Hey. Nice page. I have never found an R4 page with so many pics before. Well done. The last years I have been saving money, which is not very easy being a student! And in a few months I will buy my first car: of course a Renault 4! Keep it going!
#102: Brian Wilson, age 55, New Zealand, 24/12/01, brianwilson*infogen.net.nz
A great site but how come NZ is not even on your map? I know R4's were never imported here but some of us who have travelled overseas have had the pleasure of owning one and would like another
webmaster comments: hmm, it's not on the world map admittedly but you will find it on the map of Pacific & New Zealand, so don't worry your dot will appear! I got the maps from elsewhere and there wasn't a good one of New Zealand available I'm afraid.

Happy Quatrelle Crimbo to one and all (for those who observe the festival obviously) Just received my R4 goodies from the Gift Shop - fantastic !!!! Just hope the rest of my family (intended recipients) are equally impressed... "only a mug would have one of these"
webmaster comments: no smug comments from me this time, your recommendation says it all, he said smugly.

Hello!! I'm Júlio from Lisbon. Once, i was a gelous owner of a beautiful R4 GTL. Unfortunately i had to sell it. But now i am looking for another one, with the precious help of Fernando Palma and João Seabra. Great site. Congratulations for the Arnhem Report. Best Regards, Júlio

Hey!!! Coolest site :) I'm proud R4 TL special (february 1980) owner, and I really love my car. It was purchased by my father, then engine destroyed by my mother (she managed to burn two cylinders), restaurated, and three days ago hurt by me. I hit new Mercedes C sportcoupe from the back (hey it was raining, his one tire is as wide as all 4 of mine together, and i do not have ABS =]). My 'little green dragon' is pretty ok, but wires are all burnt. there was short circuit at right headlight (stupid Mercedes =], so strong rear bumper).... Well, I'm a guest to this site! Ain't I ? So why shouldn't I? :) Greetz to all QUATTRO lovers and owners. IT'S IMMORTAL !!!
webmaster comments: I'm glad that of all the cars you could have chosen to smash into it was a Mercedes - keep it up!

Hey! very cool site. the only one i´ve seen cares so much about the greatest car ever..

Hi. I was noticed by the dutch R4 club on a story about the 40 years Renault 4 Event in Arnhem, Holland and guess what... I found my own Renault 4 with a little story (http://www.renault4.plus.com/articles/40years/402/40part9.htm). I will explain some more: The engine and gearbox are from a Renault 5 Alpine Turbo. All petrol stuff is removed / deleted and an LPG injection system is controlling the (high) fuel needs of the car. Also a big intercooler is mounted and it has a little high turbo pressure. So, it is going fast! More info at: http://folkert.fullspeed.to/r4at/r4at.html Greetings from Holland, Folkert.
#95: nick glenn, age 44, Canada, 25/10/01, pookack*aol.com
hi luv the web site! I recently got an 85 r4 in good shape and plan to fix it up. I'm not aware of any r4's officially imported into Canada (mine was built in Spain and imported by the previous owner). I need technical info.. a workshop manual in english or french.. also where to find spares? I'd be glad to hear from anyone who can help...

#93: Pedro Lobo, age 23, Portugal, 17/10/01, pedroarrochella*hotmail.com
Hello! Great site!!! The best I´ve seen on the www!!! It´s always full of new stuff!!! Hope it goes for ever like my 1989 R4 GTL "Rodinhas"!! By the way, I would like to put the r5 gtl carb on my 1989 r4 gtl because after looking at both engines (same 1108), I don´t find any difference except for the carb to justify the difference in horsepower (r5 49cv/r4 34cv). My question is if it will fit or it will also need the r5 manifold? Anyone have any sugestions about how I can get extra hp without too much mess? Thanks Pedro Lobo

Congrats Pete G on your 40th anniversary trip and also for getting the shop off the ground at last!!!! Now I have all my family's Xmas presents sorted! (little do they know just yet). Have you any details of these nutters doing the World Rally Challenge in an R4GTL (on as we speak??) Regards Bruce.
webmaster comments: I think you keep moving purely so you can put more dots on my world map, there's some kind of secret plan whereby in a few years somebody will link up all the dots and have the key to world domination - or maybe I'm just paranoid. Anyway, regarding the nutters in the rally, yes I've been in touch with them and hope to add some bits to the site about their trek at a later date.

Muy buena página. Tuve un R4 del 85 y ahora tengo una R4F6 también del 85. Estoy interesado en los amigos cercanos (Ignacio de Madrid, Pablo de Gijón, Patxi de Palma, y los lusos Pedro Lobo, Tiago Fortuna, Fernando Palma y Joáo Seabra). Felicidades por la página otra vez y haber si los españoles y portugeses nos animamos a reunirnos con nuestras máquinas. Un abrazo a todos.

#86: chas, UK, 24/8/01, restoredclassic*aol.com
Hi. I hope that this information is useful to all fellow Classic Car enthusiasts. Perhaps you would like to publish it in your next newsletter. Take a look at http://www.restoredclassic.cjb.net which is a website which lists Classic Car Restoration Courses at local Further Education Colleges in the UK. The courses are either Full Time (2/3 days per week) or Part Time (evenings and/or weekends) where students will be able to learn about welding (MIG, TIG, Oxy-Acetylene and Spot), chassis/body repairs, sheet metal fabrication, spray painting and lots more. Well worth a visit? Why not tell your colleagues about it?
#85: Stef Denecker, age 41, Belgium, 12/8/01
Marvellous site! Very nice and pleasant. I was driving a white R4 with closed rearback windows. Still remember those wonderful days. The R4 is really the most useful car ever made! It was a pleasure to drive it and I have still nice memories about it. Maybe it could become a second car for the family now...
#84: james halfpenny, age 30, UK, 8/8/01, jane*hutchman.fsworld.co.uk
great, lots of fun with the site and my new 4gtl
#83: H.de Heer, age 50, Holland, 4/8/01, heerhd*hamelandgroep.nl
Great to see so many people loving the R4. I own 3 R4's; a 1977 TL, a 1982 GTL and a 1983 GTL. Reactions very welcome!
webmaster comments: sometimes 2 just ain't enough!
#82: Priska, Switzerland, 11/7/01
I have an 1983 R4 GTL and I love it. I just discovered that the first R4 was produced on August 3rd. Last year my daughter was born on August 3rd. what a coincidence.
#81: Ginny Shapter, age 40, UK, 10/7/01, ginny*smileyteeth.co.uk
Just bought a red R4 GTL through a contact on this site.......a bit nervous and my husband is very sceptical but I'm in need of a nostalgia trip! Probably needing help and advice from the more seasoned owners in the near future!
#80: andrew mcgraa, age 31, UK, 30/6/01, andrew.mcgraa*btinternet.com
just bought a 1973 R4 from Minehead, 12 mths MOT, absolute bargain £250.00, the one with chrome grille, needs new wings as they usually do, my winter project, see my R4 GTL restoration pics in the tech menu...I got 3 R4s now, still need a van. if anyone's got any pics of early 4s I would be most grateful if you could send them...thanks
#79: fabienne warin, age 32, France, 27/6/01
Am I really the first French person to add their name to this list? My Dad (in Amiens) owns a R4 which he has had since new and my sister and I regularly use it. Great for whizzing along the lanes of Picardy
#78: Rob West, age 31, UK, 23/6/01, bobcatwest*hotmail.com
Fantastic site! I thought I was completely obsessed by Renault 4's until now....I feel normal again! I've just bought a dashing Red 1986 1.1GTL - rusty, smelly, with front wings hanging off....Gorgeous!!!
#77: Patxi Arroita, age 20, Spain, 14/6/01, Patxian*yahoo.es
I like a lot my R4 and all r4 in the world.
#76: Daniel Taylor, age 24, Australia, 31/5/01, danielsydney*hotmail.com
Do you know if any model of the R4 ever came in an auto transmission? I'm looking for a Renault Classic. I own a Renault 19RT.
webmaster comments: Not so far as I'm aware, the manual dash-mounted gears have always been one of the defining characteristics of the cars.
#75: antonio, age 25, Italy, 27/5/01, anlore*ciaoweb.it
la mia fR4nziska ha un problemino con l'acqua che entra dai finestrini. Se qualcuno avesse un'idea per salvarla... (ho scoperto che intorno a Livorno c'è una concentrazione di R4 inverosimile: chi ne cercasse una potrebbe farci un salto)
#74: Pablo, age 24, Spain, 26/5/01, PMALAS*terra.es
I've got a RENAULT 4 myself. I like your page a lot. It's a real fun. Congratulations! Somebody has written this for me. I'm Spanish and my English is awful.
#73: Shaun the non-mechanic, age 36, UK, 12/5/01, shaun.natalie*virgin.net
This bloke reckons that my 1982 GTL needs the 'Tappits' adjusting/fixing to the recommended level. What on earth are tappits and how can I get the info on how they should be adjusted. Thoughts anyone?
#72: Sjoerd Vleugel, age 13, Netherlands, 7/5/01, sjoerdvleugel*hotmail.com
leuke site, vooral het 4tje dat m'n mius volgt! misschien kunt u die op de site plaatsen om te downloaden? 't is maar een ideetje van een renault-madman. ps ik hoop het 4tje van mijn moeder over te kopen (als ik m'n rijbewijs heb gehaald) en te restaureren, misschien ook een idee om daarover wat tips te plaatsen op de site?? Ik hoop snel antwoord te lezen, Sjoerd Vleugel.
#71: Shaun, age 36, UK, 26/4/01, natalie.shaun*virgin.net
I'm so happy! I've just bought a light blue R4 which I always wanted. I'm going to call her Sally, after the world's most gorgeous woman, Sally Webster from Coronation St.

