Nice 👍 The Mini is a cracker and I've always quite liked the Twingo, was a very clever car for its time.

Why three cars? Owned by different family members or do you use them for different things?

The Twingo is my "xodó", because it was my very first car, when I wanted to sale, it doesn't worth anything, so I keep it...

The Mini is a non everyday car, soo I rarely use (You can see that the plate is Black, insted of gray, indicating that is an antique car wih more than 90% of originality)

My Mother has a Honda Civic LX 2007 and my dads a VW Jetta 2.5 2009...

After traveling 1500km, it was dirty as hell

I respect that you've kept your first car. I reckon it's something many of us would like to do really given the space and perhaps the money, when I sold mine I needed the cash for my next car and had nowhere to store it anyway!

Quite cool seeing a Mini Clubman again though, they get a lot less attention than the usual style of Mini but they definitely have their own charm.

The 1275GT (Clubie bodywork) is really nice, although it has a lot os wind block at high speeds...(Square front is worse than the rounded one).

Yup, the Mini was never the most aerodynamic design as it is!

I always loved the first gen Twingo. It is REALLY CUTE!!!

 

[Caio_Reinhardt]

And it is a very cleaver car...

Can you have one of those in Australia??

 

[Murcie_LP640]

I doubt it; from what I've read the original Twingo wasn't sold in right-hand-drive markets so Australia would have never got it. We don't get the current Twingo either; the Clio and Megané are the only Renault hatches sold here.

But you see, Japan is a Right Hand Drive country as well, but they had Twingos G1 there...

Take a look at these photos from a meeting there:

Nice cars, especially the Mini Clubman which looks very clean and tidy.👍

I like all those supermini's, but the Renault looks way too plastic for me.

Probably there will be another supermini coming!!!

The Audi A1!!!
