Hello from Portugal

[Potty]

Hello everyone
Having had quite a few classics over the years I have now decided to join the "quatrelle" family.
The reason for this being a move to Portugal and a desire to join the rural community. There are plenty of 4's here and spares are plentiful and every mechanic knows how to work on them.
It is such a fun car to drive, especially on the mountain roads!
I hope you like the pics.

Hi there! Don't tell me these pixes are taken right now! at minus 23C.here today I don't need to be reminded that someone somewhere
has such nice weather to putter around in.-Makes my own misery even more unbearable.. -Reid.

Hi Reid old chum, from dear old Portugal. Today we have had a beautiful sunny day (sorry) - during the midst of our rainy season here; which has been very late this year. Those 'lakes' (Rio Zezere) behind me in the pic are way below their usual level; some 10m actually.
Anyway, i used the clement weather to do some paint touch up work on the Quatrelle today, before preparing to return to the Uk for work soon; yes indeedee! So carry on puttering old chap while we may.
Ciao for now
Jobbie.
P.s
Potty alert: I often go to Ferreira do Zêzere for the Monday market to get some fish & veggies, so if you're not otherwise engaged on a Monday, we could zoom (or putter) up and chat?

Those pics were taken Dornes around Christmas, as for the weather ah well, it's nice today but we did just suffer 9 solid days of constant rain!
A meet up sounds a grand idea Jobbie, I'll find a monday free and get in touch.

Big Sigh! It's all looking so beautiful from a desk in Norfolk uk when I'm meant to be working! Sunshine , amazing scenery and a little R4 To whizz up and down those windy cobbled streets. Reminds me of a holiday in Liguria Italy. I can hear the patter of rubber on hot cobbles, a willing engine and the clunk of a gear change.

Welcome to the forum from is frozen Herberts stuck inside a garage with a lot of pieces pre tending to be a Renault 4

I left Norfolk to come to Portugal!.....a bit further down the A47 in Blofield. I see more R4's here in one day than I ever did in 9 years of living there.

Ha ha! Well you seem to have chosen a lovely spot. My mate saw a red one in Dereham just after Christmas. And I spotted a blue one in Southwold recently....but very few and far between
