Renault 5 Automatic

Car No. 8
From 03/2005 to 26/05/2005

While I was driving my white Renault 5 Solar Team back home, I suddenly heard such a bad noise I thought the clutch broke. I parked the car on the side of the street and at home I immediately looked for a new car, found this one, and bought it. Only after taking a closer look at the broken down Renault 5 I found it actually had broken the axle, something very unlikely to happen but not a major repair issue. Because I now owned this Automatic, I sold the white Renault 5 after it was fixed.

Driving an automatic car, uncommon for The Netherlands, is actually very nice. It turned out it’s quite a unique car too, only few automatic Renault 5s were produced. Unfortunately, as soon the axle started making some noises, I sold it again.
