I have owned this car from new and still have the original bill of sale and receipt. No modifications whatsoever (no stickers, painted calipers etc). Oh - it has an iPod connection if that counts as a 'mod'. All original. FSH. Mot & Tax. 52,000 miles. Immaculate condition. 4 x Michelin PE2...
Ah - yes, well I've - erm - 'outsourced' my car cleaning to the poor/elderly/very young. Basically anyone vulnerable enough to do it for a couple of Werthers Originals. And a very good job they do too.
Any ideas where I can dispose of a neighbour's body?
Wings are plastic??? I didn't know; the other ding's on the door then cos there's definitely 2 on the sides. Scratch is quite deep; you can feel it and possibly even goes down to the metal...
No 425 (or is it 475? Where's the Trophy register link gone? It's too cold to go outside and check) has done 20k miles and at some point has acquired 2 'dings' due to ignorant, thoughtless, slack-jawed (and probably jealous) eejits opening car doors against it (one on front wing, one on rear...
|I've suffered three punctures. All of which required a new tyre. And in each case the Michelin PE2 needed to be ordered - so my 'baby' was off the road until the new tyre arrived. Pain in the ass, but looking at the other tyre related forums it seems that this is the only tyre for the Trophy...
Surely it's about the driving experience? Personally I dont like the Clio looks wise - its horrible. And given the choice I wouldn't buy a red car. S'just not me. But I LOVE my trophy more than you can possibly umagine. If you really want the experience, I guess you get an RS 182 and buy 1)...
Standard too; if your plans involve selling the thing in the future then its best to leave it as new I reckon; why would you want to change - the balance is perfect.
And I got a speeding ticket too, my first ever - 85 mph though so only 3 points & £60 - let us know how you get on in court...
Oh. Well, no problems here; cost £200. And they did put the right oil in...
AND they had a 197 round the back - it was blue - not it's best colour I reckon but that diffuser looks the cojones.
And Mike - I think you need to index your website - it doesn't show on google even if you type...
?
Cheers Day but...
Need more words... google 'rentech' says where I can find the 'world's leading developers of Fischer-Tropsch coal-to-liquids and gas-to-liquids technologies'...
It's that time - have just passed 12k miles and it's due a service. Have booked it in with Masters of Shirley near Croydon - they reckon about 150 notes. Although I live in Brighton I'm going there because a) they're really nice people and b) I took 425 to the local Brighton dealer to get some...
Read an article in EVO - they reckon that BP Ultimate is significantly better than Optimax. I've never used Optimax in the Clio, but I can testify that BP Ultimate is much better than 'cooking' petrol. (EVO were also dead sceptical about supermarket fuel - cos you never know which brand you're...
cb - Not made any mods to mine. I'm going to keep it stock though - as close to showroom condition as possible - speaking from experience - my last motor was a 106 Rallye which had been slightly modded (3 inch wanker pipe and induction kit plus piss poor front end respray) but what I gathered...
Nope - not me dude (I'm a 55 plate). It must be the mythical 3rd Brighton Trophy. Am based in Kemptown dead near Gala Bingo - I'm on the 'Member Map' but sometimes it puts me on Grand Parade. However, I spend a lot of time in Crawley (where me better half lives) rubbing shoulders with 'tricked...
Mr badger - was it you I saw pulling onto Stanford Avenue (the London Road one way system towards Preston Circus from Preston Park) a few weeks back? You waved at me and I tried to flash back, but every time I see a Trophy I'm so surprised and pleased I forget what all the buttons and stalks do!!!
