breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

:shock: @ the "Renault 12" which as many folk might already have noticed isn't really a R12 at all! The giveaway is the combination of that style of rear pillar with the much larger rear lamp clusters, a mixture of bits that make it either a pre-1974 R12 or, and given that it's described as a '76 this must be it, a Dacia Denem. Maybe this is the Dacia owners' club (my bad, given the number of members that should have read 'Dacia owner's club' :lol: ...) taking their revenge for my raiding a Denem for a sump shield, the dashboard, the highback front seats, the centre console, the round headlamps, the alloys and several other fancy things to make my (then only 5 years old) R12 Estate look less ugly, cos much as I love a 12 (who doesn't?), they've a hell of an arse on them, especially the saloons. Monster monster junk in the trunk.

Would I be seen in that? Too darned right I wad. Bring it on. (In the dark and with a rug over it please). :thumbs:

:o Rear discs would have been a good plan when I fitted the 17 Gordini motor into mine! That yellow one could do with more photos though.
But ta muchly for the Gordini content there mate. Champion! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

go and get the SD1 then. perfect for a family where the dad needs v8 power. The steering wheel is even on the wrong side so you can drive safely on the wrong side of the road.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
