Hello blakeyboy. Check out Vagabund in Projects section posted by Harbourseal. All the info about the build is there.

My good friend Harbourseal is taking his newly finished F6 camper on a shakedown trip to the west of England in June. He arrives in the UK on 12th June, and is heading to Cornwall. He's over for a week and I just wondered if any R4 owners down this way, Devon and Cornwall, fancied getting...

Is anyone interested in attending this event organised by the gang at Registro Storico R4? I'm hoping to go on the way to the Italian R4 festival a week later.

Blimey Harry, Easter uni break still on in late May. What an easy life you have:laughing:

Hi Reid, how exciting, a place in le Belle France, great thing to do, and I wish you happy times in your holiday abode, or is it full time? Can I visit please? In the meantime, plenty of time to think about an Italian trip, so yes, let me know if you are keen on a Tuscan adventure, and that of...

Hi Reid, so, how about a road trip to Italy in September, R4 Festival. I went last year, it was brilliant. Care to join me? Regards Brian.

With a prompt from Reid in Norway talking of his wish to go to this event, and apologies from me for not posting this sooner, this event is not happening this year. However the organisers are planning on putting on a R4 International meeting next year, so, watch this space, and here's hoping it...

Hello Reid. Very sorry to have to tell you, but the organisers of this event have had to pull the proverbial plug this year, so it's not going ahead for whatever reason. However they are hoping to put it on next year, so here's hoping, but I'm not holding my breath in anticipation. All the...

Oh yes me ansum, of course :laughing:

Hi, I just bought a pair of rather snazzy drilled and slotted brake discs for the GTL from De Marco Parts, and no problem with customs charges. So I can only assume De Marcos have nipped this in the bud. I'm very pleased with their service and the product.

Wheel bearings shouldn't be a problem Elwood. Remove the old bearings from the hub, large hammer and a punch should do it. You will see a number etched on the bearing. In your area you will probably have a company that supplies bearings and seals to engineering businesses and the like. They...

Well described Petak. I got the o rings and also the oil seals at a local company that supplies bearings and seals to engineering businesses and the like. All they needed were the old ones as a pattern.

I didn't think that for one moment David. It would be great if a group of us stalwarts from the UK can make it there this year. All the best Brian.

Ok Lobster, point taken, but a large gathering of Renault 4s in France is a no brainer isn't it? As for the distance, no problem if you have the time.

If you mean 4L International it's in July.

Well, after a break of four years the great news is that 4L International has returned. It has moved from the venue at Thenay, where all the previous festivals were held, to the Paul Ricard Formula 1 circuit in the South of France, not far from Marseilles.

This is good my R4 friends, we seem to have some interest going on here. It would be nice if we could swell the numbers with cars from outside Italy, and our Italian friends would love it. Ah, Pastis, one of the first things I buy at Super U. A lovely pre-dinner drink on the campsite.

When I did this trip back in May it took me three days to cross France, from Roscoff to Grenoble. The first two on D roads, but the third on toll roads, which was less tiring and enabled me to have a rest day before crossing into Italy. On my fourth day of travelling I arrived at the venue in...

Well done harbourseal, maybe we have the start of a convoy, as I hear from the organisers that three of us from the UK have registered also. This photo was taken at this year's event, with yours truly well in the mix in centre of picture.

Thinking about next year, and Italy is calling. Any of you road-trip fans up for this?
