2CV overload! The 23rd World Meeting of 2CV Friends, Samobor, Croatia.

The reason for our mammoth roadtrip! Yes, it's the 23rd World Meeting of 2CV Friends in Croatia - #2CVtoCroatia #Citroen100 #Party
Here's a bit of a look at what a World Meeting is all about. There are 2CVs, Dyanes, Amis, homebrew paint jobs, DAKs, Tomos and Cimos locally-produced Citroens and, above all else, people having lots of fun!

You came you saw and you conquered ! Having moved well outside of your normal channel comfort zone you have over the past few weeks produced some of the very best viewing on KZbin. Once again I have been glued to my seat lapping up every minute of the video. Your slightly disjointed and random roving reporter style is very refreshing because it avoids sensationalism whilst still capturing the quirky and interesting. I can't wait to see your travels further afield later in the year - I predict your subscribers and viewing figures will continue to grow from strength to strength. Brilliant.

[@jonathangriffiths2499]

Could n't agree more

[@yanndenis5628]

Stunning content

[@thepofmeister]

What He said! - with adroit articulation that tantalised exquisitely as I concurred, verily!

[@MGBetts1]

@@thepofmeister - Yeah! What?

[@Zadster]

It feels like some strange yet utterly brilliant combination of John Peel and Michael Palin. With the merest hint of Alan Whicker.

[@waltertaljaard1488]

A testament of utility engineering excellence. Many of these little 2 cilinder aircooled boxers have been running and driving for more than 50 years. And they probably still will after another 50 years. It shames me to say that in their days and as a youth I did not particulary like them, because I failed to see the sheer genius of their simple, but robust technology. .

[@joedarkness808]

hope you had a basket of eggs with you as you were driving over the field ;-)

[@garyhardwick8489]

I soooooo want a 2CV! Looks like a great event.

[@m1keheard]

I know you don't drink. But I have been staying at the in-laws for three days now, and we have today lost the cricket and I have broken my sunglasses. However I have just made my bedtime excuses and snuck a beer up to my bedroom, and there is a new Hubnut video to enjoy. Tonight, you are my sanity.

[@kitbrown3895]

My dad and his friends all had 2cvs during the 90s. One of them painted it different colours and wrote THE SHED on the bonnet. Another painted it to look like a bumblebee

[@legambaz]

I'm enjoying these 2CV meet so very much. Have you to thank for sharing and taking me around all over the convention. Long live the 2CV World Meeting. Can't wait for more videos from you with Elly.

[@costabravaguy]

I don't think I've ever seen so many 2CV's in one place before. Quite an amazing event by the looks of it. You covered it well. I absolutely adore the 2CV, Dyane and the Ami's.

[@geofffisher3902]

Brilliant line about brian cox,spat me tea out.

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

6:35 Well there's a side you don't see much from HubNut, attracting the local birds

[@xyz2121]

I think Ellie has the prettiest colour-scheme of all the 2 CVs.

[@olik136]

I think the model line "Dolly" mostly came with that colour-scheme

[@lifelong5425]

"Nice chips".....so, a massive thanks for showing 2 CV has a place not only there, but throughout the world . Elly, patiently in place, taking it all in from a distance, having delivered you to the event, and readying for the return with new king pins awaiting.

[@donnageorge-henderson5419]

Fantastic! What a great show, thunderstorm and epic adventure by Chan 😎

[@johncollymore1697]

Great videos - MANY thanks. Did anyone turn up in a Sahara? That would be an adventure: Wales to Croatia and back, with double the fuel consumption, double the noise... Good Times. Keep up the good work. Best wishes.

[@HubNut]

Yes. Just failed to catch a Sahara on video.

[@klwthe3rd]

I think it's so funny that every single 2CV event that Hubnut attends he always finds his friend's car among the masses. Great video. I think the 2CV community is the red headed step child of the Citroen family!!! HEHHE

[@Zadster]

I think it would be difficult to imagine a Ferrari or Porsche meet on that particular field. If any surface was designed to show of the 2CV's suspension, it has to be that one. Much respect to that chap at the side of the main road who came prepared with a deck chair, can of beer and camera. Well done! I have to say, I am really going to miss these videos when the European adventure finishes. In the mean time, what a ride!

[@Camhin1]

You should be so proud of what you've achieved with this series! Absolutely fantastic to watch.

[@ginggur17]

Love love love that camper.

[@ginggur17]

It’s very popular with the ladies. They seem to love the 2CV. Very nice too some of them.

[@doctorcraptonicus7941]

That reminds me I've got to get my sewing machine fixed -OW! OW! Stop throwing things, I'm going, I'm going!

