Default Hello

Been out of the loop for awhile (computer problems) came back tonight and
thought I was connected to the Automotive History Channel Newsgroup!

Nice stuff guys, hand cranks, 2CV's, MG's, and on and on. Cool stuff!

My hand crank experience is limited to 4cyl propane engines on terrazzo
grinders! Boy, I had a fun childhood ;-)

I doubt you can help him, how much experience do you have with hand-
cranked 2CV computers? <GD&R>

If a 2CV were a computer, its CPU would be an 8080a.

More likely a 4004, with an 8008 in the sports version. And a 6501 in the GT.
The 8080A was much too hot for that tiny chassis.
