problem solved. We drove safely home and the unit is now filled with sewing essentials...

Could have done with a second one really.....    Only joking!!
