« If we make normal trips with it, we are very popular »: Clint (26) drives with a very remarkable goat (inland)

Is this a construction to ride the local advertising test once a year?

« No. The fries suit has been on our goat since my father bought it twenty years ago. She was still white at the time, but he had the car painted over in yellow: the color of crispy fries. »

But why?

« We have a chip shop in Merksem. I was only six when the car came to us, so I don’t remember that the car wasn’t there ever. When my dad bought the car from a garagist in the area, he was busy renovating the frying. The facade then hung a big pack of fries. The garagist suggested that you had to look at the other children as a child. »

He served as a promotion for the fryer.

« Yes, that was the first goal. But in the meantime Pa and I have fallen in love with that car. We have taken the publicity off, because he is more beautiful in even yellow. But he is still often parked for the case. »

He still drives smoothly?

“Certainly. Today it is even the daily car of PA, because our pick-up is out of use for a while. And we often go to meetings. This summer there is the world meeting in Slovenia. We are not bringing it to a trailer. We do the whole ride with the two of us in the goat. Wonderfully rolled open when the sun shines.”

No shock that he is rising with such a colossus on the back?

« 2CVs, and in the past all Citroëns, have a special suspension. The car is going well in the curves, but it is very difficult to get a goat on her side. We have not yet succeeded. » (laughs)

Popular animal sure, that goat?

« In the meantime, they are used to us at the meetings, they see the pack of fries coming from far. But if we make normal trips with it, we are very popular yes. People are honking to us, put their thumb up … he really provides cheerfulness in the streets. »
