No real pattern, just changed cars when I've got bored or a desire for a particular one or as a stop gap. Sep 04 - Apr 05 : Ford Fiesta Si Apr 05 - Oct 05 : Honda Civic Sport (wrote off) Nov 05 - May 07 : Ford Fiesta ST May 07 - Dec 08 : Renault Clio 197 July 08 - Apr 09 : Toyota MR2 Mk1 (Track...

Hey are you likely to be at the 'ring on 26 Aug? Me and my gf are doing a Germany trip of Weeze - Frankfurt - Nurburgring next week and will be there on the 26th, would be really good to have a look at your car in person if you are there :).

Pace was never going to be the issue here, the megane was always going to win that, more powerful, extremely competant and surefooted. The biggest surprise is their conclusion of the drive of the BRZ, which is the whole point and ethos of the car, a fun, balanced, drivers car. Their car was an...

My twingo seems to be pretty pants on fuel economy, had a run down to the new forest and back at the weekend, so 95% motorway @ 70mph and got 33.5mpg overall for the tank, yet doesnt drop much when I'm using it for work which is stop start town driving, get about 29mpg then which is about what...

Loved the AD08s I had on my R26R, whilst the R888s ultimately offered more dry grip, as a road/every day tyre the AD08s were far superior, a lot less noise, 95% of the grip, double the tread and therefore lifespan, very stiff sidewall for good turn in. I've had a lot of different performance...

I've managed to get all sorts in the back of the twingo, so far been surprisingly practical for my needs. However if you have the opportunity for a 197/200 I would definitely get one instead of just swapping for a newer twingo. My latest feat:

Really admire this project and always look forward to the next update! Just now I was looking for photos from my trip to the nurburgring last April/May and saw a car I knew I recognised, a bit different then than now! (Pic from a session on 1st May 2011)

Another reason why you may need BT radio...Not sure if the non-BT radio comes with steering column stalk controls? Only say that because you access the renaultsport monitor via the 2 top buttons on the stalk

Pics added to OP, apologies for cleanliness of the wheels, came off the car yesterday and will be cleaned come the weekend.

I shall get some for you when I am home from work :)

For sale I have 4x 15” Speedline Turini Alloys for 4 stud Clio/Twingo fitment in black and with Renault centre caps fitted. They come fitted with 195/50/15 Toyo T1-Rs all round, 2 with approx 6mm tread, 2 with approx 4mm. Some kerbing to a few of the alloys, otherwise in good condition. Would...

I know I've still not got pictures of my Twingo, which I shall rectify tomorrow on my day off! In the meantime though my car history: Ford Fiesta Si 1.4 (No Pics) Honda Civic Sport 1.6 (No Pics...apart from it looking mangled!) Ford Fiesta ST: Renault Clio 197: Toyota MR2 Mk1: Honda...

Afaik it's not a track day as such but the renaultsport hot hatch experience, or I gathered that's what it was anyway? Bit annoying as I'd like to use it to break in the Twingo's track virginity! Reminds me though that I need to book mine before I forget again

Mine is number 21, no options.

Ha, other way round for me, lived in Ampthill with my parents and now recently moved to Luton! Which day is it on?
