Was cycling through shelford after work and spotted a T with personal plate RIB ** parked near the pub, and take away van.

Crazy how many there are around here now

I met this new T owner a few weeks back. He has a yellow A610 also.

 

[Gazza]

whats an A610?

 

[marrow]

I'll give you a clue, it's a Renault

An Alpine 610. Spiritual forerunner to the Clio V6 - manufactured at the same place in Dieppe where all our 500 babies were born.
Alpine were a Renault sub-brand back in 80s/90s and always got brilliant write ups against Porsches, Mazda RX7, Supras of the period but there always seemed to be a bit of snobbery against them. I think we Renaultsport Clio owners know what that's like!

Always thought they were just called Alpine GTA but thanks for the info

I know of this T, he has (or had) a red phase 2 V6 too and a few other nice cars, all with RIB plates!
