วีดีโอ

congrats on your success. our values tend to get skewed online and on social media, as we constantly compare ourselves to other people. but 16k people tuning in to a video is not nothing, and with your likeability and gift of gab, I'm pretty sure you could really make a go of this. sorry for the rant, here's my channel name suggestion: Runs & Drives

You take good care och your 16. We R16 owners thank you for that.

i daily a 85' Ford, i love it but id rather take the rust as it comes than to toothbrush it everyday :-)

the column change looks very slick

Great cars!

Mi sono iscritto al canale, se passi dal mio forse trovi cose di tuo interesse, grazie e ciao Fabrizio like 166

Do make sure you wash out the extensions that carry the rear torsion bar outer bearings - it's a real mud and rust trap.

I always missed an R16 as a background vehicle in the Endeavour series, it perfectly matches the sixties and let's face it the 16 was a revolutionary concept.

I have been a fan of the R16 since I was a kid. I would LOVE to have one, but can never find any for sale 😢

Never sell a hydraulic Citroen. You will always regret it. 😅

I like your Renault 16. It looks good after a wash and clean. Very nice car indeed.

Congrats on the milestone 👍 RetroNET or NETClassics?

Great seeing old Renault's getting some love on here, loads of classic Citroens but so few Renault, Peugeot, Simca etc

What do you do for modern day fuel being so high octain? Give her fill up on me. And yes that car Is a her!

On my younger 2002 BMW I’m power washing the under side and then spraying Bill Hamber Atomic which is supposed to neutralise the salt… we will see if that works!

A satisfying repair as it must be a nightmare without a fuel gauge! Can't wait for the next video!

I really love the sound of the Estafette! Super!!

It looks gorgeous! Great find 👍

My Dad had a 69 R16 as did a friend. Dad's stuck on FULL and had to be replaced, my friend's float developed a leak and sank. He made a new float from part of a turkey baster which lasted for years until the car was rear ended and totaled. I had a 71 and never had an issue with the fuel gauge. Maybe they changed something or I just lucked out.

OK, I told you not to sell, hey ho. That BX can be replaced, but for heavens sake don't sell the ZX16V, the chances of finding another one are vanishing small.

The new van is mint but what are you doing with these cars 😂

I've exclusively followed your R16 videos thus far, but incidentally I've got a BX as well at the moment. I honestly don't care for post-70's cars though, it has to be said, and its sole purpose for me is to get me around during winter (mid-to-south Swedish winter roads are always dirty, slushy and most importanty salted, so it's customary to get yourself a dedicated winter car if you're driving around in classics otherwise), but it's coping well with the winter I have to say, and the ride comfort is obviously beyond compare. Can't wait for springtime to arrive and the salt to disappear though so I can get the R16 and the ID19 back on the road again. Then I'll most likely get rid of the BX, hopefully it won't have gathered too much additional rot by then.

You could call it ''Classic French Fun''🤣

Can you cancel the BX sale? Seriously, that one was too good. I think most car guys need one hydropneumatic Citroen in their life.

I'm in the US and when I was six my Dad bought a 1960 Estafette. For the US it was labeled "Petit Panel" as it was a panel van. This was the first year for them here. I remember it had a recall for something in the front wheel area. I don't know if it was drive shafts or a suspension part. It had an 1100 CC engine and was slow as molasses but it always started and he used that poor thing to death. He built a patio behind our house with concrete and hauled all the sand in it, many loads. The sand yard put too much in it one time and it hauled it home, but our house was on a small hill and with the extra sand it couldn't climb the hill even in first gear. He used a wheelbarrow to lower the load and it made it. No denying that poor thing was overloaded. It had a sliding driver's door and a side sliding door for the cargo area, and the back had a tailgate above two small doors. During the second year they were selling them the infamous "chicken tax", a tariff of 30%, went into effect against European trucks. Renault bailed on the trucks. VW fully outfitted the interior with three rows of seats and wall panels etc. and renamed it a Station Wagon (estate) and avoided the tariff. After several years the inevitable happened, the too tiny engine backfired it's last spur and went to iron heaven. Parts were hard to get by then so it was Adios Amigo. It had a strange shift pattern, almost the normal H pattern but reversed front to back. First was left and back, second straight ahead, third right and back, fourth right and forward. Does yours have the same pattern?

Are those 2CV wheels?

The Renault 16 content has been amazing. And the way you talk about your cars is infectious too. Great that the channel has had so much traction !

This looks amazing!!

Took me 2 years to get this far, just found the channel, well done for the growth! No idea on a channel name, I need to reconsider mine, nobody can find it 😬

An Estafette - excellent! Far more 'cool' and exclusive than the now-ubiquitous Citroën 'H'.

How about "A Very French Affair", "Rustiqué Restorations" or "The Francophile Fettler"

what about ...." The good the bad and the fixable"....;-)

All thanks to the little Renault 16. Vive la France!

You were doing really well And then you mentioned the 309 was going to be star of the show Viewers tuned in for a 60s classic Renault 16 More rare stuff

Throughly enjoyed your Renault 16 appraisal and escapades! Anyone can splash out and drive around in fast moderns, but it’s a special breed that dedicates (or is daft enough) to take on these unappreciated classics, they always make for a good story.

Manboost at NET? But nothing is boosted!… N/A classics at NET. Lol

Awesome, been at it years and not there. Your style of recording works very well for the viewer 👍🏼

I've always wanted to have a classic car, and my goal is to get an old Mini in British Racing Green. I do most of the work on my current car myself. Watching this channel gives me hope that I might achieve this! Watching this channel gives me hope I might achieve this! Thanks.

Subscribed as soon as you said "Citroen ZX"

I never gave R16s a second glance, thanks for showing us around your little gem. Looks a smidge more civilized than my beloved 2CV - love it. :)

lovely video mate, i have an mk1 twingo myself and looking at the budget swap options for now:)

Rest assured I'll be following whatever you'll be doing with the R16! Just wondering though, have you considered hunting down a 5-speed gearbox for it? That's the one thing I'd possibly would want to anoint my own R16 with down the line, just to dial down the motorway revs somewhat. The TX (which was never sold here in Sweden, don't know about the UK) came with that gearbox, as did the Lotus Europa as far as I know, so they are attainable.

Hi mate, are you able to do the same for other customers who have the same issue? Just enquiring how much this would cost? Thanks

I love this these.

What I love: You have such warmth and devotion. I had three R16s. I'm 65 now. I'd love another. May never happen! Watching this makes me relive the car and there is a real joy in the videos. Thank you.

Still wish I had one!

The R16 was my second car. Loved it and all the Renaults of the era. Thanks for sharing, especially your driving POV. Takes me back to my youth in Australia😊

oh my the camera quality and car

Passed my test in a Mk1 Cortina with a column change, they are very comfortable to use. She's a great old girl, looking forward to more videos.
