There are three/four of them, the second was in the early 80's and had a DOHC indy engine and was later changed to make a Supervan3 and they now have an electric one...

Renault came up with an answer to the Ford Super Van in the mid 90's.  It's the V-10 F1 Espace van, probably the best sounding van ever built!

Those people in the US can't have Renaults, so they buy Subarus instead  :-X

 :o I lived in France for a time period and bought a Renault and then crashed into a stone wall.
I wanted to blame the stone wall but it was probably the road. It was too narrow. ;D

Well since the Forum been kind of quiet lately i tell you ;D I actualy owed a Renault when i was a kid
A Floride , Dad made some horsetrading with a junkyard and the Floride become mine, a total rustbucket
My plan was for a new chassie with Volvo components but but it never happened


Nice looking exept for the front, Only a mother can love that. Tesla recycled that front design ???  I think when it went defenitly wrong for Renault was early 60s with the 4L and then it went downhill.
 
My 4th to 6th grade school was neighbor with a Journalist school It was a total Hippie camp. Main ocupation for the student was, smoking weed, drinking cheap redvine, reading Comrad Maos little red meinkampfh, Protest, Demonstrate, Worship Pol Pot and painting flowers on their Renault 4Ls.
Our theatchers warned us we was not to take any candies from them if they offereds us some ;D ;D. After that they got work on newspapers that was telling us the " Truth" ::)
One time me and dad was going home from town, road passed the hippie camp, and a cow barn was on fire close to the hippie camp.
Dad stopped and saved the cows from the fire just after that the fire departmen showed up and started to put out the fire. When a hippie women showed up
totaly stoned," hide" behind a small tree ,took of her clothes and stark naked run for the fire ;D ;D. One fireman hosed her so she fell down and he  ::)hosed her away from the fire. Still remember her saggy tits flopping like a flag in hard wind from the spray. Cops showed up and had to handcuf her and take her away ::)

7th to 9th grade i had 4 marxsist teatchers ,each of them had a maroon Renault 16 one was even a Stalinist he used to brag about his journeys to Sovietunion
and East Germany and tell us how much better there was, that he had seen Lenins corpse,bla,bla,bla.
He realy hated me beacuse i had a Thunderbird and a U.S flag on my denim Jacket and he asked me why and if i knew what that flag represented and i answered  yes FREDOM ;D ;D dont took me long to figure out how to press his button to send him through the roof

That Floride reminds me of the Corvair, another horrific car.

That flag you had on your jacket Heo doesn't mean what it once did (if it ever really did). The Marxists and their soft-core socialist comrades have been firmly in charge (in varying degrees depending on the state) over here for decades. Gotta be careful, leaning towards a political/philosophical discussion here :)

Diogenes and his fellow ancient Cynics had the right ideas....:)

A 14 year old kid questioning his teacher is a great thing--even better that you pushed his buttons! I've taught at college/university and strive to get students to question everything; sadly, few seem capable or willing. I encourage questioning and dissent, but there seems to be a lot of fear to do so. Too many in "higher" education commit educational malpractice, in my opinion.

Sorry!, this is a Ford Super Van thread....oops:)

I racked up 191,000+ miles on my 2020 Transit in 13 months without any issues--that was a Super Ford Van, and it never left me stranded, because it was gasoline powered. It ran perfect and non-stop, even when the temperatures were sub-zero.
