i've been on the highway in a first gen renault 4 (603cc) top speed in a downhill was 70 km/h with a rear wind. rigs would blow us off by the side when they passed. if i didn't shit meself was prolly out of constipation...
the funky part was the 3 speed tranny had an horizontal lever coming out just below the dash and you had to pull it to engage the clutch or something, twist 90 degrees and release for first, another 90 for second and so on... i don't remember it well. i was like 9 or 10 years old at the time... have no clue how he reversed that thing... just like a 2cv re-wrapped i think
