New Owner!

[BenadetH]

Hello all.

My name is Ben Timpson.

I am 38 and work for a shipping company. I am an Englishman living in Aberdeen Scotland.

I have owned Renaults since 2003 and have a couple of clio's. a 172 and a 182.

I have wanted a Twingo 133 for AGES and have finally decided to get one and will take the 172 off the road for a while as it needs some money spent on it bodywork wise.

I have found a right little gem of a Twingo and cannot wait to pick it up on the 26th. Because they're so rare, I am getting the train to Scunthorpe from Aberdeen.

Hi Ben, looks like a great car and will be a nice drive home when you do pick it up

Nice work Ben! I'm an Englishman in Glasgow and got my 133 from Evesham. Not sure about specialists up in Aberdeen but RenTec Edinburgh are incredible with all RS models. Enjoy!

Thanks all. had her almost a week now and although the weather hasn't been great...loving it! No slouch between 60 and 90 are they?

 

[Miller]

Glad your loving it. How was the drive home and was the car as good in the flesh as the video?

 

[BenadetH]

Hello mate. The drive home was good, well as good as Motorways can be but its always fun in a car like that and I love the way they have so much pull between 60 and 90. There was some confused bigger cars haha!

Yes, surprisingly, it was pretty much as good as the video. I am a keen detailer so I will be having a go at her anyway

 

[Miller]

Well great to hear im looking forward to getting home

and taking mine for a good drive.

I will be looking out for pics once you have detailed her all up then. I've started on mine need the better weather to come.

Any others plan's other than the detail?

Hi Miller

yeah, I am replacing the tyres to PS3's as the garage put ******* Jinyu tyres on that have nearly killed me!!

I might get some cooksport springs on there too...

How about yours?

 

[Miller]

Personally I never liked the Ps3's I had to put them on my trophy before I sold it and didnt like driving on them. But I know lots of people that love them tho.
I also had cooksports on the trophy for a while, liked them but are very hard. I've got some apex springs on order for my twingo and a custom exhaust being made tomorrow.

 

[BenadetH]

How's the exhaust and springs mate?

 

[Miller]

The exhaust is great just fone for a 3" single round which isn't to loud but a nice deep tone. Also loving the springs looks so much better and still drives well not to bumpy. Going to fit my speedline 2118's next weekend.
