yeah suppose it was, for some reason I thought 1994 like a mongo.

But you see a few of them about and when I have a nosey they have the diet in em.

Chet used to be a renault franchise, now a rover one.

I assume they can be colm, theres a few uk registered ones about glasgow I see now and again.

hows the 19 scene in denmark then fella ?

Level 6 User Joined: 10 Nov 2005 Posts: 149

lots of 19's here .. mostly 1.4's and mostly hatches, too.. few F-block ones, and very few valvers... i would estimate something like 50 valvers tops in total... usually "car people" (ppl like you and i ;-) import valvers from germany, if we need one, coz normally there arent really any for sale here.. love my valver and will prolly keep it for as long as it'll go..

and as i've mentioned this Twingo, i'll post some pictures of very interesting car, that was made in the same garage (MRC - Medved racing cars) as this twingo.. ..and this is Zastava Fičo with 1000ccm Abarth engine and huge T4 turbo Twisted Evil

. this car have aproximatly 170HP, but its not finished. it still need some fine tuning of MS and ignition and some other components.

There's loads of Twingo's in Majorca.

Random but true.
