- 1994 Winter, John Hartley, “Twoccing and joyreading”, in Terence Hawkes, editor, Textual Practice, volume 8, number 3, page 2:
- Twoccing (of cars or writings) is not a glamorous crime of cultural politics or personal passion, not epic or heroic; it's a routine, low grade, show-off offence, and as such it cannot be romanticized as a form of consumer resistance.
- 2024 May 27, jamieliddellthepoet, “Took this in my neighborhood today.”, in reddit[1], r/london:
- Not sure admitting to twocking is a great idea, even on Reddit - but I’m happy for you. Fun little motor. Enjoy it while you can.
