Hi, finally gotten around to registering... and sharing my Fast (and slow) Renault Frogs. I currently have a 2005 Meagne Sport 225 in burnt Orange, a 1984 Renault 5 Le Car 2 Turbo (have decalled as a French Alpine) and a couple of (slow) 1959 Renault 4CVs.
Been a Renault nut all my life and had alot of them. Of the quick ones, more recently Clio Sport 172, Alpine GTA V6 (non-tubo)... young kids meant the Megane was the way to go.
Have had the R5 for 21yrs and one of the 4CVs for 24yrs (both ex UK as I am)....... nearing completion of restoration of a local ChCh 4CV... and another in the shed to do!! Told ya I was nuts!!
The photos are when I drove Megane down from Auckland, the R5 just before compliance after some resto work and 4CV with R5 in background as it is now.

Welcome, Nick! Feel free to knock up a project thread (or two) in the Renault section, so that other members can drool over your fine steeds.
It's kinda nice to see so many RS fans creeping out of the woodwork lately!
Nice collection. Your R5 looks almost identical to a 1984 GTL 1100 5-speed I bought from the original owner - imported from UK. Same colour and paint scheme and wheels. Loved that car. Lost count of the number of Renaults I've had now! Just the Alpine GTA and two Super 5's now. Cheers.. P
Welcome. Like the shot of Nins Bin (as well as the cars of course)!
Thought I might give an update..... completed the resto of my "other" 4CV in September '13, all complied and re-registered fine. Used a bit over last summer and been debugging..... including replacing rings as wasn't happy with them. Also getting turbo from the R5 gordini refurbished.... got that back this week so needs to go back on. So hopefully have these all back ready for the road for Spring.
Also last month picked up a 1939 (first registered in NZ in 1941) Renault Celtaquatre..... not fast (not even going yet) but another Renault!!
