Fields of fun! 2CVGB Registers' Day 2022 

What a happy video! I've not been feeling too well all week but that's cheered me up no end, thanks Ian.

That intro was incredible, sums up perfectly the 2CV vibe

Really enjoyed the meet up. Went with my brother and his car was lucky enough to win the Disc category. Fabulous campsite and the weather helped!

Love the 5 minute intro! Awesome music, into the spirit of the event.

I'm impressed to see several 2CVs with towbars. Must be quite sedate progress. My first Citroen with a towbar was a Visa. I couldn't find one for sale, so I welded up my own.

Totally perfect vid. Great weather, great cars, great music.

Thanks for showing my ‘2CV Taxi’! A brilliant day and good to meet you both👍

It's nice to see an H van which hasn't been converted into a coffee van!

No matter how depressed you are a 2CV always makes you smile. I also see a bit of the Suzuki Samari SJ410 on the front of the Telol's.

I wish I could have shown you this video back in the winter when it was all getting too much for you! Excellent, upbeat and great fun!

I recall the Spot and the first Charleston's - however as a former owner I do love a Dyane. I agree Ian the Dyane styling is tremendous and other worldly in its appeal. I knew a guy who was a local sparky and his form wanted to take his Dyane van off him and replace it with a new Escort van and he fought tooth and nail to keep the Dyane because he loved the fwd platform and the grip no Escort van could ever give him. Floyd on France opened with Keith Floyd driving a dishevelled Mehari at speed on a dusty road in a sun drenched Provence - it just reeked peak France

What a lovely line up of 2CVs. Particularly loved seeing the Citroën Amis, always thought the design was the epitome of French! Top video.

21:51 if anybody is interested the helicopter is a Sikorsky H34, better known in the UK as a Westland Wessex.

Great video, Ian. So good to see so many fantastic examples. Oh, and good choice of music. Really set the mood, somehow. Keep 'em coming. Stay safe, HubNut family.

This took me back nearly 40 years. Our first 2CV was a 1979 yellow one, bought new as we were fed up with the older cars we were running at the time falling apart on us! We joined 2CVGB within a couple of weeks of ownership and has a fabulous 7 or 8 years attending 2CV meets all over the UK and Europe. I think that the last one we went to was the 2CVGB national meet at Worcester rugby club in 1988-ish, in a grotty hand-painted green Dyane. By this time we had 2 young kids and were worried about the safety of the 2CV as a child carrier, so the main family car was upgraded to a BX GT with the Dyane as a fun weekend toy. I doubt that there are any current 2CVGB left from those days, but if there are Rob, Sarah (founder members of the Twin Pot Peeper Poppers) and (the late) Tinker the dog say hello. I'm sure that Tinker is still happily stealing sausages from BBQs at doggie 2CV meets!

Very nice this format with some musical interludes, Ian! Lovely collection of 2CVS and derivatives. Personally I would like an Acadiane and use it as some expedition vehicle. Maybe it can even pull Bob when you fit a GSA engine 😉

wonderfull -anything 2cv ticks my boxes

Looked a great weekend. I saw a lovely cream coloured Citroen Diane 6 in my local village in the Midlands, i got more excited seeing it than the high end cars seen in the car park.

I saw them fluorescent lights and I just uttered to myself that they'd go well in Bob, seems that someone agreed with my utterances, but then I have been and always shall be obsessed with lights... :D And yes, that starlet "Ami" was utterly convincing, wouldn't have guessed it wasn't an actual Ami at all... :P

A lovely meeting by the look of it, with a lovely community, by the sound of it - and lovely cars.

Fantastic! I'm so A series obsessed now, and after watching this I'm going to take my Ami for an evening spin!

Really miss these events, perhaps again one day.

Just wonderful, almost like being in France, dry and brown fields, many Deux cheveux, camping, all chilled, a little wine and cheese for those who wish, it's what summers are for, thank you Mr h, 👍👏

So much wriggly tin in one place. Brilliant

I used to own the framed poster of Car Magazine's visit the Levallois factory in Paris before it closed. I would love another. Mine was stolen.

If that's Morris of "Morris and Sue" with the red 2CV Paul and Alison (John and Jenny J) say Hi, lovely couple and happy memories

One thing I regret in my life is, not having bought that Méhary so many years ago, I went for test driving. Then, prices were low, like chf 1'500 for a "MOT" (called differently in Switzerland: MFK) tested but very lame with a soft top. Heaven on earth must be driving an open Méhary on French Riviera.

First car I drove was a Charleston 2cv in a field with my friends aged 15 , still my favourite car but I do like the Dyane, Ami and love the DS , if I could would love all of these cars. Love your technical description of “twiddly knob dashboard “ . Great video .

