Hi Keiser 31

No problem there is no charge for the lesson.

We have just spent a restful weekend visiting my sister who lives on the coast at Point Lonsdale, returning home to share our oldest son, Paul's 49th birthday this evening with he and his partner Nicole. Very pleasant evening with a "Butterflied" leg of lamb cooked on the BBQ, a bottle of "Fizz" and a very good bottle of 2006 Red and one of Helen's home baked Cheesecakes for desert. Excellent dinner for four. Now there is a lesson in relaxed fine dining Down Under style.

Suddenly having taken a few days off I am finding it extremely difficult to whip up very much enthusiasm for the Renault. Yesterday I spent some time cleaning up some of the dashboard instruments.

Note the speedo shows a total distance covered as 3,909 Kilometres. It does not appear to have ever been opened up or otherwise fiddled with, so how can a car that has so little work be have been in such a poor state.

The "Renault Freres" is all my own work, originally this was a "Blind" to fill the hole where the optional clock could be fitted. It is a little like a "secret draw", that you can find hidden away in an antique bureau, with a small compartment behind the face. I think that I should leave a message in there for the next person to find. Originally there was a decal of the Renault "lozange" (Diamond shaped logo) but it had long gone. The Renault Freres is the badge of the UK based (Prewar) Renault Club. 35 Litres of petrol = 7 Imp Gallons = 9 US Gallons.
