it must be quite noticeably quicker than the corsa, the twingo is lighter and more bhp

Al, when you have it, invest in a tidy set of wheels, make the most of the handling on it

thats quite cool nice colour too!

i was looking at some on 05 plates. 4.5k'ish

perfect for me so i can potch with it abit, wouldnt want to on a 8k car

they seem to respond quite well to breather mods and cams.

not sure what it would be like compared to my 172 though. handling is supposed to be better on the twingo though

i'd have to change the front seats to 197 ones or something, hold you in more.

Fair enough mate. They're actually based on the mk2 clio so don't know if there's anything you could carry over if you did get one.
