French car? French desert. Morocco or Tunisia. Or maybe in the actual Sahara, so Mali or somewhere.

A drag coefficient of 2.08??? That's rather bad....

If so, he's not exactly working hard is he?

They may well be but most of them are not to be found at my local Ford dealer! Like I said, vehicles are built in or near large markets when it suits the maker.

The Concorde was also notorious for being tricky to fly and left plenty of safety accidents in its wake

and the car itself looks refreshingly normal, almost too normal,

Things you learn: the things we call suzies are "glad hands" to the Americans.

Many people think that, but yes, the service brakes are operated by air as described. Springs are for the parking/ emergency brakes.

You could, if they had kept the original Swedish name - så nett....

Also, French in Italy can be handy.
