Hello all,

My names Joe and im from Bristol,

Iv still got the flyer for retro-renault that one of you kindly put on my windscreen at the renault world series! I drive a monaco blue mk2 172 which i use daily. Some of you guys may know me, im a memebr of the renault sports club

The reason iv joined up now is im in the process of buying an older renault (ph2 19 16v) Im buying it off of simon (wicked neo) who i think uses the site.

Due to a 400 mile trip il be picking it up asap after xmas.

The cars got a few dents and scrapes that i will be sorting out and will be using it at a couple of track days during next year, however it wont be 'track car' as such because im looking forward to retuning it to its former glory and having a car to fiddle with

Cheers

Gentle Ben - this guy with the 449 blue 19 bits, do you remember if he had a dent free bonnet and a front bumper in good condition ?
