Evening Gents.. Well, in-between the April hail showers and tootling about in a van full of fresh flowers from the farm today, I passed some time rooting about in the 'boys room' and dug out another Trophy specific EVO to offer up For Sale here. It's Issue No. 135 from October 2009 with the...

Bumped into this delight on YouTube, some Clio 16v rally action from back in simpler times, when the world felt a lot less complicated. ( @Titan - you may enjoy this 😀 (y) )

Just before dawn near Dunsop Bridge, morning mist hangs in the air, some gently steaming sheep look on as a little red car cuts a swathe through the landscape. Wishing all a great Easter weekend.

Hi folks, well here we go, as I alluded to on my last EVO mag for sale, I'm offering up a copy of issue #87 for sale from the collection. It's the EVO Car of the Year issue from 2005 and as I photographed it earlier I gave myself a little moment to leaf through and a little reminder of the...

Well the weekend's here and as usual, I've been looking through some stuff, seeing what I can let go to other homes and I have decided to offer up a nice copy of EVO issue #83. It's the renowned 1st Trophy test issue from September 2005, which is becoming pretty rare to find these days (...

One I'd forgotten about! It's been hiding under a pile of books for a couple of weeks, another EVO magazine available from my collections. This one is Issue #200 from October 2014 and features an extensive series of articles as the EVO staff of the time determine their favourite top 20 'EVO'...

By all accounts, the 1st of March marks the meteorological begining of Spring. The weather in my neck of the woods evidently didn't get the memo today... Gave me a good opportunity to fully test the new 'all season' rubber on the van though - with exceptional results. :D

I've been out and about today, a little further afield than normal with a little trip to somewhere in the Midlands. Splashing down a damp M6, I decided by Hilton Park services it was time for a espresso and a stretch of the old legs. Trundling into the carpark, I was delighted to catch a...

Well, after some of our collective flurry of interest in front splitters from France carrying the legendary Ragnotti name. I thought it only right recently to catch up on some of the footage of the great man himself, flinging a selection of Clio's (and R5's) around with his signature exuberant...

Well, after a good few years of having a Fabia splitter adorning the front of #407 and admittedly not being too fussed about it, Mr @NickReilly063 has finally shamed me into thinking I ought to fit a more genuine item. As the car's getting older I feel I ought to keep it a tad more outwardly...

I surprised myself last night by visiting a car manufacturers website and seeking out the car configurator, it suddenly struck me that it's something I haven't had any inclination to do for several years... The reason? Well, I'm blaming Harry Metcalfe for this one, I'd just watched his latest...

Well the weekend's here, which means I've had another opportunity to root through my magazine collections for more Trophy and Renaultsport Clio related issues. So, available to buy this week are firstly; EVO issue #135 - from October 2009 this is the '100 Greatest Cars' issues which of course...

Now I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea.... But there's something I find utterly captivating and mesmerising about the US Drag Racing scene, particularly the week long 'Drag & Drive' events where these lunatics visit a number of drag strips, pulling a little trailer behind their race cars...

A great Rush mag long term write up about the GR Yaris here: https://www.rushmagazine.co.uk/post/toyota-gr-yaris-long-term-review Well worth a read, promise I'm not biased after the mentions of some of my favourite driving roads in the country throughout the article. Also another good point...

Available from my brochure archives! :D I have a copy of the 2004 - '05 Renaultsport Range brochure featuring the Clio 182, Megane & Clio V6. In I'd say very good condition for its age, though not Trophy specific, it is the RS brochure we all picked up in the dealer in period. Always a nice...

Hi all, just collated these three EVO magazines featuring the Trophy into a little forum bundle. last chance now to get these ones before they go onto eBay with the rest of my surplus EVO's already on there.. Issue numbers: #253, 231 and a nice early #091 - 'Fast Club 2006' issue... All...

Another weekend of magazine sorting has unearthed another couple of Trophy specific issues from my collection. First up is a copy of #231 - which features a good number of Renaultsport orientated articles, this copy in good condition as usual, a few very very minor marks on the cover...

A nice little piece from @Craig196 on the costs of keeping a Trophy. https://www.rushmagazine.co.uk/post/counting-the-cost-of-living-with-a-trophy-wife

All the very best to everyone for 2024. Anyone have any exciting plans? Car related or other... My main hope is that we might get a proper holiday in this year, the last time we had any time off longer than a couple of days away was back during my 40th Birthday year, and those who know me...

Just a little note to wish one and all a very Merry Christmas, I hope your stockings may be filled with car parts and a Trophy under the tree! 🎅🎅🎅

After a particularly wild day at work yesterday, it was a delight to discover my copy of 'Rush' on the doorstep during the evening. I chose to savour the opening over a wee nightcap late last night and as I opened the package, the scent of fresh print hit me, there's nothing quite like it and...

Well, the weekend's here, so as a displacement activity to avoid thinking or participating in any Christmas shopping malarky, I've been hiding away in my lair at home doing more magazine sorting and have unearthed further duplicate copies of EVO featuring our beloved Trophy. So here we are, as...

Another little batch of Trophy orientated magazines from the archives up for sale... A couple of nice examples, an old Autocar from 2005 and Modern Classics from 2018. First up the Autocar, August 2005 issue, around the time of the Trophy becoming available in the UK, a very tidy example of...

...and a whole load of fun in the 200 Cup today. Just taking a breather after clicking over 41k miles on a cross Pennine blast today. The Cup out of storage for a few days for annual service, MOT and new brakes fitted, then it's back off to snooze until Spring. I couldn't help but smile...

… and thought of you @NickReilly063 . :)(y) https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/wc23/the-white-collection/lots/r0032-1987-porsche-944-turbo-cup/1397624/photos

I'm just in the process of popping some of the issues of EVO magazine which I've accrued over the years which are now duplicates in my collection onto eBay. However, I thought I'd put any Trophy Specific issues up here on the forum first, for forum members to get 1st dibs (at a slightly reduced...

Nice Trophy mention from the lovely Neil Clifford on this Collecting Cars podcast from a few weeks ago in their '2 Car Garage' section. About the 49 minute mark in the vid:
