Picked up the Olympies from “The Wheel Specialist” this morning, a day late as they weren’t happy with one of the centre caps so redid and it had to cure overnight.

Chemically stripped to remove all prev paint, small number of kerb scuffs repaired then powder coated to match the original finish on the centre caps. The centre caps were repainted to match

Absolutely blown away at the finish

Then delivered the Rhodes to Camberley sale covered some of the cost but chuffed to have another item from the Options List on the car

very smart, how do you find the ride on 18" ? and the slightly lower profiles..

Actually improved over the Rhodes, the 18” wheel and the tyre sidewall profile down from 50 to 45 makes the ride less “bouncy” and feels more planted

Took the Avantime over to Neiderbronn just outside Strasbourg for the 2025 AGM meet, 70 cars attended but spread over 3 hotels so no large group piks

Always a number of interesting drive outs, Transport Museum, Tree Top walkway and castle close to the border with Germany

Also attending was Isabelle Charles who was responsible for the interior and exterior colour schemes on the Avantime during development, she still works for Renault and was very interesting to chat with

A compilation of piks
