Rare Renaults? My neighbour has one of these in his small, but perfectly formed, collection. Same colour and LHD.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

Fuego was the first car I ever replaced a cambelt on. Comfy old moto like a lo of French cars were back then. I had a 3.0 V6 Renault 30 which was super comfy with armchair like chairs! Took ages to sell but a lot of that was down to me as I liked driving it, so wouldn't take any bids on it!

Re: In todays light hearted look at the (non-political) news
So, Banksy drops a new artwork on London, whether wanted or not, in the form of a fecking great plinth a d statue.
BBC News - How did Banksy put up a statue in central London?

Now, I bet if I stopped for a piss in central London, several cameras would record it and I'd being having my collar felt before my flies were done up. Yet he can drive a fecking great lorry in, crane a plinth and statue in and nobody bats a fucking eyelid..?

If that doesn't work, Posh up the hi viz to a smart one over a suit, add 3 different coloured lanyard, with an ID card of some sort attached to each. Helps if one of the lanyards is the same colour as security are wearing, so carry some spares in your pocket.Rockburner wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 7:47 pmHi vis vest and a clipboard will get you into most "secure" areas...gremlin wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 7:26 pm So, Banksy drops a new artwork on London, whether wanted or not, in the form of a fecking great plinth a d statue.
