That’s cute!
What they did to carry the second spare reminds me of the Visa Grand Raid, which used a similar arrangement:

Whoa what an elaborate cage on that Visa! I always wonder if the extra weight was worth it... I love the mesh on the taillights.
Oh, and
but I wonder if their rear screen entire freaking car will withstand for long all the shocks and jiggling
FTFY lol

‘ You will have good fortune both on and off road for the next 3 (three) days. May your roads be un-jiggled and smooth.’

Although not a really a competitive event, but more of a publicity stunt (each car was driven by a different TV crew of from French-speaking countries) the Grand Raid
wasn’t by any means
a stroll

and above all Citroën–

. Visas were lovely quirky cars, but they felt really tinny.
I suppose the Twingo is stronger than we give it credit for (having just two doors and a hatch helps) but ultimately it all boils down to how thoroughly the shell i

reinforced... and how carefully it

driven.

You were calling?
Amsterdam-Dakar is a banger rally for charity, going from Amsterdam to Dakar, raising funds for various charities. At the end of the rally they drive the cars to Gambia, where the cars are auctioned off to locals, where to proceeds of that go to local charities there.

Awesome, thanks! I hope the cars are a hit over there, there must be a lot of cars
rare for the area. A good cause and a fun time. I love the whole thing.
