The 3rd Twin(go)

Twins go · Feb 22, 2014

Hi folks,

We're twins and have just bought a white 10 Plate RS133 (with cup chassis of course) after a few months of Cooper S ownership and thought we'd join this forum.

Not got too many pictures just now, we're waiting on some snow foam and other cleaning products coming to give it a proper wash next weekend but here it is...

We've got a fair bit planned for it that will be done over the next few months, that's for a project thread though

Welcome to the madhouse.
Surely you must get jealous of each other when your passenger and not driving?

We absolutely do yes.

Neither of us actually realised how much fun this car would be after having the Mini. It was all about out right speed though, and was a good laugher it didn't take corners as well as it should have, resulting in a 50mph spin into a wall!

Hence we now own a twingo...

And of course we have two lots of money/time to spend on modifications!

the twingo is the complete opposite. outright speed is not great, but its part trick is it goes round corners like a go kart.

That's one of things we love about the Twingo though - you can use more of it, more of the time. The Cooper S could spin the wheels in third in this weather so it had to be driven carefully. We're having so much more fun in the Twingo!
