Hello french car lovers

my name is nick and i am from south lincolnshire (yes wonderful country roads everywhere)

i currently drive a 04 daihatsu charade (yawn) and will be getting the keys to my 59 twingo rs 133 next friday. i got the charade just under a year ago when i got back into driving after learning on two wheels for a few years. i have had a hot hatch before in a suzuki ignis sport. that was a hoot of a car. sold that to a mate before i got my bike licence.

i currently ride a ybr250. only did my 33bhp licence to start with. i know its abit of a commuter bike but i will be getting a sports naked bike of some sort at the end of october. probably a monster or a street triple.

anyway, i look forward to the banter on this forum

Hi! Welcome to the forum as Courtney has already said there is plenty of friendly banter on here

What colour did you go for? Did you go for one with the cup chassis?

 

[nst1981]

i went for a crimson one. and i didnt get the cup chassis. i did test drive a cup but roads where i live are terrible and i have had stiff suspension before and i prefered the slightly softer ride and i love air con. me bike is bad enough and thats supposed to have soft suspension

my old car:

Mmmmm, Nice Ignis Hope you kept the wheels!!!

Welcome to the Forum

i sold the white wheels and the gold wheels with the car. they did look good. i sold the ignis to a mate. i still see it occasionally. i do have a spare set of the white wheels but they could do with a clean and a powdercoat but they are only 15's. maybe put some winter tyres on them

 

[madmatt]

I was looking for a set of the Enkeis for my Twingo for one reason or another *looks shifty* but 15" would throw the Speedo out by too much :/

Would be great for winter tyres though A nice set of wheels for winters, sounds like a plan!

 

[nst1981]

if you put the right tyres on it shouldnt affect the speedo too much

 

[nst1981]

if you put the right tyres on then the sppedo shouldnt be out too much

 

[nst1981]

my first double post. wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

 

[nst1981]

just checked, the original tyres are only 0.5% out so they should be fine

 

[madmatt]

205/50 15 to get the same Speedo Rating on the Twingo RS Cup, that's a big sidewall

 

[nst1981]

the white wheels are only 5j so wont take much wider than 185's and they come with 185/55/15's on em
