Rented the thing at the airport. Very softly sprung car. Quiet engine -- particularly when it died in traffic the following morning, had it towed back to the agency and got a VW. That's it, nothing more to contribute. Have avoided frog cars since. Paul H. > Only Renault experience was in Athens, Greece in spring of 1972. Rented > the thing at the airport.

And fortunately, too I never had the problems you experienced - but, that's often the saga of any rental car. Several years ago I was in a modified Lotus running through Switzerland about dusk. The speedo was on about 130 mph, when behind me, coming up fast, was something in the distance. I kicked the Lotus up to around 145 and the approaching vehicle came on up, then pulled along side, then went on - a Renault Turbo Diesel. Renault makes world class trucks too....

Renault is best known in the US for the 32 hp 3 spd Dauphine imported in the late 50s -- or should I say best forgotton. >> Apologies - I appear to have made a cock-up somewhere! >> [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > or > should I say best forgotton. Being 63 years old I well remember the Dauphine and the Caravelle... they were not designed for our type of driving, nor was there a proper mechanical nor parts chain in place - which has been the death of many imported cars in the United States.

There was the Renault LeCar racing series, similar to the VW-Bilstein Cup for the VW Rabbits. After that from around 1984 to 1992, the SCCA spec series Sports Renault which evolved into Spec Racer when Renault withdrew sponsorship. After 1992, they were Ford powered and contrary to what you think, going Ford powered was not all sweet and wonderful. There are many Renault vehicles in Europe that will flat give you a run. I don't agree with the country's politics, and some cars are garbage, but can you tell me you love everything Chevrolet? >> Post on the Nissan site since Renault owns the company.

Speaking of French politics, everyone castigates the French for not going to play in the sand with us in Iraq, but how many of those same people know that France was one of the first countries to send troops to Afghanistan to help us find the 9/11 terrorists? |
