5) 2CV driving skills competition (Ankaran, Slovenia - April 1994)

The largest annual gathering of Slovenian Citroen club is held somewhere on the Adriatic coast in late April & early May.
For many years, the location has been Kanegra in Croatia, just across the Slovenian border.
In 1994, the event moved to Ankaran, Slovenia.
In later years, the gathering would take place in Lanterna near Poreč, Croatia.
The video shows drivers of 2CVs and derivatives putting their driving skills to the test.

4) 10th 2CV World meeting in Finland 1993

This was my first 2CV World meeting. It took place in Nurmes, Finland. 2CV bunch from Slovenia made a lot of effort to introduce ourselves and our country, because we would be hosts of the next 2CV World meeting in 1995.
Our finest hour may have been the tug-of-war competition. Strong boys from Slovenia were so enthusiastic so that they formed two teams - and the final match was held between those two teams.
