Very interesting; I thought that the Quadrilette had an "unstable" look about it. I certainly would not want to attempt a VSCC-style wiggle-woggle reverse in one.

A fine-looking vehicle, shame about that 65kph top speed - it wouldn't have given the contemporary Amilcar a run for its money!

I was fortunate to grow up bilingual (Dutch& English) to the age of five. I think it is responsible for my interest and facility in other languages. I took to Latin and French like a duck to water though my Latin is all but forgotten. Italian came easily but the one thing that is essential is practice which is more difficult to find.
I need more foreign holidays, now!
