Ok guys, I'm sure something can be worked out to bring a group of us together next year, so, keep an eye on the events section, and speak up if you have any suggestions.

Grazie Leonardo, I'm sure I would be, because I know how you good people like to party.

Bonjourno Giulietto, it's nice to see your Dad got the car fixed up for you, enjoy. Yes I'm hoping to make it to Italy next year. I feel a road-trip coming on, and having been to Siena a few years ago, I feel a return trip is required, but by R4 this time :laughing:

I'm already thinking about next year and road trips. Who's up for it?

Ah, another 4 coming to Cornwall maybe. Guess we all need to get together sometime, and with Derek Flavell of Renospeed down this way now, why dont we have a Devon and Cornwall meet up, say in the spring. Anyone interested?

Wish I could have been there. Next year maybe.....:drunk: I think the silver/white one Giulietto?

Hi guys, the RHD 4s were actually assembled in Wexford in Eire between 1978 and 1986. Both GTLs and TLs as far as I know.

Hi there guys, I was planning to do a brake overhaul this winter, new shoes, handbrake cables, and maybe cylinders too, so this info is very useful. Thank you to politeperson for bringing it up, and Andy for his usual very helpful response. Regards Brian.

I got home on Monday at tea-time, after a 6 1/2 hour journey from Brockenhurst. Just sheer volume of traffic, but never mind, it was well worth it, to attend this great event. Not a bad turn out of 4s, 20 in all, and some cracking examples too, plus many other beautiful French motors. Looking...

I'm driving up from Cornwall on Saturday and camping nearby. Catch up with you guys on Sunday :)

Piet, that has now jogged my memory. It's a few years ago I acquired the F4 anti-roll bar, and it was on a wreck in a barn in deepest darkest France, and looking back it did look like a retro fitted item. I managed to modify the seating washers and fit it to the cast trailing arms on my previous...

That is strange Azazello, the F4 anti-roll bar I've used came off a van with the pressed-steel suspension arms, and with a bit of modification to the fitting clamps, it bolted to my cars cast arms using the tapped holes already there. I'm surprised your suspension arms aren't threaded.

It works well in all conditions, not that it didn't before. It's just that I wanted it to corner a bit flatter, which it does with these mods. Azazello, I would attempt to strip down this F6 axle you have, and use the torsion bars, which I believe are a bigger diameter, and also use the a-r bar.

Hi, I've got a Mk1 R5 Gordini anti-roll bar on my 4 GTL, yes it is 16mm dia. It made a big difference, but with an F4 rear one, 10mm dia, also fitted, it really transforms the car. Maybe not quite the soft ride usually associated with the 4, but cornering at speed doesn't feel like the door...

Can't argue with that mon ami.

Come on Lobster, it's not as far as Thenay, and you've done that a few times :whistle:

Just a reminder guys n gals of Simply French at Beaulieu on Sept 12th. You need to book your ticket for the event, it's £13, which also gives you access to all the attractions including the National Motor Museum. There is no camping on site, but there are plenty of campsites nearby. There will...

Here are a few pics of the 4s that turned up, just 15 I think, bit short of the number hoped for, but that was a touch ambitious. The venue was great, a real step back in time, and the weather was kind. It was nice to catch up with old friends, and meet some new faces. There were other Renaults...

Thanks for that Stuart. I'm booked in at Waggoners Campsite for Saturday night, with a friend, a fellow R4 owner. It's just up the road, 15 mins from the venue, so after our fried breakfast, and packing our gear, we should be there before the hoards arrive.

It is indeed Eccles60, but not worry, there's bound to be other events held on the continent to whet your appetite, and hopefully in 2022 we in the UK will be able to venture over there without worries about Covid.