Brilliant, Thanks Ian, was very disappointed to be stuck at work for what looks to have been a fantastic weekend.

The panpipes intro just cracked me up, watched too much Fast Show, when I was younger!

The Toyota Starlet made me smile, good effort. How to blag your way into a 2cv meet.

Love the opening sequence of all the cars under the trees without many humans. Looks like they've decided to get together of their own accord, a gathering of mechanical huldufolk.

Flowing fount of sentiment, in a good way! Owned them all, apart from vans at one time. All you will ever need to cart you about. Kept a Dolly as a pet until my health started failing and forced to do an emergency stop on M62. It did of course but it was close. Still miss them but in my 70's still have Citroen C4 Picasso. Lovely video.

Great seeing all these incarnations of 2cv together. Even other cars disguised as 2cvs 🙂 Must have been a great meeting. I really enjoyed your explanation to all different types and models.

Thank you so much for attending, shooting, editing and presenting this wonderful event. The background music was absolutely perfect; it set the mood, and took me to the 2cv meet that I can only dream of. Thank you.

You had me at 2CV, but beer as well, in a hop field, sounds brilliant!

What a lovely spot for this event. Marvellous! Thanks Ian for the pictures...

I 've never heard of Tangara before - it's beautiful!

I found myself getting very stressed out doing my own brake pipes earlier (I HATE doing brake pipes with a passion but needs must). I gave up, wandered off and watched the intro for this video, it did a wonderful job of calming my nerves. Car is now parked back outside with a pair of new flexis and pipe sections! Genuinely helped me, much appreciated 👍 Cheers Ian!

Citroens everywhere. A festival of them. I couldn't judge on a winner. They all are winners. I like the Dyane models. Great cars.

I got a RU-vid video today from Burton 2CV. They are now making LED retrofit lighting for 2CVs. for safer night driving.

I always hanker after a 2CV whenever I watch these videos!

Cars amazing and the venue looks fabulous 🙂

A really enjoyable video Ian, loved the intro, as a new convert to Citroen ownership ableit in my modern Cactus (spotted one on the video) i very much enjoyed this and seeing all the lovely 2CV's, Ami's and the lone H Van.

There may be some confusion regarding erection times, but when it comes to staying power you leave them in the shade. This is a super enjoyable video and a real treat for the uninitiated such as myself. These cars are wonderful to see and you are a champion of that cause. Next time, please, wear a hat, do not neglect your thermostat. Many thanks.

Absolutely brilliant video such beautiful citroens paradise

I’ve only seen one 2Cv in my life. A d ironically it was in the front yard of a house facing the Mississippi River.

One of your best videos ... The first 6 mins was epic ! the rest was only GREAT 😄

One of my long-term obsessions is a 2CV anything...but sadly, not officially imported into the States. By the way, this video ranks very high up in your repertoire, as a super-fine piece of work!

I'm not really a fan of 2cv's (I'm a beetle kind of guy), but I loved this video. The music especially was well done and really added to the production values. Well done Ian. I think this was your best video yet.

We had a butter milk 2cv and never knew it was for one year! Thanks for the info Ian!

Loved the intro, great look into our world 🤣

Great video and the sound track at the beginning sounded spot on, especially the second track. Also I was watching your Bob update on Wednesday, and I have to say yous were looking very relaxed and enjoying yourselves. I like Bob a bit better than a trailer tent with more of a caravan feel to it, and although I kind of prefer folding caravans with their solid sides, the pull out bedrooms give good extra room. As I was watching that video I thought "They're still away travelling it will probably be a while before I get my Model TWK, also they might not have managed to get more yet. Next day knock on the door post man with a parcel, thinking I'm not expecting anything I took it and thanked him. I opened it up and to my amazement and joy it was TWK!! I love it, it's braw (great lol). So from James in Glasgow thank you :). Sorry for the long comment, but it made my day.

Excellent video! Looking forward to meeting some of you lovely folk in a field somewhere just as soon as I've got Franc, my AK250 back out on the road!

Great ride around in the "Daktari" Mehari.

Great location for such an event. You can’t help but smile at this. 😊

Fantastic high quality video. Very enjoyable.

What a great different type of video style from Hubnut. I didn't realize how many different types of 2 CV's there are. Here's to seeing the next interesting Hubnut Video.

Looks like an incredible event!

Many thanks for sharing Ian. I always had a soft 'Spot' for the 2CV and it's derivatives when I was growing up. In my 20's given limited funds I had a choice between the 2CV and the classic Mini's, being young and the usual peer pressure at the time the bonkers handling Mini won. Now (very) much older I'm very tempted to possibly dip a toe into the 2CV ownership if I can find a place to store it, So who knows maybe I might just try and get one at some point as I absolutely love them after all those years. We shall see... Oh and my preferred model would be a van.

