Hi,
Anyone seen this advert? WTF is that car? I thought Imp, but then I rewound the Tivo and saw it definitely wasn't, but it is bright yellow and very retro...
Cheers
Graham
PS 100 posts yay!

R8s are cool. There were some great ones up in Beds the other week at the car show I dragged the Chammy to. There's something about some of the old Renners... "I'm"  |

Saw this ad earlier, thought Simca first but then when I saw the front of the car I went for Renault - looks like I was right! |

Yeah, could be an S. Probably is.
A mate of mine had the R10, the one that looks vaguely lie a shrunken rear-engined Mk4 Zephyr. Remarkably weird car. Loved it. Easy to work on too. Shame it was rusty. I found the wet liner enfgie a little of a PITA when you had the head off it (liners are easy to diusturb andf then the HG won't seal) but other than that 10/10 for coolness.
