Where do we start with this one...While picking up the Renault Twingo from Brian, I fell in love with an unloved Renault 16. We had a quick peek of it in a single garage, didn't really look at it. But the deal was done! It took a month to get back for it, but that's just where the journey starts with this car. Whilst we were there we may well have bought two more old Renaults too...We just can't help ourselves!

2:20
one we've ever done yeah this is there
2:23
was zero access to to edible hot
2:25
breakfast foods when you specifically
2:28
wanted egg was upsetting we are nearly
2:31
at Brian's and I've started to get very
2:34
excited which means that I'm talking a
2:35
lot about random stuff um that is
2:39
disgusting isn't
2:41
it um I don't know if I'd be brave
2:44
enough I might ask Brian if we can maybe
2:46
document some of his cars I think I
2:48
don't know if he'd be up for that sure
2:50
we can ask
2:52
him okay
2:54
so I didn't even ask Brian if we could
2:58
film him
3:00
stuff
3:02
because I don't know you were too
3:04
excited by purchase and subsequent
3:07
purchases this exactly it I was too
3:10
excited um it's the second time we've
3:12
been down to Brian's and it's just it's
3:15
a hell of a place like wow the stuff
3:18
he's got there is
3:21
unreal highly likely going to be going
3:24
back down again
3:26
soon so uh maybe we'll ask him then
3:30
maybe he'll watch this video and he will
3:31
volunteer that we can film some of his
3:33
collection maybe maybe not um the
3:37
Renault 16
3:39
is
3:41
there there's lots of stuff in the back
3:45
um Paul and I are incapable of not
3:47
treasure
3:49
hunting we hunted
3:51
treasure we got last time we went the
3:54
weather was really poor so we we got a
3:57
tour but we like we didn't have a chance
3:58
to absorb it because we were trying to
4:00
survive and not
4:02
die this time the weather was great and
4:05
we got access to the same things we'd
4:07
saw previously but we got to spend more
4:08
time with them but also we got access to
4:10
things that we didn't see last time
4:12
which was amazing there was more a whole
4:14
Archive of Rena magazines brochures
4:18
clothing all sorts of things to delve
4:22
into it you could have spent you could
4:23
have spent all day just in that room uh
4:26
Brian was in a great mood as well not
4:28
he's never seen him not was a good mood
4:30
but he was in a great mood uh and was
4:32
enjoying showing off all of his amast
4:35
collection and stuff and just generally
4:38
we had an absolutely amazing time I'm
4:40
really really really excited about the
4:42
Reno 16 um it comes with
4:45
paperwork there is paperwork there's
4:48

4:52
Brian was very kind oh Brian actually
4:58
removed there Renault 16 artwork on the
5:02
wall so I could take it home with me
5:04
thank you Brian you're my kind of guy uh

challenged however it's quite a nice
