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

[@johnnorth9355]

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 ;-)

[@geofffisher3902]

Brilliant line about brian cox,spat me tea out.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@garyhardwick8489]

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

[@donnageorge-henderson5419]

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

[@Camhin1]

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

[@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

[@paultaylor701]

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

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@waterpowerspaniels]

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

[@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

[@markharris7662]

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

[@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

[@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

[@hypnotised-clover]

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

[@justarel]

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

[@doctorcraptonicus7941]

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

[@ginggur17]

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

[@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.

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

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@pauloconnor7951]

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

[@martinda7446]

@16:41 a chap has managed to make his 2CV look like a ragtop VW Beetle? Been a brilliant voyage so far. Congrats.

[@voncoconut5293]

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

[@pauldavies6037]

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

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@Grant0610]

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

[@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 👍

[@johnathanrowley2707]

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

[@ginggur17]

Love love love that camper.

[@Paul8342]

The sound of those kingpins always make me nervous haha!

[@kennyscott1089]

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

[@chubbyroyston3880]

All those 2cvs sounds like a 1970 s typing pool

[@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.

[@jonathanhardie7377]

Watching this is almost as good as being there. But without the Europop overload, questionable toilets, sleep deprivation, sun stroke and hangovers it isn't quite the same!

[@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.

[@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!

[@lordleonusa]

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

[@phillipsharpe6459]

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

[@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.

[@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)

[@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.

[@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....

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

Goal achieved Hubnut...... doesn't seem that long ago you were panicking in your garage with Ellie in bits. Good series of video's mate and good luck on the journey home. Can't wait for your mechanical buffoonery to start again when you try to fix cars again and a bonnet falls off or your project is stalled because TWC has the wrong bits sent out. Thank you for sharing it with us.

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!

This has been such a cracking series. Me and my kids have been watching along and loving it. Our summer jaunt is very close to yours. We started in Amsterdam but, then went Prague, Switzerland, Milan, Pula, drove 500km from Pula to Split on Friday and saw a few 2cv’s along the way (not your good self though), we’re staying in Split for 10 days before heading to Germany, I wonder where is next for Elly & Ian? As a child, my mother had a 2cv, such delightful cars. Good stuff hubnut

Eg: the waste bin getting carried on the lorry for a look around the site. 😅
