For Raoul . . .

Hey Raoul -

I just got back from Paris for Xmas. I saw this and thought of how you said you were waiting for Renault to make a pick-up truck . . .

Well, I didn't see any Renault pick-up trucks, however this thing drove by and I grabbed these pix:






It's some kind of van kind of thing . . . it's by Renault, (it's called the "Traffic") and I guess it's attractive in the kind of way that only a Renault can be . . .

It's rather low to the ground so ingress and egress for goats would be pretty easy, and it looked fairly roomy inside (there were about 8 adults in this thing as it drove by).

If that doesn't do it for you, then there was this thing:




I have no idea what it's supposed to be . . . kind of a mini-van/station wagon kind-of-thing.

It is made by Renault though, so you might like it.

k

That's a little ambitious; but, with a couple of Viagras and a few gallons of water, it might be possible.

I know what it is:

The frogs looked at the Element and saw what a "huge" success it is, and they decided to make the "Suburban" version of it for the large frog families.

That's my guess.

The bottom car/van thing is the Renault Vel Satis, another fine example of why Renault no longer is in the U.S. market. That ugly piece of crap looks it ran through the ugly forest and hit every branch. The only interesting thing is the panoramic (all glass) roof, that might be nice to make out under.

EEWWWW, those vehicles are just wrong. I can't fathom someone going to a dealership and actually picking something like that out...they must be shopping in the dark!
