Hello, and greetings from Sombor, Vojvodina, Serbia.
My name is Sergej (yes – one of those Russian hard to pronounce for English speaking people names. I suppose the nearest to correct pronunciation is if you write it Sergey). But most people just call me Serge (yes, French-like sounding). Well, now having said that I guess it would sound rather silly to tell you that I am a bit of an Anglophile – which I am
. As most of my fellow Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians... well – Balkans natives I beg your pardon regarding my English and apologize in advance. So far I spent half an hour just writing this part with a little help of my friend – MS Word spell check.
Nothing special about me, really. Owner of one modest beige colored Renault 4 GTL that just turned 20 (the car, not me – I'm almost twice as old), made in Slovenia. Stock car if you don't count few rust spots on the body and several rather silly gadgets, but about that some other time. Psychologist by education, like reading, writing, humor (British especially), radio, beer... well, "fat with spectacles" about sums it up. :shock: Oh yes – I like Renault 4 in almost all it's forms.
I see that some of Renault 4 Serbia forum members already joined in here. Petak, milosbeli, Sava and of course John Doe. I suppose they would vouch for me, especially John.
I've been visiting this forum sporadically for a quite long time now (few years) and I said to myself that I have to register before R4 turns 50 years. So I did.
I suppose you have a lot of positive comments but nevertheless – great site and forum. I especially enjoy (apart from technical tips, great photographs etc.) witty comments and pictures. Like these:

I shall try to obey rules of this forum and for now just read, read, read to get to know you and the forum better. I understand copyright issue regarding pictures and other material, and am aware of "search" option. So, I suppose I will not cause trouble... at least concerning these matters.
About R4... well, I had one back when I was 5 years old – yes, it was model car about 2 inches long but nevertheless. Drove one several times as a teenager... well... it's love I guess.
Last year I moved from Belgrade to Sombor (some 180 km) using my R4. True, I do not have many things, nothing bigger than washing machine but still... I thought: why employ a "man with a van" when I have my own little carrying mule. Other than that I try to keep it well taken care of – don't think that I carry bricks in it every day. For me it's every day car. I still struggle to keep it on the road (MOT, taxes etc.) because for me it is first, and for my spouse – second car.
Well, that is about it for now.

Anyway – here is the video – it's not best quality but other people filmed too so when they post it I'll let you know. There is a interesting bit when Megane RS overtakes in slalom (06:20).
