Renault 18 Turbo. 1984.

This is one of the 44 cars that I've owned since 1974. Most of the early ones were Renaults such as this one.

 

A curious fact about this car was it was an early turbocharged Renault and after driving it it was necessary to leave the engine idling for a whole minute before switching off, otherwise the hot turbo would "cook" the lubricating oil causing damage.
