The largest club in the world
AMSTERDAM ( Holland)
– Ten years go, a few Dutch 2 CV owners got together to form the “Netherlands 2 CV Club”. They expected out 30 members but they got more than 100. Their number has since steadily increased, a monthly journal was started, “Little Duck” (the Dutch nick name for the 2 CV), rallies and competitions were held, technical talks were organized (sometimes drawing audiences of up to 1,000 at Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotterdam), excursions and shows were arranged. Today, the Netherlands 2CV club is ten years old and has over 10,000 members; this is the largest club in the world for the enthusiasts of a car. The little duck has a very fine brood.
De plus grand club du monde
AMSTERDAM (Hollande)
– Il y a 10 ans, quelques Hollandais proprietaires de 2 CV se reunirent pour fonder le « Club neerlandais des 2 CV ». Ils s ‘attendaient a moins de 30 inscriptions, ils en recurent plus de 100. Puis ce nombre augmenta progressivement, un journal mensuel, le « Petit Canard » (sobriquet de la 2 CV en Hollande) fut fonde; des rallyes, des concours, des soirees techniques (parfois 1 000 auditeurs a Amsterdam, Rotterdam, La Haye), des excursions, des expositions furent organisees. Aujourd’hui le Club des 2 CV de Hollande a dix ans et plus de 10 000 membres; c’est, du monde entier, le plus important Club des fervents d’une voiture. Le petit canard a eu une bien belle couvée !
