Future Retro Renaults

Site Subscriber Joined: 07 Oct 2004 Posts: 2281

Just had a thought - the average year of Retro Renault driven by most of us on here is 1990/1991 as far as I can make out.

In 10 years time then, when we're making our 20,000th post on here, what circa-2000 Renault models will be considered "Retro", and which ones will you all be driving?

Obviously in 10 years time the chances of there being many 5's, 19's and 21's still in the forum?

I reckon the clio 172 will be here, and without doubt the megane's.

Choip the terminal off and fit a new one, if you don't have a connector come down and I'll gie you one.

Tis a common problem.

Had to fit another to my energy, my chamade, her megane, sisters 1.4 energy and the list goes on and on.
