london commute

[manofhow]

drove 'the noodle' in to central london this morning for the first time since getting her, during rush hour and she coped very well.

thought was gonna be a pain with all the pot holes and stopping and starting, but like we all know the twingo can take anything in there stride.


the heads of where i work wanted to have a look at her, lets she if she impresses.

The Twingo 133 does make a brilliant town car I must admit. It's nippy enough to get away from the lights briskly so you can avoid idiots.

Working up in the city I see all these idiots driving Range Rovers, Aston Martins, even a bloke who regularly drives a Ferrari 458 and I can't help thinking they must all be hard work to drive round a busy city.

Can't help thinking that I'd love a little nippy hot hatch rather than any of the above for driving round London.

Twingo is ideal in my town center, saying that did a run upto the Airport this morning and it flew! loving the 1.6! Why do they drive Ferrari's and Aston Martins regularly surely they need a good stretch of there legs now and again! poor things!

Yeah tell me about it, I just can't help thinking that driving a super car or SUV through London would be a hassle. They're wider than most cars, use more fuel and are hard work round town.

Then again with most of the lawyers/banker it's just a willy waving contest to show off their cars.

Sadly I work for the bloody lawyers!! lol

Prob as well I found when used to drive round London was parking, all spaces are designed to only fit a smart car

Was fun driving the car round all the back street to avoid the traffic and the people at work loved it.

I love driving the car in a city, except maybe for the pot holes and the typical Belgian roads, because you can really exploit every gap. However, I think it has a rather big turning circle for being such a small car.
