Very cool!
Sort of restores my faith in mankind a little bit, the world needs this kind of craziness.

In the US French cars have a bad reputation for reliability going back to the Dauphin, but elsewhere they seem to just keep running no matter what. This is a picture of the good side, but it’s still going down the road! I’m sure that it helps that they don’t seem to salt the roads up here….

The technical fun with the R4, R5 and several other Renaults from that period is that they have torsion bar rear suspension and the bars are as long as the width of the vehicle meaning that one bar is placed in front of the other, hence wheelbase on one side of the car is different than the other side..

I never see these in good condition unlike the Renault 12 which appears to be collectible here.

Not a car or bike, but I saw this in a shopping mall today:
The Buttman sexshop two doors down from the Levi’s store. And an old Ford T-bird,

Coming back from our morning coffee I found this just parked on the sidewalk around the corner from our AirB&B:
Is it an ES2? It has lugs/brackets for a sidecar on the right side, if you look closely. It’s also not leaking oil or else it’s empty! It was cold to the touch so it had been parked there for a while.

A note to say that I posted the yellow truck from the cafe before I saw the old Norton. I’ll repost the truck tomorrow.

Yes, that's an ES2. Statutory drip from the primary chaincase. Looks like a professional quality restoration.

Here is the truck from yesterday that was bumped by the Norton, Ford or Dodge?

I saw the “100” badge and it made me think F-100 like an old Ford. Thanks!

Initially I thought it took some design queues from an early land rover from the front, but of course land rover doesn’t have a flat front.

Resembles a '60s American Dodge
Fargo truck's were rebadged Dodges by the 60's. Same with the van. All the Dodge A100's were badged as Fargo in Canada. I had a 1964 A100 Fargo van. It had a fluid coupling instead of a torque converter so it was very slow to accelerate but you could tow start it if you needed.
