Multiengine cars

Winged devices commonly have two or more engines. Whereas most cars are singles.

Among the few exceptions... how does Citroen Sahara drive?

...the original 2CV was strange enough... ;D...!

Quote:
"When asked about the 2CVs performance and acceleration, many owners said it went "from 0-60 in one day". Others jokingly said they "had to make an appointment to merge onto an interstate highway system".

I've seen an article on a twin-engined Mini... based on the original one by its inventor (he nearly killed himself in a crash in it).

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
