I can feel a quote coming on - you were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off! Youtube Video

There's a new film out next month. It stars Dany Boon from Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis. It is called Rien de Déclarer and is set in 1993 when the border customs posts were abolished. The redundant Belgium customs man and his French opposite number are long term enemies but they decide to patrol...

I'm wondering if they do call grey 'silver' now. It seems to be in with the ordinary colours, not with copper etc so it might well be. I had a look at what's on the paint shelf but can't help you as I have 'brilliant gris nuage' bought in France.

We've had a bit of snow here in sunny Burgundy and we've put our Megane away in the garage. If the going gets tough our R4 van gets going...

I was ordering the 4L magazine this morning and in October's issue there is a bit of information about Thenay 2011. Also lots of pictures of Lohéac 2010. There is a site here where you can flick through the pages (click feuilleter cette revue). It seems easy enough to order from...

We're taking a tent and camping. Hopefully there will be a campsite there. Does anyone know?

I think Captain Van Rouge and I will be coming. We'll meet you there as we are coming up from sunny Burgundy. :cool:

Hello HUMYUM, :hug: Blanche is indeed still for sale. Nobody has yet managed to get as far as deepest Burgundy to have a look at her! I'd be delighted to see you. PM me.

If your beloved R4 came on the market newly welded and newly MoT'd and presumably good for another few years and the price was £1,000 would you buy it?

speedos Ron, hello again! :hug: I might be wrong but Blanche was registered in Scotland for a year or two and she has never had a mph speedo. I don't think you would have needed to change it.

I know this has been discussed before but I can't find it. Blanche has done 160,000km or 100,000 miles. I always thought that this isn't much for an R4 engine. Wht do you think?

Hi Ron, The French equivalent to the MOT is the contrôle technique (CT) but it needs doing only once every two years. Blanche had hers done in July. She needed 2 new tyres, new exhaust and new brake pads and she's fine. She is a 1990 TL. She's done roughly 160,000km (100,000m).

I think you've hit the nail on the head snes! Perhaps I haven't been trying too hard as I don't really want Blanche to go. But I feel she isn't getting the attention she deserves and I'd be more than happy to let her go to someone who appreciates her.

Blanche is still for sale I still have Blanche for sale as my potential buyers have dropped out without coming to see her. Yes, it is a long way to Burgundy but we have accommodation if anyone wants to stay for a break. Blanche is in tip top condition as she recently had her contrôle...

Yes, it's we two that do all the felling, cutting, stacking and transporting home. That tractor in the background is one of our neighbours collecting his wood. At home we cut it into a third of a metre lengths and split it all. Then we stack it to dry for another year. We are so proud of our...

Who needs a tractor when you've got a Renault 4?

Hello Commander Stanbury, I still have Blanche but there are two potential buyers in the pipeline at the moment. Thank you for thinking about us. We are returning to the UK in October but only to Scotland and not by R4! Can I give you a shout if I still have her after another month or two...

So did I but TBH I can't remember what it was like. But now it seems a bit wishy washy. Can't we have the colours a bit brighter?

We just used grey Hammerite (gris nuage) and it looks quite smart. For the grey wheels too!

Snoopy1974, where are you in Haute Saône?