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

Bloody cool event 👍makes me want a 2CV and move back to Europe 😁

[@paultaylor701]

This is what the world should be like. The city of the future, everyone in 2cvs and tents.

[@bennyhannover9361]

The TAM Truck was produced at Maribor until 1996, from the sixties on the company used licences for german " Magirus-Deutz" lighter trucks with aircooled diesel engines.

[@josepelotudogomezcredulo6993]

I used to move around in a Ami-8 and in a Mehari (made here in fiberglass reinforced plastic).Both had 3CV engines.(In fact all Citroens made in the Argentine and Uruguay had M-28 ("3cv",603 cc)engines).And worked as Citroen mechanic for 20 years they are tehe most reliable cars I´ve ever saw.A friend has a 3CV Charleston and he loads it with wife and dog and makes 1000 miles every year for holydays.He prefers it to its new Fiat 2018 car for holydays!.(BTW all the Meharís sold in the Rio de la Plata zone where make in a little town in my country(Uruguay) and a guy still owns the molds to make the fiberglass parts for the body.

[@chubbyroyston3880]

All those 2cvs sounds like a 1970 s typing pool

[@kennyscott1089]

I would love one. Very useful in my life for sure.

[@waterpowerspaniels]

Ian what a fantastic road trip, wish you and Ellie Godspeed, on your return .

[@jarthurs]

Finding friends on a site like this is a prime example of what the app 'what3words' was made for!

[@drazenradosevic7467]

Travelling from Zagreb to Vienna yesterday, and there were many 2CV's going back home, some pulling big camper trailers, laboring bravely on the motorway while other cars were zipping along at 130 - 150 km'h

[@kristalmartin3684]

Hi Ian,well what can one say,a great gathering of Gallic grandness on grass ?? (sort of)much mindfulness musings in the mud,not to mention a cornucopia and crescendo of Citroen's and some of which have doubtful dubiousness descendancy........basically what a super turnout of cars from all over Europe I was not aware that there was so many 2CV's still around,thanks for the entry ticket, most enjoyable, and now ????? the journey home ??......... best wishes

[@justarel]

Ian, Have to thank you for posting these videos of your trip and the event.

[@markharris7662]

What a great event. Friendly people great to see them having fun.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

What a sight. All the same but all different and all fabulous. The world as Citroen imagined it in their dreams. I can't add any more than John North below. Cheers.

[@pauldavies6037]

A simply amazing event compete 2CV overload now what an amazing journey

[@pauloconnor7951]

Hub nut, Your dry humour brings me back time and time again.

[@nigelcharlton-wright1747]

Looks more fun than the Triumph Spitfire Weekend in Venlo, Holland that I went to twice (I think) with my brother, supposed to be in his GT6 but ended up going in my Vitesse, than the following year in my Humber Sceptre, which was in the Spitfire convoy as the Sceptre and a Rapier, even though I was taken by a German in his Spitfire. Dam those remote control Rootes cars, they get everywhere! Now I want a Ami8!

[@nakoma5]

10:30 A Lincoln in Croatia?! Who would have thought? That's like seeing a 2CV on a huge Texas highway. x D

[@jurekvakva]

I've actually seen both Lincolns (and other US-made cars) in Croatia, and a 2CV in Texas.

[@johnathanrowley2707]

Like the variety of 2cvs styles and types, never seen some of them especially a miairi and 2cv limo

[@Grant0610]

You can never tire of the noise of the 2-cylinder Citroen. 😁😍

[@qrm8772]

Thanks again for turning this old American guy onto 2cv's. I am absolutely fascinated by the engineering of these cars that has endured to this day. The variants are awesome as well such as the Dyane and Ami

[@mikehawes4935]

Thoroughly enjoyed this , really loving going back over these old videos. Reminded me of the old VW meets in the late 80's , great festival atmosphere. Thank you

[@joaofarinha7953]

I too was in Croatia with my family by this time , although I went by plane and to Dubrovnik. I surely enjoyed it. I think on our 3rd day we got rain all day with thunderstorms. Beautiful country it is 👍

[@Paul8342]

The sound of those kingpins always make me nervous haha!

[@dandare2586]

Glad you made it, random internet man must be proud !!! Have a good journey back. I would definitely stop in Bavaria if you are going that way :)

[@bennyhannover9361]

20:10 lovely Ami 6 late version from 1966/67 , in french called L' amissis, mean little Frollein !

[@grayfool]

What a great event. It's a brilliant example of what can happen when people have something in common and don't take themselves too seriously.. Rest of the world please take note. I seem to remember Tomos mopeds many years ago. Very interesting stuff. Thanks so much for sharing. Excellent stuff.

