Renault Express diesel

Car No. 1
From 2002 to 2003

I received my first car from my uncle just after I got my drivers license. He had recently bought a new car, and this one was left over.
Even though it was not in such a good shape, it did leave an impression. Looking back, it was the worst car I ever owned. But they were cheap to purchase, and as a poor student that was very important.
After driving a while I wanted it to be faster, and I received some advise on how to ‘improve’ the car from the Renault Tuning Club. With a diesel there wasn’t much to do, but for fun I added an open air filter and a sport exhaust. The car did not live long, I hit a tree going around a corner that was not properly identified, and the engine died not too long after that.
