Show Us Your Frenchies!

[traffman]

Just spotted this French thread! This is mine. 2.0 litre turbo . Tweeked , also purchased a set of Speedlines to go with it. The floorpan is having some work done on it this weekend. I miss driving....or rather hanging on for dear life to the steering wheel!

Two grand's worth of Twingo GT. I wanted a 133 really but couldn't find one locally within budget. Oh well. I like it so far - quick enough, the slidey rear seats are a neat touch and I like the way it looks.

How did you manage to get the port-a-cabin all in shot and only half the car ?

Here's mine. 1 of 20 remaining sunflower phase 1 172's in the country.

^ love that shape Clio, especially the sunflower ones obviously . Has a face like a sad puppy but they've failed to make a nice face on their cars since imo

Picked this up yesterday. In no way is it sporty, but it's a very comfortable & relaxing thing to drive.

Nice. Getting rare now, the ph1. Love a sunflower on OZs. Im looking at buying a stter for next year and itll likely be a Ph2 as they are so god damm cheap even if it runs for 12 months its no great loss.

Be suprised if a ph1 sunflower didnt go up in value any time soon...

Yup! It's got the blue & black watch strap seats too, which I really like. Your white one looks great

The watch strap seats really suit the car in my opinion. Should be standard equipment! How do you find the new headlights? I'd love to upgrade mine but I suspect the cost would be through the roof.

[Hammerhead]

I'm finding the headlights very good indeed. Good spread and height plus I really like how they follow the steering round bends. The latter is very useful down the country roads. I've not really tried them on main beam yet as dipped seems very effective. My only minor gripe with the car is why 1st (and maybe 2nd) gear are so short. Once into 3rd, it's away down the road very nicely

[Muddle238]

I agree, the directional Xenons were one of the reasons I went for a DSport over a DStyle, well worth it in my opinion. Indeed, they are a little short in the gearing. However sat at 70 in sixth and you can hardly hear it, very refined motorway cruiser. It's a shame there aren't more about, but then again it's nice to have something slightly against the grain!

[Hammerhead]

Yes, that it's rare and not the usual default choice were contributory factors in going for one. I hope its eventual replacement model keeps away from the mainstream way of doing things - the world needs some automotive difference!

[Muddle238]

So do I, I am hoping for great cars from DS...
