Ehehe usualy during the weekends we go for a ride to the countryside and we do more than 200kms without touching the roads , here in Portugal is plenty of places to ride motorbikes, ATVs, 4x4. I know in Ingland itīs a little bit difficult to find a place where you can ride your 4x4 because most of places are private, itīs what i ve been told when i went to a meeting near Brighton in Uk. 4x4 itīs great fun, but ridding the r5 itīs even better :)
back to using this for the forseeable future :)

not good after a Ģ1000 service and mot bill the month before.
Its funny, and hard to explain both the 5 and the porsche get a lot of attention but in a different way.

Yeah, not many around, but when they do come up for sale, they are so cheap.
For whatever reason they are pretty worthless to most - so many must have just been crushed.

Not the best picture but never planned to take one :D it is of course my sleeper
Currently stock other than pulling all the crap off the engine not required, full service and some software to make it at least move - 220bhp 4wd tow barge, de spec'd brakes and arb etc make for interesting angles
Based on the Mk4 R32 platform so lots of cheap upgrades and the new tfsi lump fits nice and easy so always the option to go 375bhp for not so much money - got my eye out for the R32 fancy seats which fit straight in
Small enough to not cost the earth to run and big enough for family wagon and towing cars
As per all VAG cars its not a true 4wd and have to drive it in a different way to get the most from it :laugh:
Oh and when I drive nice (about once a week it will do an easy mid 30mpg return) the other 6 days are 20-27 lol

Hi Alan.
Yeah, its a Mk1 renault 5 TL.
Pretty slow, but fun and economical. There are not many around, or for sale. But be patient and buy the best you can. They are very good at hiding blisters under the mountains of sealer - It will look new on one side, and rusted out behind the sealer.
Here is is sat with a few other old Renaults at a Village car show in south-west France.
I am driving it over 600 miles at the weekend :scratch:
