Stranded Frenchman Makes a Motorcycle out of a Broken Citroen

Not a solution we would have thought of.

Judging by the looks of this bizarre creation, and the fairly flimsy metal used to make Citroen 2CVs, this might just be possible, but it could also be a load of crap. 

This Frenchman, Emile, was attempting to circumvent a North African military roadblock in his old Citroen when he broke a swing-arm and a chassis girder on a rock. When he discovered that he would not be able to mend the chassis, he instead made a crude motorcycle out of his car, "drilling" by bending metal, hack-sawing the crease, and then flattening it back out. With anything other than a 2CV we'd call immediate BS right here, but it just might work. 

If this is all true, Emile is MacGuyver's patron saint.
