I've sold my Trophy, but still have the all weather cover which I used a few times. It is fitted to the Clio, and comes with a sock for the aerial which I never bothered to put on. It is in as new condition, and cost £311 from Vertar. Open to offers, obviously not of any use to me any...

On second thought... It's just too much fun to sell. I'm going to get rid of our people mover instead. What a great car. (Needless to say I just got back from a terrific blast.) So I'm not going anywhere for now. Best, Robert

While I love driving the Trophy, the time has come for us to part ways. I'm selling to make way for a bike. I figured I'd post here first, then Pistonheads and AutoTrader. This Trophy has 2990 miles, and is completely original and in better condition then when I bought it. The mileage is...

It would be interesting to see RR output before and after to see if there are any gains. The other issue would be whether the check engine light will be on all of the time or not. Still if there are gains, that's a great price. -robert

We sure do.

I wash every Sunday, and wax every third. (Roughly, depending on useage and my wife's level of complaining that I spend too much time on the car.)

Well, I have the sticker on my car, and if I run into any owners not on the list, I'll let them know about it. Maybe when we do have a gathering we could tell the good folks at Renault and ask them if they could tell the balance of owners. This way they would not have to give the list out...

I guess this question is mostly for Nik... I was thinking it would be really nice to try and get as many of the Trophy owners as possible to join the forum. I assume that a lot of these owners are not aware that it exists. (I, like many, found out from CS.) I don't think you would buy a...

I've crossed on Speed Ferries about 20 times and have never had a problem. Not a scratch on any car, or anything else. They seem to be pretty careful with placing cars. Even though, depending on where you get parked, it can be a bit of a squeeze. Maybe it's just my experience with them, but...

I always take Speed Ferries to Bologne. It's about 25 quid, takes 50 minutes, and it's very easy to get from Bologne to Normandy. At the ferry terminal they sell the plastic bits for the lights, but note that putting them on a clio is non-intuitive. They go upside down and not where you...

Hi Oliie, Yes, we could meet up and go for a cruise out west. I find the best part about living in London, but close to the westway, is that you can get out onto b-roads so quickly. Yesterday I spent three hours hammering around Hertfordshire. I do have a garage. I need to reconfigure...

Anyone think we could do a group buy of carbon splitters? Maybe the week before Christmas is not the best time for it... Also, if anyone replaces the front splitter, have they considered using tamper resistant screws to fasten? This might stop the splitter from being removed while you're...

Oliie, That's great to hear. I bought mine at SMC Renault in Guildford. They have also been very helpful, but as I live near paddington, Renault West is very easy to get to. My car had been pre-registered and used by Renault as a show car of sorts. When I picked it up it had a few issues...

I have an idea...let's ignore the garbage. Rather than ban it, let's all agree to ignore it. I think that would be rather sensible. This was we can all concentrate on discussing a really great car and not be bothered by these inane and pointless rumbleings.

Hi Oliie, The move was due to a number of factors, including wanting to have a back seat! (This was one of my wife's issues more than mine.) The Clio is much easier to live with. It is significantly easier to get in and out of, and people don't stare at you when you drive down the street...
