Man, I want a Renault Twingo plushie
PetrolBlog goes underground more often than Paul Weller, but if you’d said to me that the first post after a five-month break would be focused on a Renault Twingo plushie, I’d have choked on my Blue Nun.
But let’s face it, there’s not enough joy in the world right now. Britain hasn’t been this divided since Blur went head-to-head with Oasis. Fewer people seem capable of reasoned debate without the aid of a milkshake. And Citroën has removed the Airbumps from the C4 Cactus.
They called it plushie love
Maybe I’m a little out of touch, but I had no idea you could buy a Renault Twingo plushie. Not until
“No other car is this well suited to turn even cuter and softer” than the Mk1 Renault Twingo, says
Judging by the About Us section on the company website, the two guys behind the company appear to have a sense of humour, which kinda helps when you spend your time producing soft versions of iconic cars in a basement.
Speaking of which, you can also buy MX-5 and Fiat 500 plushies, although neither is as cute and adorable as the Twingo, obviously.
Crash test plushie
That point about a sense of humour? Where else are you going to find a Renault Twingo plushie being subjected to a Euro NCAP crash test?
You can buy a Renault Twingo ‘Harlequin‘, which is far more appealing than it sounds, although, at £19.92, it’s £4.80 more expensive than the solid colours.
The guys at Autoplush haven’t contacted me to promote their business or to mention the Twingo plushie. This blog post isn’t the result of the countless ‘Dear PetrolBlog, we love your content, please post this for us’ requests PB receives on a daily basis.
It’s just that the world needs more things like the Twingo plushie, and it’s quite clear that, much like Nathan Jones, PetrolBlog has been gone too long. So this is a deliberately soft re-launch while the website gets back into gear.
Soft? Plushie? Geddit?
Never mind. Buy a Renault Twingo plushie, make the world a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race.

Welcome Back!
What other cars do you think would go well being Plushied?
I Can’t Imagine a Lotus elite 503 or AC 3000ME would work very well
but what about a Renault Fuego?
Did you hear about the Matra Bagheera in Top Gear? I am very worried
A Bronze Consul GT as used by Inspector Regan……
The sheer irony of it would be a great conversation starter.
You know – know! – there is at least one kid out there, somewhere, who will not settle down and go to sleep for the night without his Renault Twingo plushie clutched tightly in his or her arms. Actually, that kid may not even be regarded under the Law as a kid anymore….
