With Tina on the sidewalk Renault Twingo GT
Even after the first kilometers on a rocket from the Renault Sport workshop, I wondered if the Category B exam would be enough at all, and if so, if A helps, maybe I should have a license to fly to the stratosphere and back. I will not say "machine" because that would be unfair.

That the Twingo GT is an old-fashioned racing car at heart (and by no means outwardly) is clear: there is something sympathetically dusty and race-authentic about the rear (turbo) drive. One hundred and ten "cavalrymen" doesn't sound like much, but they are all Sport-certified thoroughbred stallions who can quickly come into conflict with the law as the missile is quickly launched from the speed limit zone.
“I just touched the gas,” I explained to the officer and handed him the documents. I don’t tell how I took her away, a decent girl keeps the details to herself, but I can say that the young policemen, without hesitation, strained their saliva over the machine curtains. orange allspice. I tell you, this is such a hot pepper that instantly ignites your body and heart. If it were not as expensive as saffron (from 14.090 EUR 17 and up), I am convinced that the color structure of traffic on Slovenian roads would change from orange to more favorable. Do you like stickers? I have them! Here, the Twingo GT has a whole bunch of them - on the roof, on the hood and on the sides - and they all create the illusion of speed. And in order not to accidentally forget that I get into a race car, and not into a tractor, branded door sills and a small racing leather racing steering wheel remind me of this. And black and silver XNUMX-inch wheels and a side air intake for effective cooling (which, I confess, I tried to open on the first day to refuel). And last but not least, the center chrome twin tailpipe. A real double pipe!
That said, there's nothing sinister about the car - I put the chassis in a clean A, the grip on the road is better than my mother's, and the short gearbox lives up to the overused adjective dynamic that adorns the pamphlet. By all accounts, I should also be excited about the stratospheric infotainment system, but let me tell you, I don't like that devil - it seems to me that drivers look less and less at the road and send more and more messages while driving. And this is the word of a motorcyclist who does nothing on the highway except to make sure that the cars "circle away from themselves" from waist to waist.
