Also, is it actually possible to drive the car like that? Also, I know that in the US, Renaults were given names (for example, the R5 was the LeCar, the R21 was the Medallion, etc...) What was the 11 called?

I think that in the 80's it was quite popular style of driving in France. /vehicle_2021-Citroen-2CV-4-1970.html -- Last edit: 2006-10-11 22:49:38
Delta Fox ◊ 2006-11-03 22:25	Oh, that car. Sorry, there was no indication of which car you were referring to. Hey, you think it's still popular to drive a car that way?
Lacv75 ◊ 2007-07-18 18:42	How do we know that it's a Renault 20 and not a 30? Can you see the front end in the movie? I can't remember...(that will tell)
Kazimann ◊ 2007-07-18 23:15	In theroy, it would be possible, the R11 being a front-wheel drive car. However, the fuel tank is at the rear of the car, and thus it would have ran out of petrol very quickly.
