    Sticking

    Happens to mine all the time. Living by the seaside the damp/wind/salt causes that bit of corrosion. Obviously worse in wet weather / winter time. It's happened on most of the cars I've had here to a greater or lesser extent. I'd rate the Twingo as one of the worst and my conclusion is that...

    Clutch just went bye bye

    I should just LOVE to drive round with a slipping clutch for 6 months.... ....almost as much as I'd LOVE to be the sucker that buys it off you in 6 months. :lol:

    BP Ultimate

    Owners manual for the Twingo RS says use 95-98 RON. BP Ultimate etc are 99 RON so I would say do not use.

    Driving in russia is CRAZY

    Haha. It was the mid-1980s, I lived in London and was looking for a decent car for £2000. I saw this blue 125P with 1300cc and ME spec level. decent equipment - velour seats, 5 speed box, disc brakes all round, remote release for the boot lid. It was 9 months old and less than 1500 miles...

    Driving in russia is CRAZY

    Those old Ladas and Polski Fiats were built like tanks. I had a Polski in the mid-1980s and loved it - always felt safe and with plenty of metal around you.

    What you thinking for the next car??

    Something with a bit more refinement / space / comfort. At the moment, the Kia Optima is one of the best looking cars around imho

    1/50 Silverstone press car for sale

    Agree with previous posts. Ex-journo cars are like ex-cop cars and ex-driving school cars Well-maintained and well put back together after the grunts have finished thrashing them. Will have full service history and anything that squeaks/rattles will have been long-since tightened up or...

    Twingo RS (CUP) insurance?

    It can't be a modification if it came out of the factory that way... ...besides, if there was ANY common sense in the insurance industry it'd actually be cheaper to insure a Cup, because same power + better handling = less probability of an accident, right? :-)