I have a 1989 4 GTL Clan and it's the best car I ever had it just goes and goes it no problems. I´ve had it since new and I would not sell it for any money. This car is like a friend of mine and after 150,000Km and 12 years not once it let me down. I would go to the end of the world with "her"!!!

this is a message to the person who has a problem with the new beetle, do u have a problem because u can't afford it? i think so.
webmaster comments: well this is great isn't it, one year after launching this site devoted to Renault 4's there's a slagging match going on between 2 visitors about the new Beetle. (it's crap anyway)
#66: Jo Fino, UK, 18/4/01, jo_fino*hotmail.com
Hi all, we found the site when the guy who runs it left a note on our windscreen in Tesco's car park. We own a silver C REG R4 GTL. Currently renovating the bodywork and looking for someone to finish it off - anyone interested? We also need new wing mirrors. I think the site is great. Thanks.

I'm so glad that people madder than me are restoring Renault 4's and that there is a growing enthusiasm for these cars - I knew it would happen, I just was never sure when. At last I can sleep at night. Keep up the excellent work everyone. Great web site, thanks. Matt.
#62: Shaun Parker, age 35, UK, 9/4/01, natalie.shaun*virgin.net
At long last!! I've been searching for a dedicated R4 site for ages, now I've found you. I am looking to buy a R4 (after a 15 year break). I'm fed up with the 2.7 diesel, 4x4 'monster' I currently drive, I just want to go back to my favourite all-time best car. OK, it's true it won't rocket down the outside lane of the motorway and it'll probably have holes in the floor but who cares. Anyone know of one for sale in the South West?
#61: Mike Smith, age 25, UK, 26/3/01, Moolarb*aol.com
I have just finished restoring (roadworthy condition) my r4gtl after it stood for nearly 4 years, 3 of these in my ownership. I drove it for the first time last week and my girlfriend already wants to trade in her 2 year old clio!!
#60: Justus, age 23, Netherlands, 17/3/01, renault*rijdt.nl
Hi, this site is great! Compliments! Question: I just bought a 1976 R6L 845cc and I want everything to know about it. Now I keep 'her' 4ever. Technically it is a R4TL, so I like everything of the R4 as well. Does anyone of you got some tips, pics, info or accessories for my Six?

this site keeps getting better and better, good work. If anyone has any pictures of their fours which they can let me have, please email them to me or leave them on my company gallery which will be up and running in the next few days.

#57: Emma Meredith, age 33, UK, 7/3/01, Emmaneilmeredith*aol.com
This site makes me feel normal, cos you're all as mad as me! We're in the minority, which is lucky as we seem to be getting a bit low on affordable R4's.
#56: john armstrong, age 38, UK, 23/2/01, john.armstrong.01*bbc.co.uk
Always happy to hear from R4 fans especially in the UK. I have a 1985 Renault 4 van 6F which I have restored. Have driven it to Norway...Scotland...Denmark...France and Germany.
#55: Daniel Roth, age 39, Switzerland, 18/2/01, droth*suedostschweiz.ch
Hello R4 friends. Very nice website, funny to visit you. I'm a big enthusiast of the R4 since children-days when my parents owned in all three R4's. Since sixteen years I drive my own R4, a bright-grey 1970 R1123 "Export" with 845 cc./27 hp-engine, four-speed gear-box and 6 volt electric equipment. During the long ownership I restored the car completely and built it up on a factory-new platform. Today it's in original-condition, but almost better than new. In reference to the big work and the rarity of the car in Switzerland, I drive my R4 as a classic only for special events, but with big fun. I hope to hear more from R4 friends all over the world.

I have just bought a R4 and have been shocked by its all round competence. I think this could be a long and happy relationship.
#52: Bob Taylor, age 33, UK, 15/2/01, moulinsart*ntlworld.com
Had an R4TL (with the handles at the front!) - cool car, ran it into the ground. The end was a bit messy (rusty flapping wings, piston holed) Nice site! I 'specially like the flashy colours...

Oh man... In the driveway of a house in a road I must have driven down 500 times, I've just spotted a 1968 R4... looks okayish, flat tyres, grotty as hell etc. Must have been there for years. I can't believe I've never seen it before. Some door knocking is in order, I feel...
#49: Tiennie Riekert, age 41, Botswana, 8/2/01, tika*botsnet.bw

Nice to see some sites dedicated to Renault rather than Citroen (they're just as common as muck!). I always loved French cars as a kid, and still do. For my part, I drive a Nissan (owned by Renault, does that count?), but an R4 or R6 *will* be mine, oh yes.

Great site - the patchwork mystery car gave me an idea for the paint job on my R4 - acquired for free, and currently becoming a rear wheel drive 2.0 ford engined R4 - now where's my angle grinder? When I finish this one I'll put some pictures on my website. If I can find a decent one cheaply, I'll keep one as standard (ish)
