Seems a bit contentious to me. That said - having recently completely failed to sell a very good Three Thousand Five for anywhere near acceptable money, there may be something in it!
Cheers

DaveHerns said:Very few DS's had BW35s . Most had the strange semi-automatic box , basically just an automatic clutch
Yep, I truly am that sad..... :lol:
Yes but where would we be without that "sadness"

- that's the one .The gear lever is on the RHS of the steering columnWas that the one that operated the clutch when you put your hand on the gearlever
you must have either been a masochist or seriously attached to that car.stevevanderveer said:yo, speaking of the semi-auto gearbox with the stick operated clutch, my '69 VW had one. Did they sell the beetle semi-autos over there? It was the slowest accelerating car I've ever driven, bar none. And, it had an added-on A/C unit (this was when I lived in Texas) With the A/C on it was dangerously underpowered, comically slow. I wound up ripping out the A/C soon after I bought it and kept it 9 years. It tried to kill me any number of times, left me stranded with vapor lock on jesus knows how many hot Texas country roads, caught fire, crashed by my x-wife, tried to kill me again and I did love it. But that was 30 years ago and my tastes have evolved.....
I think they did - late 60'sDid they sell the beetle semi-autos over there
