I’m looking forward to play with this.

Great pick!

The Twingo was very polarising at Renault in its day. It was a fresh air through the make’s boring boxy designs of the day and it can be had with a fully opening roof (not a convertible).

They may well give off the same vibe in 20 years as the 2cv does today. A more modern body and suspension with a happy face but less impressive history. They are not considered memorable today but I wouldn’t mind seeing them around on oldtimer shows.

Given the tiny engine, I suspect fuel consumption will be ok and it may thus be converted a few years down the line when it is cheaper.

Was hoping to see more discussion here. When I maintain them, which I don’t do enough, I tend to go to a site depending on the make.

Mercedes seems to have great part service in house, for Citroen and Porsche I use an aftermarket reseller (online), for the MX5 NA there are lots of online options (even Ebay).

I have sourced second-hand parts but it takes a long time.

Common things, like batteries or generic tools, I source in local shops. It’s globally produced but they can give good advice on battery chargers and the likes, plus we all know we should buy locally when we can.

I used to order motorcycle parts from Great Brittain, but with Brexit I’ve completely stopped that. I have not found good alternatives there.

Water also needs a substantial amount of energy to evaporate, hence it will sip some heat from the environment around it when it evaporates. Combined with the good thermal conductivity of steel, the bridge cools off.

You get a similar effect when walking out of a hot shower. The hot water evaporates and cools you down.

Belgian here. It’s about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders’ wealth first.

Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.

Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.

Nice script. What is the reason to toggle the brightness?
