Clémentine the cat's Renault 4 garage?????? This is just too much of a coincidence! Let me explain....
My first car was a bright yellow Renault 4 (sunflower yellow, according to Renault, although I thought it was closer to canary yellow myself), and it was a stunner: 40,000 miles from new, full service history, NO RUST ANYWHERE :shock: - absolutely gorgeous. Alas it was written off twice: once by a VW Passat (which led to me rebuilding it), and once by an oak tree (after which there wasn't much left to rebuild - bodyshell, chassis, and gearbox all completely destroyed). I also have a very dear friend called........ Clémentine (who happens to love cats), and now that I think about it I also happen to own rather a lot of cats myself. Did I hear you mention MGAs? I've driven two, loved them both, desperately want to own one (a 1500 roadster in Old English white with black interior, if anyone feels like donating one). And did I imagine it, or does Clémentine the cat's e-mail address mysteriously begin with the name Malcolm (yep, you've guessed it - that's me)?
Have I been creating a Renault 4 website in my sleep, have I been cloned, or is it all just a huge coincidence?
Anyway, the website's cool, and it's almost inspired me enough to think about rebuilding my ex-French post office F4 van as I've not driven an R4 for what feels like an eternity (current transport is a selection of ancient flat-twin Citroens: several 2CVs, an Ami estate, and an Acadiane van).
