Renault Shite Acquired

[Torsten2001]

Behold a 12TL, collected today, taxed but no ticket and more holes than a battalion of clog wearing tap dancers socks, rattled and wheezed across London it's only redeeming feature being its grin factor, ace shite!

That is truely disgusting, well done!What will you do with it?

[Torsten2001]

Fcuk knows!

[trigger]

That is awesomely shite!Bet it look great driving through London surrounded by all the new, expensive cars about.

[Torsten2001]

I got some serious thumbs up from what I thought to be Romanians, I showed up an A140 at the lights in Waterloo!

[RedSparrow]

That is awful.I love it!

[AXrescuer]

That truly is awful on so many levels!Well done though for saving it!

[CortinaDave]

That truly is a shitemare... I love it! what a machine.

[Guest]

Monster! Its a wonder that stuff this age and condition survives so long but I'm glad it has!

[Gompo]

Top find, my uncle had one for a while but in that lighter blue - remember having to look small in the back of one so I could get into Flamingo Land for free (under 3's free I reckon)

That is awesomely shite!Bet it look great driving through London surrounded by all the new, expensive cars about.

Other than the 'city' and and bits of central London, London is the home of shite!

[Parky]

Now thats a beauty! We had one for 6 years (1974 TS model in brown) and it was without a doubt the finest car we have ever had. I still love seeing these about. Well done Torsten!Parts should be no problem, just get yourself a cheapo flight to Romania...

[Father Ted]

one word....ORSUMMM.

[nigel bickle]

Go on then.Explain yourself- to a bunch of believers....

As already stated, an excellent purchase, Sir! The engines were always noisy (tappets rattled, even when set right) particularly the 1108cc ones. Huge fan base on the Renault Owners' Club for them so real spares not a big problem. Same engine went into the Daf 55 and 66 cars, too! If that fails, impersonate a Dacia Denem (now that's REAL shite!) Andrew353w

[pogweasel]

WONDERFULLY CRAP.

[VWPowered]

stick some Dacia stickers on for some ultimate win

[Mr_Bo11ox]

what a shitbox, even a romanian peasant farmer would give that a wide berth. Excellent!

[wuvvum]

Did that come from the same source as the estate I had?

[Torsten2001]

Bingo Wuv, I was told it needed a couple of lenses and a brake pipe or two but I am mystified as to how it ever got through an MOT, I have parked it in the bunker and it will be ignored until I find someone to take it on.

[Mr Lobster]

Thats superb, well done on rescuing it! To me, R12s look just right if they are a bit battered and worn so this one is 110% WIN!

[autohausdolby]

ACE! Reminds me of being on holiday in Morocco. TOP SKILLZ.

[michiel]

One week I like them, next week I don't... not many cars do that to me. But well done!

[pompei]

What a horror!

[Pete-M]

Somewhat irritatingly, the Renault 12 is my mothers favourite car of all time.Dad had hundreds of V8 Rovers and pretty much all the top-notch stuff you could buy in the 70s, but every time I take a car to my mums I still get that same comment I've heard every time - "My favourite car was a green Renault 12. It was lovely. Very soft seats. I loved that car".She even said it when I turned up in the Bentley.

[STUNO]

Well here is your chance Pete-m. Take this off Torstens hands and park it at your mothers place, that should cure her of tennitis :lol:EDIT...Should be twelveitis!!!!!

[mouseflakes]

Top notch - naughty Torty!I bought a battered, MOT-less Mk2 12TS for the engine (to go in my R10 - though used an R11 1400 in the end). Every panel was damaged (some of it really quite major). It looked terrible, but it drove better than any other 12 I've had.

[Torsten2001]

I've bunged it on Retro Rides now as a. It'll just sit in the dungeonb. I need the space for something very special...I hope

[j-j]

Awesome. Get that fully road worthy and park it in places most likely to annoy proper people (Well at least until the tax lasts that iz)

[AnthonyG]

So bad it's good!That was what most cars over about 13 years old were like when I was a lad!12s just to go on and on when most other contemporary Renaults rusted out in 7 years or so. I dimly remember a bunch of French rappers who were obssesed with 12's - did a song 'J'aime mon douze' or something - it had a great video. Something to hunt out on YouTube.

You mean "Je danse la mia" by IAM. Directed by Michel Gondry, great use of that "morphing" technique. And the bass line of "Give Me The Night" by George Benson.
