Anyone with a Twingo over 40?

[Nick3814]

Hi folks, as I mentioned in my introductory thread I'm looking at getting an RS Twingo to complement my RS250 in the next year, Renault obviously aim the Twingo at a much younger audience so I wondered who owns one in their 40s, I might add I'm 40.....!

Then with Government till 1995 and retirement to my Scottish ruin,- 43 years with a fair amount of excitement and very few dull moments.

As much as the Twingo is aimed at the 'youngsters' being insurance friendly, relatively cheap to buy and run, it's huge fun whether your 18 or 78!! haha

Wish my mum was as much of a petrol head, she's got a Gordini 1.2T which admittedly was a good choice on her part haha.

Yep, 40 last year.
Moved to the RS133 Gordini from a '05 plate Civic Type R last Spring.

Had a '03 RS Clio172 before that.

My other car at moment is a RS Clio 182 Cup in Racing Blue.

I turned 50 last year - last 3 cars have been a C2 VTS, C2 Code and now a Twingo 133 w/Cup Chassis.

Who says fun cars are just for the kids?
