  • Yes, it's the momentous day in which I actually took my 1986 Citroen 2CV6 to Croatia! 1800 miles after leaving home, we reached the Adriatic town of Bakar.
    The next video will include the 23rd World Meeting of 2CV Friends from Samobor, Croatia. Before that meeting, I headed to the coast. For lunch.

    Elly adds character to all location shots of the beauty of Europe, and continues to amaze and show how resilient she truly is. To witness this little car not only get 45 mpg, but take on these mountain passes and motorways speaks to true engineering of years gone by, "marking her territory as she goes". Bang on.

    Loved your spot of the red Zastava when you got into Slovenia. The 128 is another car celebrating its half century in 2019. Unbelievable to think that 50 years old Fiat were putting lightweight alloy head belt driven OHC engines in small FWD family cars.

    Fantastic work, that's an epic journey. Good to see you on good driving roads after the tedium of Northern Europe. It's a bit out of your way, but if you can get down the coast a bit you will be blown away by how stunning Croatia is. I once had an enforced stay in Makarska (paperwork problems) and I'll never forget the beauty of the Adriatic and the town. An d you would love Trogir of course. The road down that way was a bit scary when I drove it due to bonkers drivers, but you'll never forget the views.
