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.

Maybe not original colour, but it looks nice, suits it.

I think it's the same colour as your car Arazello, but photo taken in dim light.

Ok folks, here's the latest news. The Renault Owners Club have arranged for their own event to be held at the Rural Life Centre Tilford, on the original date, 11th July. It's just the one day, not the 10th as well, and unfortunately there is no camping on site. As said before, they are hoping to...

The Citroen Club who are running this event, have moved it to 25th 26th September. The ROC are now deliberating about whether to support it or not. Watch this space.

Ok Matthew, well hopefully we can meet up in the future. There's a few 4s in the area now, so maybe we could have an informal get together sometime, but I'm not sure if people would be up for that or not.

Hi Matthew, welcome to the forum. Sorry I can't help with the parts you need, but I was just wondering what part of Cornwall you're in? Regards Brian

Citroen/Renault gathering, 10th 11th July, Surrey. Quick update on this event. The Citroen and Renault clubs are in discussion regarding re-scheduling this event for a later date, I presume because of ongoing Covid restrictions, but details are a bit sketchy at the moment.

Yes it is a great pity if 4L International is no more, if that is the case, but I suspect as the following for the R4 is so strong on the continent that an alternative event will take place. In actual fact, as we know, other R4 events have taken place in previous years, so I'm sure there will be...