[@trevor_1963]

"Nice.....chips"

[@richardcallison1637]

The 2CV event looks amazing (trumps the French one!), as does the whole 2CV experience. Until I discovered your brilliant channel, I had never really appreciated them but my life is becoming more and more full of want for a CV of my own! I love the whole classlessness of it all and the seemingly endless ways in which to personalise, restore, modify...... 23.50 is probably my fave but they all appeal! Another fantastic video! You’ve nailed it with this adventure!

[@shaunw9270]

Thanks for sharing this wicked event with us. I am impressed there are so many 2CV's still roadworthy in the world & doubly impressed by this meeting ! Enjoy Ian 👍

[@colblimp]

Am I the only person who, after watching that video, wants to buy a 2CV?!

[@danr1920]

At our Corvair convention a couple of weeks ago we were at an overpriced hotel near Chicago. They did have a huge parking lot for all the events and a huge room for indoor parts vendors and a few museum cars. Most parts vendors were outside. Just under two million Corvairs were made between 1960-1969. These events are lots of fun, you never get to see fellow collectors the rest of the year.

[@innercityblues4921]

You arrived safe and sound :) It really does look quite the gathering, so many different colours, bodies and styles, it's been great to track your journey with you, just remember to put your feet up from time to time and let it soak in. Wonderful :)

[@phillipsharpe6459]

You need a 2cv van in your life, keep up the good work 😂👍

[@hypnotised-clover]

"That's German I think, yup, it's been to Poland before."

[@lordleonusa]

That town is like some weird kind of dream, where every other car is a 2CV

[@H4lminator]

What a nice 2cv festival that was. I enjoyed every second of your video. Couldn’t help but smile all 38 minutes. You got me me thinking about owning a 2cv once. Very very nice little cars and people driving them. This meet has such a different vibe as other car meets where most cars are lowered and tupperwared.

[@sg8539]

Really liked the look of the 2cv van reminds me a little of the Renault 4 van. Nice walkabout through town spotting all the 2CV's. Nice video yet again, thanks Ian.

[@nmas2956]

Fantastic video - very well done Elle & Ian

[@chrisfrob]

What an absolutely stunning trip this has turned out to be. Your videos and presentation have opened many an eye and continue to do so. First the Citroen event and now this.......truly amazing and such good fun to watch. Some of the best footage on KZbin. Very good work my friend.

[@Thrallhorde]

Ian, great respect for you and your journey to my country. Regards to you and your Elly... Love your chanel and what you doing for 2CV community.

[@Psymanbee]

I think the full convertible ones are beautiful....

[@chesswizard31]

Great video! That was a lot of fun to virtually tag along with.

[@redsorgum]

Brilliant! At 24:00, very cool rusty 2cv. It would take too long to comment on everything, eye candy overload. Thanks 🙏🏻 for posting this. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@biggee1970]

Great adventure so far, can't wait to see the videos on the return home. Great work

[@graemew7001]

Ha! Another Graeme Wilson enjoying these videos!

[@voncoconut5293]

"...this one is German, I think...been to Poland before." 9:26 Hilarious!!!

[@rydermike33]

Agree totally with John's comment. Essential viewing, very well done on reaching your goal of the 'World Meeting'. More adventures to follow, excellent....

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Ian, what a awesome 2cv event,so many variations of Citroen cars, paint work on most of them were very interesting to see.

[@paultucker1272]

That looked a fun event! Looking forward to more adventures on your way home. Safe travels :)

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, must feel great seeing all condition/models, and all mixed together.

[@chrisbradley1192]

Great fun indeed! Muchas gracias for the bonus thunderstorm footage.

[@vazquezwilfredo]

Wow so cool! 🚘

[@saintfunny]

Inspiring content, you are sharing a big slice of your life with the world & I & so many others want to see more. You take the average & polish it a bit then forget something, perfect.

[@advancelast1740]

Really looking forward to this one !

[@jgh548]

Wow, that looks so much fun. I never knew that little car was so popular. Hope you’re enjoying your much earned holiday!

[@twocvbloke]

Lovely collection of 2CVs and the derivatives there, lots of oddball creations too, but that motorbike, wow, that looked amazing!!! Really wish I could have been there to see all this, but alas, no way of doing so, but, oh well... :)

[@foxtrotkilomike]

I do love your channel, thank you.

[@colourado85]

So many nice 2cv's, very good. That red Ami with the round headlight is indeed very delicious.

