Mercy Buckets! Cline, if you land this, I'll be your highly paid and underworked assistant!
My Qualifications:
* Drove a rental Renault 11 (aka Encore in the US) at almost 95 kph in a tunnel on the A8 Autoroute between Monaco and Nice. On the windy and dizzyingly high bridges between tunnels, it slowed to about 85 kph. And I didn't cry and whine about it only having 3 lug nuts per wheel. Heck, those F1 Renaults only have one lug nut per wheel.
* In a rental Renault 25, successfully navigated (5 or 6 times) the part of the Monaco F1 circuit from the Tobacconist corner near the waterfront, up the hill to the Grand Casino and around Casino Square, while looking for the Jacques Cousteau Museum, which turned out to be nowhere near those sites. Valuable practice, nonetheless.
* In the same Renault 25, escaped from the maze of narrow alleys near Nice's Flower Market (OK, I made a wrong turn) without a scratch, while being pursued by an impatient honking BMW E30 driver.
* Drag raced against a 520i out of a toll booth on the A8, and would have won too, if my manager had not woken up and started screaming like girl when we hit 160kph. (Automatic 190Es are buzzy cars.)
* Also drag raced an unsuspecting Twingo driver, beating him handily with my rental Neon. Well, you can leave that out.
Art, Sorry we at Renault are trying to clean up our image. You look like a liability.
