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!

    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.
