Ratdat Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Bernie went out for a bike ride earlier and shortly after she came rushing back into my workshop earlier to inform me there was a mint R16 parked in someones garden just down the road. Clearly not an event to be missed so I sped down there to check it out and was greeted with the site of this beauty! I'd noticed a Vel Satis appear at this house a little while ago and noted there was also now a Megane in the drive so figuring this must be a Renault nut I knocked on the door. Turns out the guy who runs the Renault Classic Car Club website has moved into my road! He also had a rather tasty R8 Gordini parked in the garage. I was too busy nattering to get any pics but will do when I get a chance. Thoroughly nice chap who happily volunteered to take me for a spin in his R16 despite me being literally covered in filler dust from a full day of rubbing down plod. What a star!
Split_Pin Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Lovely 16! Bet the chap is relieved that the locals appreciate his collection!I would love to have a house like that nearby me!!
Spottedlaurel Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 That looks wonderful!I went for my first bike ride round our village yesterday, sadly I discovered no hidden gems or new neighbours with exciting cars.
Ratdat Posted July 28, 2008 Author Posted July 28, 2008 The colour is like a sort of beige with a hint of green. Pretty nice colour. I'm really wanting a 16 now but i guess I should really get my 15 fettled first!
Mash Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Wow - that is gorgeous I love the 16Ha, I can imagine the chap's face when you turned up after literally crawling out from under a car, knocking on the door like a grubby little urchin. Bet you ran all the way too! "show us yer car mister"

Bet you ran all the way too! "show us yer car mister" Would have taken too long so I pedalled round on my push bike
Mr Lobster Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Excellent! I've been surprised how many car enthusiasts are secretly lurking in my street too - Mk2 RS2000 just up the road and two seperate houses with Triumph TR4s as well.
Ratdat Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 The fella down the road popped round in his R8 Gordini this morning so I snapped some pics.
michiel Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 While I've never had an erection or orgasm from seeing a picture of a car (what would my colleagues think of me?), I can confirm that my heart rate went up considerably. That is très belle.
