Nice couple of Porkers.
Is that Chi's old ITB'd Trophy?

I'm hoping to put a few miles on my Trophy over the winter so that it's ready for a pasting come spring time

Yes this is chi's old car

such a great car! Bit of tidying up over the winter for this one

it's been used all summer haha

Are the Porsches and Ferraris yours, too?

I thought I recognised the ITB'd beast! It's a good, solid car. I remember him putting it up for sale and being very tempted to buy another Trophy! I couldn't really justify it though and my better half would have probably throttled me. Mind you, she was interested in one of his modified Mazda MPS's :tongueout:

What are the plans for the T whilst it's off the road for winter?

I wish they were mate, there not :smile:.

haha yeah its such a great car, i know the feeling its my second car so only use it on good days, with it being off the road im going to get a few bits done on it. Needs undersealing and being a trophy going to check the state of the dampers although they were recently refurbed. apart from that its small things like tidying up the engine bay and strip , clean and paint calipers. :wink: yeah i know hes selling a red MPS at the moment thats also a good car!

you doing much to yours over the winter sharkyuk?

Sadly I don't think he'll sell the black MPS... unless offered a LOT of money! Mind you, he took the red one up to Scotland on a trip we had a couple of years back and it went like stink!

Over winter I'm hoping to get my Trophy back home mate. It's been away for a long, long time and will be coming back with a few modifications. All I will be doing is running it in and ironing out issues and niggles so that it's all ready to go when the better weather months arrive. Well, that's the plan!

Miller · Dec 1, 2016

Amen to that :grinning:

Trophy is the current daily, thinking this may be its last winter doing just that though as Im sure it would like to be tucked up in the garage instead!

I hate to think what state #165 is in. It's been stood out in all weathers for the last two years without an engine / gearbox and missing various parts

Well you shouldn't have parked it in Liverpool then!

SharkyUK · Dec 5, 2016

Liverpool is great! I'd never leave my car there though... :tonguewink:
