That cutout of Alonso popping up suddenly gave me a start!

What was the red ?fastback/saloon? looking thing that was seen briefly around 50 seconds?

Harmless enough I guess, no more mental than plenty on here I'm sure many wives would argue, but Renault...really??

I like a Renault as much as the next man but that takes it a bit too far. I could understand having a Fuego Turbo, Safrane Biturbo, a few RS models and maybe a few others but I can't see the appeal in some of those.

It was interesting that in Dutch they use 'motorblock' for engine block....I had never really thought about that before.

They're a breaker/parts company or the like, surely?

They collect on the side.

Why?

Not taking the piss or having a go, I'm genuinely interested why Peugeot as a brand would inspire such feelings?

Beauty. Almost as nice as a 17.

Although the big question is : where was that pic taken ?

Nerd of the year award to who has the answer.

FM. I genuinely thought the award would remain unclaimed. But no. You won it !

I am 99% sure it's Monthlery too.

I have always wondered whether there was anyone out there who was a total Renault beard... I feel almost nothing either way for Renault personally, total 'meh'-age.

Mind you , didn't see either a 5GTT in the collection, or a 5 Gordini. My dad had a light green renault 5 Gordini in about 1982, it was lovely. They seem to be incredibly rare now.

But too far? Not at all; it's nuts like that that keep motoring heritage alive!
