    Prices! Whats going on?!

    r26r does everything a trophy does bar rear seats but better, can be had for sub 16-17k private. or clio 182 cup, does 99% what a trophy does and its alot cheaper to buy. even my mini gp is a match, it understeers more though but thats to be expected with a car with 215 bhp. it shares the same...

    sold my 200 and heres the replacement

    it has dunlop runflats, i think handling wise the trophy will still be king here, steering is heavier than my 200 but trophy still way better because of hydralic sttering as apposed to power assisted steering. then again the gp weights the same as the trophy or there abouts but has 218 bhp to...

    i want to become a trophy owner again

    theres alot more to it than than that. i regret getting the ff version because i dont really use air con,cruise control, i dont care if the lights come on there own and wipers and have a keycard and press start button. even the dash i dont care that its softer than the cup. all this adds 36kg of...

    i want to become a trophy owner again

    its just a bit big and heavy, its rapid alright but you can feel that extra weight. 200 is very well planted but sometimes i just prefer being on 3 wheels than 4 :D

    i want to become a trophy owner again

    i just miss the small car/big engine combo, they wont make them like this anymore so i just want to snatch a mint trophy in the near future before prices really start to climb. i cant fault my 200 its fantastic but just abit big and heavy, its very grown up and not as fun on the back roads as...

    my trophy will be missed and this is its replacement

    Does anyone know what the weights of a 200 Cup and Trophy are? the trophy i think is 1070kg and clio 200 ff is 1240 and cup 1204kg. i still think the t is better for cross country, my 200 bounces around alot with its cup pack its too stiff but on flat roads i think 200 is better, ive driven 200...

    Gran Turismo 5 - Lets Race!

    i dont like gt5 too much like many have said only 200 premium cars too much tearing in the graphics, the shadows are dreadful and engine sounds are the worst ive heard in a videogame. lotus 111r sounds like a dyson or at high revs a lightsaber. forza 3 is the benchmark now and i never wanted to...

    Ordered a Clio 200

    its nice to know that trophy owners are still considering and getting 200s. they are brilliant cars, had mine for nearly a month and i love it. even treated it to some speedline satin black alloys and cup spoiler. looks awesome
