I'm thinking of entering the fold again next year. Ever since I sold the Trophy my wife has been whining at me. She never really got on with the R26 and she can't even get the handbrake on or off on the TVR, so thinking a Trophy might have to come back my way!! I'm not getting rid of the Trevor...

Steve, I'm liking that very much. There could well be a couple of them in Brighton in that case!!! It might be a bit less leaky than the Trevor!!! (Still hasn't broken yet!!! Touch wood. . . .) :wink:

How come you all want an R26 and nobody's bought mine yet!

You're on the right track (scuse the pun). You can have great fun in the R26, but very rarely at legal speeds. The great thing about the trophy is how much fun you could have without breaking the speed limit (much!) The R26 is a fantastic way of covering ground, and will go from A to B quicker...

Having now owned both a Trophy and an R26, I have come to realise that it's the little things on the Trophy that make it so special. Without a doubt, the R26 is quicker (especially when mapped) in every situation, but that doesn't make it better. I have been mightily impressed with the R26 and...

mine's still up for grabs! pm me if you're interested.

Whenever you like my friend! I'm picking it up tomorrow morning. Drop me a text and let me know when you're free!!

Anyone interested in the Meggy? It's going to be traded in otherwise so feel free to make me an offer. Very happy to take anyone out for a spin and show you just how blummin quick it is!!! :D

Thought I could rely on you to have had one at some stage Mat! I've got a 98' model, so no cooling problems and i've bought it from Fernhurst TVR in Surrey. They seem to have a very good rep and were very useful with advice. It's been pampered and immaculately maintained by the previous (1)...

Oh, and if anyone wants an R26 with less than 3000 miles on the clock reg June 07 then let me know! It's only going to the garage otherwise, so make me an offer over £15k if you want it!

Well, it hasn't been long in my hands and already I've decided that it's time to be a bit braver! I got married a couple a months ago as many of you know, and bought the R26 to replace my beloved Trophy #185. Having realised that I've probably only got a couple of years left to be utterly...

My DS2500's made a hell of a row when they were first fitted (Steve and I had them done at the same time with new Brembo's as well) and Steve's were pretty bad too from what I remember. They get better though, and you can solve most of the problems with copious amounts of copper grease behind...

Yup, best not to buy it!!!

Very nicely thanks Steve! Just got back from Honeymoon so tanned and happy! Have also got a serious hankering for an E39 M5 at the mo, so the R26 might be moving on sooner than planned!!! :D

Don't bother getting a quote from Greenlight online. Give them a call and they will sort your quote out properly. I'm now paying just under £470 with 4yrs no claims aged 25 (well 26 now, but 25 when I took the policy) on an R26. My Trophy was £570 aged 24 with 3 yrs ncb. If they really do...

Steve, great to finally meet you the other night! The Exige looked stunning. Wish I had the cash for a weekend toy. It would definitely be at the top of the agenda!!

Unfortunately I'm back at work for a week before we go. It's my cousins wedding next Saturday, so we've got to stick around for that!! Pic of us both on the day:

Cheers for the support chaps. Had an absolutely fantastic day yesterday, loved every second of it. Feel like an incredibly lucky man. Will get some pics up as soon as they're through. Olls :D

Hey chaps and chapesses. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm getting married tomorrow, so wish me the best of luck!!! I'm just a teensy bit crapping it!!! Olls P.s. pic of the missus

Love it Nik, good choice matey. Only thing I'd say is get that Clio badge of the back. Will make it look a lot smoother IMO. They come off very easily with a little bit of patience and care!!!

Deuce Bigalow test . . . scrotum licker piss face Shit whore!!!

Not so much a spot as a chat but great to see a Trophy go past whilst enjoying a rainy outside pint!! Niceto meet you Rich, car was looking great :D

Nice choice buddy. What colour R26 are you going for?

Tax = Road Fund License

Great post Steve. Looks like you're enjoying the road up to the Dyke as well! Have you swapped the exhaust's over yet or are you now too deaf to notice it?!

Should have bought it earlier buddy!!! I would much prefer to have sold it to someone who I knew would love it. It also had the pins removed from the front dampers but I didn't tell the garage this!!

And that's why we get on Steve!! Perfect reposte to all the chumps on CS.

Yup, sounds like me! Don't think anyone else had a rentech sticker. I ended up finding my way over to the rolling road (i'm not sure what happened!) and was very impressed with the figures the meg was putting out. Seeing as it was just on 850 miles at the time, the stats came out as 227bhp...

Yup, same as mine but it doesn't have the Xenons. The trophy's a fair bit cheaper though!! buy the R26, you'll love it! :D

Back on topic - slightly - The R26 will be at FCS this weekend with me and Steve looking probably worse for ware so if anyone wants to go for a spin then come and shout. :D
