How useful is your 4L?

[quatrelle87]

My 4L is enjoying taking us out and about - even with the bikes attached to the back She's even coping in the heat here. We've got a camping trip planned soon, and hope to take the bikes with us again. Loving life with my 4L

Its nice to see a 4L being used as it was meant to be, as a workhorse but part of the family, just how M. Drefus intended. Your car is looking good.

Mine is standing still for now

But before "big job" it was like a working horse, and my pet instead of dog or cat

My everyday car to go to work and back, for pulling trailer to and from oliveyard, full of tools for work, or olives, or fresh made olive oil depending on the part of year, for transportation wine from wine maker/previous owner (my uncle) to my house, and for my joy in driving it.

I can not wait to finish project. I miss my car

Wow, Petak, your car has had a busy life! Mine also pulls a trailer sometimes - but only carries the lawn mower and strimmer up to our vegetable garden - just a couple of minutes up the road
Hope your project is soon finished and you can get back out in your 4L again soon.

Well, I suppose this is one of the best uses for R4 – at the R4 scrap yard/service. This particular model is called R3 and a half because it is shortened for easier handling in a small space. It has literally independent suspension because back side is an axle with 2 wheels that can be detached by just lifting the rear end. Nothing goes to waste – recycling in it's pure and simple form.

How about that?

Hmm...Cannondale. You must be searching for this lightweight bike not to overload your R4 too much

My R4 helped me many times for different jobs in my house...

Mine works bloody hard. I had a land rover engine in the back recently and I asked the guy if the sump was empty he replied yes. Anyway I got home to find oil running out of every opening. Still at least it won't go rusty now

That's a lot of tiles Rich.

My R4 a couple of years ago. It's amazing how much you can fit in the back of one of them. Came in no end of use up and down to Aberdeen for uni...

I love the "contents" as much as its "box"...!

How useful is your 4L?

Well, ours has been getting me to work this week, now that I've got the window clips from petak

The car is essential for getting to work, so I'd say it's very useful.

Since starting this thread (back in July last year), I sold my R4 to fund another purchase (which then led to another purchase - so I now have a 1972 2CV, 1966 Peugeot 204 and 2000 mini cooper). However, one of these may have to go soon and I hope to be able to purchase a 4L F4 soon, and this will have to work pretty hard for me.

I'm on the look out for one with tow hook preferably, and a bonus would be one that comes with a roof rack. Either way, once purchase made and the F4 is doing its job, I'll post a photo ... could be quite a wait though (I'm not the most patient of people, however!).
