Maybe not new - but just saw this recently, and as a non smoker, and one time keen bodybuilder, agree totally............

This topic relates to a C3 the same as a "1954" Renault Dauphine, hensen. I quit, but take your sermon to another venue.

Renault Dauphine - sore point - when I was 13 years old a chap from Poland steered onto the wrong side of the road and piled his Land Rover into my dad's Dauphine and I ended up with a compound fracture of my right ankle - 6 breaks and 22 stitches later.......... !!!

As for C3 topics, well, all sorts go as far as I can see , and maybe a bit of topical humour won't hurt too many people.
