I've never owned a car, but my parents' car is a Renault 8 bought -I think- in 1966. So as far as age and nationality are concerned, it's a very Columboish car. But, unlike in the Peugeot 403, the motor is located at the rear end of the car. It is a rear-wheel-drive car, so you can guess how much it tends to get out of the road in bends...

Here's a pic of a similar car of the same colour very much like ours:

That is adorable!
And you can almost see Columbo in the driver's seat!!
