Crap old Renaults (FAO PeteM)

#1

Been away for a few days in Carcassonne.
Had a bit of a mare getting home (our fault) but I spotted this whilst I was
there.

The place was swimming with Renault 4s, Twingos and Dacias, which I really
don't get.
But I thought a shiny old Renault 30 sitting in a south eastern France leafy
boulevard was your type of thing :-)

Without wishing to sound all twilight zone, I saw this and thought of you...

That is the exact colour combo of my old '82 R20 TS.

The most comfortable seats ever. I liked that car.

Oooooooh, drroooooool. That's a 30TS judging by the wheels. 2664cc of
triple choked madness. Gotta love 'em.

Was it as clean as it looks?

Now get back out there and swear at it before something else breaks."

It was clean, yes.
Fairly clean anyway

But I reckon it might have been a diesel....
Look at the big version of the pic.

Must be something wrong with my screen. I tried blowing the pic up to
death and STILL can't make that out...

I'm glad it's a diesel, that means I no longer want it.
