Let's take a look at some old Renault ads, including one that tests the crash feed

I have to get up in four hours to go to this Volkswagen Tiguan event, and somehow I haven't finished the cold start. I haven't even really packed! It's only two days, so it shouldn't be a big deal, but somehow I always seem to end in these situations. You would think I would learn, but somehow not. It would be impressive if I weren't so damn tired. But they still deserve a start, served cold and they have one. With some strange old Renault commercials.

One reason why I was somehow distracted is that Matt asked me about another batch of Apple II-generated cars. To take these pictures, I have an original Apple II from 1979 or 1980, which randomize the parts, put them together in a car, create the name and then create it in something that can actually be sent via modern computers, the game I/A port on the Apple II is used to trigger the closure of a DSLR camera.

I wish I could find out how I can stop the flash of shooting. However, the process looks like this – this is from last year when we have made randomized robots, but the process is the same:

Anyway, Matt needed a few more, but when I tried to get the thing going, I found that the camera would not fire! Pooh.

Finally, I realized that half of the wires, which merged from the small optical switch unit to the game port and also to the camera and also to the camera, had been solved, so I had to repair them. But I did it and they worked and I got Matt 178 randomized cars before the camera battery died.

Why am I telling you all of this? Because I'm tired and amazed, that's why.

Let's go back to Auto -things. Or at least huge food that crashed for a Renault display:

So what do we get here? It looks like we have a German white sausage (a Bavarian white sausage), a Japanese sushi role, one of these large Swedish craspread cracker-like things and finally a French baguette. These foods are clearly metaphors for the cars from these respective countries, at least I think that on the text based on the text in German they come from the safest cars from France.

In this advertisement from 2005, Renault's five-star accident security reviews is emphasized, which in my opinion makes more sense than this is a literally test for the safety of food collisions, since I think in real tests that the sausage may be better off, although I suspect that the sushi role would still be able. The crispy is always doomed to fail, but if this baguette is still a bit stale, it would at least partially break into a cloud of crumbs.

The same ad agency, North Pole+, made another place with crash security focus, so-called Ballet:

This is a fairly fantastic ad, strangely beautiful and satisfactory destructive and at the same time.

Now let's see a Renault display with a rear engine! Here is one for the Renault 10, a car that I like very much, and it is easy in which Renault offers to buy a car if it is below 2,000 US dollars and has what the R10 has.

I think here is the big guarantee that Renault would not have to buy anyone, the mention of the “separate compartment for the replacement tire”, which was a kind of specific Renault Hallmark. Remember you did the same with the dauphine:

Did you also hear how you spoke the name “Ree-Nault” with a vocalized “T”? So they thought that the Americans should hear the name to understand it and apparently forget that we have been saying “chevrolet” for decades.

OK. I have to pack and sleep something!
