You’re a family man. You’re used to chugging around in a variety of wagons. Your automotive lot is transporting the nippers around betwitxt football training, school and ballet classes. You fantasise every now and then about the joys of irresponsibility as encoded in a mad little motor.
And every now and then, behind the wheel of the Meriva, you mind-drive a Renault 5 Turbo like this:

I had 2 Renualt 5 Turbos when I was in my early 20’s best cars I ever owned bar none, can still cut it today with many modern hot hatches.
Turned to motorbikes now I’m in my 40’s and never looked back, but if Renualt ever brought out a modern small Turbo hatchback I would buy one in an instant!
Did someone say Twingo GT?
Handeling in these things was leathal unless you knew what you were doing! Still an awsome little car,where have they all gone?
There are always a fair contingent at the French Car Show, though,it seems
to me, at least, slightly fewer each year.
To be pedantic I am pretty sure the actual name was the Renault 5 Turbo 2.
