This may seem a bit off the wall but is inspired by seeing a black Twingo Sport on the road. Rare enough, to the point I had to look hard to see what it was.

What stood out were the driving lights and the identification it sparked in my mind was a Renault Dauphine. I have no idea if this was chance or intentional but it was strange that it evoked an old Renault, as opposed to any other car.




Of course, it could just be the onset of dementia...

I'm not seeing it and I'm on the artistic spectrum so I should be able to see it.

Aside from the Mini/MINI, Type 1/New Beetle/New, New Beetle, et al?

I also thought the Twingo had a bit of R5 about it also:

Subtle like the Golf GTI keeping the red "lipstick" on the front grille since the Mk1?

I think the one I had must have had tints on the headlights. Cover them with your fingers.
