the camping car, by Renault, 1971 it has to be the inspiration for Inspector Gadgets car



This is by far the most gadgety but cute car I've seen... the reverse light is an extendable magnetic attached light for helping you while changing a tire, or showering.. which is aided by the full 360 shower curtain. I was happily surprised by the suspenders as should seat belts, and the extension car body to add a foot to the cargo area for laying down.

Watching this will cause you to wonder why the magnetic light was never added as standard equipment on cars, and wonder why you haven't seen this clip before

the new pope bought a 1984 Renault... and the jokes about a pope and an old low quality car are numerous!


Leave it to the slapstick brothers, Tom and Ray, at Car Talk to have a field day with the news of Pope Francis’ recent present: a lovingly used 30 hp 1984 Renault 4.

As soon as the now-retired radio hosts heard the news, they went on Facebook and Twitter and let the witticisms and quips rip.

 The Pope buys a 1984 Renault… Now there’s a man who believes in the power of prayer.

The pope can easily handle a flooded engine. Even if it’s of Biblical proportions.

He needs one of two bumper stickers. #1, God is my co-pilot. OR #2, My other car is the Pope Mobile.

 It’s either burning oil, or you’ve just been replaced. “A little black smoke is fine, just watch out for the white smoke”.

If you see a lot of white smoke, it might mean it’s time to elect a new car. The black smoke means that a new car must still be chosen.

“Well, sir, it keeps overheating because the water in the radiator keeps turning to wine…”

Renault Gordini in the parking area at the Eurofest 2013 at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium

I stumbled onto a site that searches out wrecked and abandoned cars on the island of Corsica


above Renault was found in the below old barn




above is holding up the wall



Lots of trucks were brought in during WW2 and they never left




above used to plug the gap in the wall... once it wasn't useful as transportation it was still useful as a wall

1923-1925 | Renault 10CV Type MH 6x6 Sahara




found on http://t-s-k-b.tumblr.com

Renault launched the six MH-type wheels in the early nineteen twenties, to cross the Sahara and facilitate communication between Algeria and French West Africa.

It paved the way for large African adventures with several expeditions between 1923 and 1925. Between Algeria and French West Africa, the Sahara was a barrier that the railway had not crossed.

Citroën launched its autochenilles in 1922 and the following year, Renault developed its six wheels. In fact, 12 wheels as they are matched in order to better "focus" on the sand.

 With their two rear drive axles, these cars combine good climbing ability and ease of use. End of December 1923 the first successful mission by rallying Touggourt Tozeur in two days. In the aftermath, the shipping Gradis-Estienne made in January 1924 joining Algeria-Niger. But the longest yet to come: November 15, 1924, Mr. and Mrs. Delingette, accompanied by Mr. Bonnaure mechanic, engage in crossing Africa, Colomb-Bechar in Cape Town! They do this on July 3, 1925, during the journey having passed the Citroën Central mission. An extraordinary adventure: 23,000 miles during which they have crossed 35 rivers by canoe and 129 bridges constructed or adapted

The boys were raised by their dad, and somehow got hooked on being exploited for cash prizes, ala the cross country ride, drive, or whatever - craze that newspapers were using to sell papers... beginning at age 5 and 9. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0966216601/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=giftbasketsfr03-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0966216601&adid=1DDBRAT23E67XAH6S6N3&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanishedamericana.com%2Fkids%2Fmore-information-on-the-abernathy-kids%2F
