Hey Oppo, my name is RT and I’m a self proclaimed Renault Avantime fan from the (not so)mystical lands of Europe. AMA about car things if you want.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Here is an Avantime for reference:

Yes, in that colour. Maybe not with these wheels though.

Weird.

Personally, I prefer the blue color and six-spoke wheels.

Definitely prefer the six spoke wheels, i just couldn’t find a good pic with both the green and six spoke.

I'd probably go for blue as well, but these days green has become a signature colour for me.

Neat, one of the more interesting Renaults.

Hmm, never seen that colour, though it looks quite good!

Also which part of the (not so)mystical Europe, if I may ask? I’m from the Netherlands.

I’m in the (not so)mystical England.

Netherlands is a cool place though, there tends to be a lot of car people from there from what I’ve seen.

How can you not like that?

If anyone here has played Gran Turismo 2, you'd know why as well. xD

Congrats, you saved the day.

Cool!

We’ve got quite some car guys indeed, though we’ve got way less (racing)heritage then the UK.

At least no Austin Allegros came out of the Netherlands though. xD

No, but the Mitsubishi Carisma and Smart ForFour did...

And I drove past this place, once...

One of the 1st photos I put on my Instagram after I arrived in Belgium was that of an Avantime for my Top Gear fan friends back in the USA.

Will you buys us some so we can have an Oppo Avantime race series?

In 2026, maybe.

It’s been ages since I’ve last seen one on the road myself.

Hello! I’ve seen you around, it’s awesome that we have more French car guys here on Oppo! As you can tell, Swedish cars are my favorite although the Gallic ones come in a close second. I look forward to having you around more often ;)

I’m patient

They are the best Dutch carbuilders at the moment. Though seeing some of the old Spykers and Eysink yesterday, makes me feel sad about the fact that while we were among the great early car makers, that is almost completely gone now.

I’ve always been more of a Swedish car person myself.

I happen to have a lot of favourites which are French, but I generally prefer Swedish metal overall.

Both are cool in their own way though.

I started to say “that’s an ugly car!” Then I changed my mind.

That was my first reaction too, it grows on you in weird way.

Don’t forget this Spyker as well…

Hello. I also like the Avantime.

They did green Avantimes? Seemingly so.

It was even a factory colour.

Hello and welcome! I’m one of those weird Americans who think the Avantime is pretty neat. I’ve also got to see one in person! There’s a museum in Tennessee that has a blue one.
