Renault 6TL "Crapaud"

I wouldn't be surprised if it were its first trip out of Wales EVER.  Yes, we will be using the Xantia for the mission and a 14' trailer which is the smallest I could hire.  Going to be a loooooong day with a good eight hours driving in it at least but at least I should be able to split that with Mike.

 

We don't have the technology to offer live updates, you'll have to make do with roving reporters and post-humus updates instead.

 

I'm both excited and anxious about this particular mission.  The Renault has even less of a place in my fleet than when I bought it, but I shall at least make the effort to get it MoT'd.

If I get it back and it's totally fucked not to my taste, sure thing!  Probably.  They do seem to be worth daft cash now, not sure how that happened, this could be the only vehicle I purchase that's worth more in time to come rather than less.

 

Having said that, the only thing cheaper than this Renault is Shitpeas' Lanos.

I used to have one. It was hand paintedbin a pale shade of dulux blue. The clytch had been replaced by a Renault "specialist" and the brake pipe that went across rhe front cross member had been lengthened so it didn't have to be removed for future clutch replacement. I loved it and it didnt ever let me down. I swapped it for a Mini. The guy who took it on used it for a 60 mile commute until the rear suspension parted company with the body shell due to corrosion. The drivers side rear passenger door had to be held shut with a self tapping screw. OAH441P, where are you niw?

Are you Arther Bestrom?

I hope there will be an opportunity to recreate this image, it would be remiss not to.

 

I thought this was a proper image from today, I got confuzzled despite the title of the thread. Can I have my 'like' back as I think I might have double 'liked' by accident if this is an old photo. How does this work? If I post something I posted in the past and you liked, do you like it again to make us even?

 

The modern world confuses me. In situation like this in the old days I used to just tie an onion to my belt, which was the fashion at the time.

 

Maybe I just won't like a photo when you actually collect it. Will that be okay?
