DavidCore89 7,402 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That Alpine A442 looks beautiful. There are a lot of pics online of the #2 Alpine at various racetracks, is it genuine or a replica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The one at Retromobile was genuine, straight from the Renault museum. Don't know about the racetrack pics but I don't believe there are many replicas of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Nice! That Renault-Elf #2 actually won Le Mans in 1978, Driven by Jean-Pierre Jaussaud and Didier Pironi. Edited February 25, 2016 by DavidCore89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes ! I love proto from the 70s/80s & 90s. Well, I love protos in general but the ones from these decades are just amazing. They just look so good, the liveries are awesome and the noises are perfection. There's a tiny chance I may go to Le Mans Classic this year with a VIP accreditation. Would be a dream if it happens ! You go to auto events DC ? There are some cool ones in the UK ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Only a few classic car shows come to Wales, England gets all the good stuff My hometown hosts quite a large classic event in May, around 500+ cars, I usually go there.

Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) England isn't that far Silverstone and Goodwood should be in decent driving distance no ? Would love to go to Goodwood. It's on my bucket list. Edited February 25, 2016 by Fido_le_muet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) It's driveable for both, but it wouldn't be worth it for one day as it'd take 3 hours to Goodwood and maybe 4 to Silverstone. Goodwood Festival of Speed is somewhere I'd love to go, it's pretty cheap, around £150 for the full 4 days including the hill climb.

Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 If my Le Mans Classic plans fail, I'll see about getting to Goodwood. Doubt it will happen this year but I'm seriously considering it in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although i would pick a VW over many others, including Volvo and the other non-German european cars.) I picked a GTE. http://m.whatcar.com/car-news/volkswagen/passat-estate/2015-volkswagen-passat-estate-gte-review/1356742 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Damn, GTE doesn't mean it's fast? I'd be wary of VW's claims that it'll do 30 miles on battery power alone, their claims have a habit of being incorrect Electric cars are cool, but very few work in every day life, unless they use the engine to constantly charge the battery, the range is simply not enough to convince most people. Then there's the lack of charging points, at least in Wales, London alone has more. The manufacturing and transportation of electric motors before they're even driven probably reduces any tree's that may have been saved Personally I would have got the diesel VW Passat GT 150, but the GTE is nice and will no doubt be rare. The price is a little outrageous though, especially when you consider the BMW 5 Series Touring starts at £33K.
