mercrocker Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I got so excited seeing these spots at work that the spods came up to see if I had bypassed the porn filter.... Top spottages and evidence that you may seem to be inhabiting a parallel universe. Although I note many are in Brighton which probably explains that. More please!

HillmanImp Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 My dubious mathematic skills suggest that you photographed 1.11% of all Renault 4's left un the UK (according to HML) in those posts. *EDIT* I just noticed that one of them is on a French plate so its actually just 0.74% so not all that impressive really.

barrett Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I just checked, I've snapped a further five UK R4s previously, what does that do to my average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Lovin' it, proper old fashioned spotting thread with nothing less than 20 years old. There is a very strong whiff of interest, at least from me, so please carry on. This thing was ridiculously cool. It's a late car that's been converted to early chrome bumpers and looks all the better for it. Parked up in central Brighton and attracting a lot of attention1985 Citroen CX Prestige Turbo by barrogance, on Flickr On a B-plate, this might just be a late chrome bumper one - the plastic bumpers an' ting arrived on a C-plate if I remember rightly.

HillmanImp Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I just checked, I've snapped a further five UK R4s previously, what does that do to my average? I would say that pushes it up to a rather fabulous 2.6%. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboocarman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yes, plenty of great stuff parked up around the side streets here in Brighton, including my v early super basic PG 106 in the area. I think you captured both of my previous Dyanes ('67 and '70) in earlier spots; please keep the Sussex Shite spot pics up, thanks.

garycox Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 What's happened to the Cherry?!! It has disappeared, maybe she didn't like it and weighed it in. We may have to kill her if so. We were in a Berkeley/Volvo 740 convoy when the weird 2CV was spotted. Bamboocarman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