I used to see a Blue Bijou regularly at the much missed Selkirk Classic Car Show. I thought it was the best thing to come out of Slough since Thunderbirds... Funny how 2CV go 'Whirr' and Morris Minors go 'Fart'😄

Great Video ,Thankyou Hubnuts

Really enjoyed the intro. Great job Ian!

Best colour scheme has to be the dark blue and white 2CV.

Very nice video 👍. I like the Dyane and the Mehari very much.

Good to see some of the cars I missed! Very laid back and accurate commentary Ian.

Thanks for the wonderful video.

Nice, Ian, Love it, thank you mate...

a field full of good vibes.

You don't have to be drunk to drive a Citroen,but it helps

another great video has always Ian and miss hubnut and hublets and hubmutts 👍

Rewatching this, I wish I was capable of starting a new 2cv factory. I would buy one in a heartbeat maybe two. I was riding to morrocco one year and “ 2cv and R4 raid” was hurtling down the motorway towards Gibraltar from Cadiz from many countries and in many guises. Apparently they were headed to Marrakesh. They were all travelling 60-70 mph hundreds of them

Sorry for too many comments. As a 16 yr old I used to wash a fleet of coaches on Saturday and Sunday and in evenings. My boss was very wealthy owner and could have probably had any car. He had a villa in Greece and every year drove his ami8 back and forth stopping at fancy hotels throughout Europe. Suddenly made me think why didn’t he use his Mercedes? The answers in this vlog. People love these vehicles and create a passion.

A nice, relaxing video! 2CV (or French car?) shows always seem so relaxed 😀

Another good video and lots of lovely cars 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Back in the day, my mate was obsessed with 2CVs (although his first car was a Dyane 6 which was complete deathtrap, lol). We used to spot different 2CVs when we were out and about and I'm sure we counted well in to double figures for either special editions or dealer specials; there was a Cochon which had pink bullbars front and rear and pig decals on the back, the Scotch with tartan doors and I'm sure there was a Wrigley. Can't remember the others ☹️

Hi Iain , great to see Me and my Red n White Dolly @ 1 Min 15 seconds .. a brilliant snap shot of of a Hot relaxing weekend .Also nice to have a natter with you and Mrs Hubnut . video of a

Ahh, Bijou! 😍

Love the way you’ve edited this Ian 🤘

I have no real interest in 2CVs but what great video. What a lovely venue for a car meet. The music you chose compliments the video really well. Thx.

I love the Ami's fantastic looking cars

Nice vid, all the H vans were away serving coffee!

I must admit to an odd itch for a 2cv but find the prices asked for them absolutely crazy. Lovely vid - could almost be en Français

Brilliant intro 👍👍👍👍

Great tour of the cars! At 25:47 I saw a pickup version in the background that didn’t get a mention. I’m sure there were a lot of diy van conversions but did they ever make a pickup 2CV or Dyane? 👍🏻

Nice addition to the channel is the appropriate music.

Great video and very nice music.👍

What a happy video! 😃

2:33 Yes. Definitely an Ami. No sir, no Toyota here!

Was that another Bob you drove past . Great fun great cars🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚙⛺️

Wonderful to see, brought back so many happy memories of my AK400s. Weren’t you briefly van registrar at one time Ian?

Great choice of music 🎶👍

Weren't the people who bought a Charleston limited edition a bit dischuffed when they found out it wasn't?

It just reminds me how no modern car could have the lifespan and versatility of the 2CV, even with today's modular platforms. I'm wondering if Chris Harris is in the club with his early one?

That must be 1 big hop field as it was daylight 1 minute then full night time in another 😉

I just repeatedly said "niiice" all the way through this vid! Looked like a really laid back show and you caught the atmosphere of it beautifully. Did we get Arcadianes with right hand drive? I'd love one, especially with BMW1100 power!

All the 2CVs Amis and DiAnnes and one H van well in Sydney l have seen 2 H vans one is a florist is stsationery in Darling St Balmain and the other was been decalled in a business both have been restored but l have never seen any 2CVs

Red 'LoMax.?' looks Cool, mind..! Could be Tempted by that Wee Beastie..! 😎

Very nice! - This made me remember that not only did I see two 2CVs in the same day, earlier this week I saw a sand yellow ripple-bonnet with cut up rear fenders, that looked suspiciously much like one of those twin-engine Saharas! Could it have been a real one? Or was it just a replica? I will never know. Also spotted a cream/burgundy Dolly on the motorway about a month ago.

"I'm not drunk!" Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much 😉
