I accidentally bought a French thing last week, I'm also quite ashamed to say I'm enjoying it.... 
Its a Renault Twingo GT... It smells like cheese.

Still got a Fiat so not all is lost. This just gets used for motorway miles really with its rubbish electronics and woeful clutch that couldn't grab a gear if it wanted too :bang:
dave is right. Talking about it is your best option. Speak out on here and you can be assured of a sympathetic hearing, everyone will help you with your new affliction.
We're all friends on here................:devil:

Don't worry, I've fallen out with it these past few weeks, the fun turbo effect has worn off on me and now its just another boring car. Can't wait to reinsure the Fiat for the summer

Remap time, wonder what you can get from the 1200cc turbo Renault lump...and how long it'll last if you did :devil:

less than 1000 miles ( they use "F1 technology" you know )
Just hope it's old F1 technology, you couldn't trust the current F1 power train to do a 1000yds.

Seem to get about 130 - 140bhp out of these remapped with bigger injectors. This one won't be getting remapped anytime soon what with it already having many many miles on it already and the fact I'd rather spend the money sorting out my Panda.
Also I know they call it a 1.2 but its a 1.1 really....
I've only just seen this. Nearly smashed one of them up on a test drive back in 2008 when they first came out
I like the look of them, but the test driving confirming the French are still lazy at converting a car from LHD to RHD put me off - and the lack of an automatic option. Do they still only do them in manuals

They've killed off everything in the range except boggo manual 1.2s and the renaultsport version now. Getting ready for the smart car based replacement.
