Thread: Reflections of 'the other' R car...

    Reflections of 'the other' R car...

    I just found those pics from a last years' trip through the Italian alps. My buddy Oli (84 Carrera) is pushing me to take the '73 this year - instead of the yellow 'rubber boat'...
    But isn't that approvable as 'the other' R(enaultSport) fun car???
    By the way - the direct ancestor of the RenaultSport Spider was the also Dieppe (France) built Alpine 110, early 911 rallye cars well known...
    Check out the Spider reflection in the 911 bodyside...

    I wonder what the guys in the US will make of the Renault. I don't think Renaults are sold there.

    I bet it was fun in the Alps

    At least the awesome Lotus Elise...

    ...will finally make it over there!
    I saw quite some gray market (Lotus) cars on the road in California, but not a lot of people saw or knew about the modern 'Alpine'.
    I heard about a cup replica in Detroit...WOW! This guy really must like it!!
    I was told to ship it over so often, ...everybody wanted to see it in real! But I am glad I got 'back to the roots' - and instead...found my early 911 in SOCAL. NO regrets!
    I always wanted a 911, but especially the early cars are so rare and expensive over here...
    Restoration projects are throughout scary, well - what am I telling you in the U.K. ... ; )))
    I wouldn't want to consider selling either of these cars, they are both driving in a really pure and 'maximum fun' way! While the 911 is a lot of work through tight corners (and that is all right like that...) the Renault almost feels easy like a computergame, but you want to watch its rear end... the Spider mid engine swing is a lot nastier than any other car, I have driven. Not only because of that - the 1473 (?) built cars get less and less...
    Since I got the Porsche (especially equipped with a factory sport muffler), I just start to think about an exhaust system, the lacking sound blows...