[@TheStwat]

What a superb video, Ian. Very enjoyable indeed. :)

[@terrypreston197]

Antics are occurring , haha love it

[@macgvrs]

Some 2CVer's seem a bit eccentric. I am truly stunned at the limo. I hope they have a larger engine in that. Also, the articulated 2CV that was part car and part trailer. The variety and creative ways people have expressed their personality in their cars, it's just amazing.

[@zola561]

Another great report eagerly awaiting the next:)))))

[@rahmann936]

Your destination finally done and dusted.👍 So many tin snails, and rare ones too. My favourites were the convertibles and the racing ones. I do like a lowered 2vc. Would affect its off road use, and ride quality though. The yellow one with the sliding sunroof very rare indeed. Well at least, it won't seem as long going back as getting there. 😊If you're going back the same route. It never does. I would take the ferry back most of the way.👍 I don't know if it would be quicker and cheaper. But it would give you and the 2cv a break from all the mammoth driving you have to do.

[@HubNut]

Thanks. I'm driving back to The Netherlands.

[@mattw8332]

Ooh the yellow Belgian 2 CV was nice. 😍 I get gooey at the sight of colour coded wheels on any car. I'm sure Brian Cox would be delighted to have his likeness painted on a bonnet of an old Citroen! 😁 Great work Ian. Enjoying your dry sense of humour! Eg: the waste bin getting carried on the lorry for a look around the site. 😅

[@AllThingsAlex]

Superb content Ian. Can't believe the months gone so quickly. A real pleasure to watch and some superb moments. I told my mum and she remarked you should be on television! Have to agree. Who needs TopGear when you've got TopNut ! :) Love it :D

[@jgh548]

Alex Child Top Gear is fake. This is real and if you ask me, exactly what a medium like the internet should be about.

[@linseyyoung1772]

Looked like a lot of fun!

[@LedCROwbar2]

My Croatia. Country where people drive various bins around just so they could see whats going on. Very kind of us indeed. 😂

[@terabyte1695]

Another good video Ian,looks like 2cv heaven, you made it ....Elly made it,well done and keep doing what you do ,camera angles,no mic,wobbly hands ,see you on the return leg in a future video... take care.

[@micheltebraake7915]

Big event there. Halfway through the journey Ian, make it a nice return trip. Elly does great when she can ride every day.

[@derek-press]

brilliant Sunday afternoon entertainment thanks Ian

[@gryfandjane]

Extraordinary.

[@robertngreen6]

So pleased for you (and Elly) that you made it to the World Meeting. Thank you for taking us with you, it's been such fun. I hope you continue to share your onward journey and eventually homeward bound - do you have a route yet? Cheers Mr HubNut (water of course). #2CVtoCroatia

[@HubNut]

Now in Germany, destination Netherlands again.

[@frothe42]

Gatherings like this always seem to have a wild party atmosphere. Well, it is summer, life is too short, just enjoy, which you are, as well as many, many others! Shocked to see what looks to be a late model Lincoln MKZ while you were filming 2CV'S in the town centre! And the thunderstorm ⛈ reminds me of ours here in upstate New York, just had a powerful one last night. Extremely interesting journey!

[@Useaname]

What a fantastic event. Thanks for sharing. I was curiously looking at 2cv adverts last night. Some amazing restored versions. Looks like a great community. Edit. That cream colour gerry (hope that's correct) at 33.40 is a car I would drive.

[@andypsunshineisle5655]

Next meeting hosted by the swiss, better start saving .

[@jurekvakva]

Cracking video! I actually attended this meeting, but the video shows some things I did not get to see. Kudos for including the Tomos and Cimos built cars. I'm a proud owner of the following Citroens built in Slovenia: - Tomos GS 1015cc (1971) - Cimos GS X 1.2 (1978) - Cimos GS Pallas (1978) - Cimos GS Super 1.3 (1979) - Cimos Dyane 6LC (1980) This is in addition to the following French built hydropneumatic Citroens: - CX Prestige (1985) - CX Break (1990) - XM V6 Exclusive (1997)

[@mohammedsayfulahmed8651]

Some amazing vehicles and story’s

[@mikestrang6229]

Now that looks like great fun I wish my friend (a 2cv driver) and I could have made it. Chan and family were here in Alaska at my friends (the 2cv driver) shop we worked on his 2cv so it was fun seeing him. your hubnut decal on my vw van has been traveling a lot around Alaska

[@lanehogger1532]

Well done. Glad you made it and are having a great time. Hope she gets you home before those noises get too bad!

[@davidk6271]

Good effort. Well done.

[@moviebod]

Mission acomplished! Well done!
