    Forum Conduct

    Got back into the country on Monday, log in here the day after and read the piece about forum conduct, now we all know whats behind that - now maybe im thick but dealing with the problem rather than the effect would be a better idea?

    What Renault could have done with the Trophy.

    I appreciate as much as anyone that the Trophy is a great hot hatch, but if anything, what would you liked to have seen the Trophy released with? For me it is more power! I was really hoping that Renault were going to release a Clio with the Meggy 225 engine in it, failing that I was hoping...

    ECOTY - Evo Car of the Year Competition review inc Trophy

    Evo 87 dropped through the letter box this morning; this could be an interesting read I mused... Very good read it is too; some criticism of for example interior quality and the relationship of second and third gear, which didn't strike me as overly critical, but also 'one or two' ;-) good...

    The king is dead long live the king

    Looks like the Trophy reign as 'king' of the modern hatches is going to be pretty short. New Focus St looks like a bit of a beast. And at 17.5k you cant really give the old arguement of it being aimed at a different market. Its only 2.5k more expensive, and the same sort of price as the...

    Could we have a section where all the posts which eventually turn into Trophy vs Williams can be placed. And then ignored.

    Can someone do me a favour?

    Jack up your trophy on the front sill and whack an axle stand under the car on the chassis. Then open the door on the side where the car is jacked up. Does it close and open without propblem or is the door now out of line and the catch catches on closing the door?
