Post by Lighty »

I know this isn't strictly the correct section, but thought more folk would see it if posted here.
An interesting little video of two of my favourite cars :D

Your Ami 8 looks great, I've got a liking for those at the moment.

I would like to try a Twizy, Looks like an intriguing concept. Though I dont think it would fit in with my car use, most of my journeys are on roads with a 70mph minimum speed limit.

Both look like excellent fun! :-D

No the Twizy has two seats, one behind the other, like a motorcycle. Two of us go to work in it every day.

Yes our Ami is a very tidy one, and we save it for nice days wherever possible, as you can watch them rust almost :)
We recently did 400 miles in a weekend, down to Kent, was an interesting trip, it will wizz along at 70 reasonably well, seems a lot happier than a 2cv which is a bit rubbish on the motorway .
The Twizy is my favourite car for normal commuting, it adds a whole load of new aspects to driving, such as sounds and smells. With no helmet & windows, you really hear what is going on, and can detect things like under steer etc immediately, my young son has learnt loads about handling from it, and you can beat any car around bends and roundabouts, it is a fab little thing. 52 is it's top speed, so you may find it a bit slow, I can cope with it as I usually only go on a B road where everyone goes at 45 these days, so I don't get as frustrated as when I am in my faster cars.
