Itâs been a while since Iâve had a smile as big as the one I have right now after going through the entirety of this thread. Itâs a gem and Iâm gonna archive it.

Itâs very fun when alternators decide to shit themselves
My benz did that once and left me stranded in a supermarket parking garage. I had frozen peas in my bags and it was summer, too.
Happened to me in the Accord. Funny enough this happened with the new alternator in the passenger seat only 10 minutes from the shop. I was feeling especially stubborn and I happened to have my jumper pack and a set of jumper cables. So rather than wait an hour for a tow truck, I rigged the jump box to the battery with the cables out the passenger window. Looked sketchy as hell, but it got me there without causing any electrical fires.

Ah fuck, here we go again
Hilbert trying not to buy new car every six months challenge (impossible)
THIS is my 2005 Renault Twingo!
As Anthony McBazooka said, âYou are hon hon in the streets
But omelette de fromage in the sheetsâ
No really, he did say that, in his song Merci Twingo!
It comes with several features, such as four wheels. Three doors. Four seats. Five gears, and one wiper.
Big doors so big people can enter.
Massive trunk for groceries!
The car comes with very fancy digital speedometer.
And original radio from 2005.
When it comes to features, there is fancy steering wheel adjustment thing for the radio!
And because the French couldnât figure out how to make normal cars, the horn is on the indicator stalk.
But thatâs not all! I kid you not, for some reason it has electric windows. For driver and passenger.
Those were the features. Now when it comes to thing it doesnât have, there is no air conditioning. No power steering (donât need one, it weights like 40kg on a bad day). No central locking. No heated seats. No steering wheel adjustment. But if we ignore all those, itâs a great little car. Small turning radius, I like.
I decided to put flowers in the background because itâs such a happy little car.

I hate this thread already. Good job! Throw in some animations and ear wrecking midi music in the next update and youâve reached peak discourse.

Really beautiful, I wish I had the pleasure of having one! It represents the evolution of Renault in the 90s, it smells of happiness!
What price did it cost you? I would like to have it as a collectorâs car and use it on weekends, tell me if itâs worth having it!
My guyâs most expensive car and it costs sub 2k Euros at the condition he bought it in.
If you have spare cash lying around for a nippy little car that makes jack shit power, isnât really comfortable but is plenty sensible and practical enough, go for it.

Even in a dull silver, the original Twingo was (and is) a very cute car. Itâs a pity no attempt was made to build an RHD version, presumably because Renault believed it to be too basic for the British Isles. Thankfully, it still holds up today as a cheap (and cheerful) runaround:
In light of the overwhelming popularity of SUVs and the shrinking market for affordable new cars of any kind, itâs high time we deserve more cars like this:
I have already discussed this in my thread here - you should check it out.
The biggest regret about the original Twingo, however, is that a hot version (with around 100 bhp or so) was never even on the drawing board at any point in its life - such a car could have easily given the Peugeot 106 GTI/Rallye and VW Lupo GTI a run for their money - but that would have to wait until the next generation of Twingo, and it turned out to be the only time a true high-performance version was available during the modelâs entire lifespan.

It is one of my favorite cars from the 90s (cheap and original compact cars hahaha). My neighbor has one in green and itâs beautiful. I have seen them in my area for 1000 euros, but they are poorly preserved. I want to have something fun, Iâm tired of my volvo S60 and I need to spend my money on more cars!
I want to have a daily car (my volvo) and some collectibles in my garage like the 205, twingo⌠any suggestions? Thanks!
You finns are tough stuff, I can barely survive whithout mine here.
If it makes you feel any better, Iâve done that myself while completely sober. Though in my defense, the coolant and washer fluid reservoirs were right next to each other and I didnât notice until I closed the cap.

As an American shitbox enthusiast, I must say Iâm quite jealous. I just love small, basic, low power cars that weigh nothing. And you guys have them in spades.
Sure! Iâd recommend you view this on a computer.
To clarify, the point of this was to show that cool handbrake turn I did!
