😱 a real life McGuyver...
 
while very cool, i approach this story with a level of caution. where'd the tools come from? how'd he sweat his balls off in a desert without any food/water?

regardless, it is quite cool 🙂
 
We'd say that's an apt description of a Frenchman named Emile who reportedly found himself stranded in the deserts of Northwest Africa after breaking a frame rail and a suspension swingarm underneath his Citroën 2CV.
In other news some dumbass entrusted his personal butt to a Citroën in the deserts of Northwest Africa. 😵
 
I love how this pops up now, and a little digging gets you a date of 2003. Must be a slow news decade.
"For more information: full story and technical details in 2CV Magazine March-April 2003"

LOL!
 
So it was easier to take the thing apart in the desert and reengineer it into a motorcycle than to come up with a makeshift mend that would get him out of the desert?

😵
