Altrincham / M56 - Yesterday approx 8.30am

[Stevie]

I went past you and gave me a wave.

Are you on here? Your car looked nice and clean!

 

[Jimcredible]

Alright Steve,

That was me in 002, heading up to Manchester Airport - It was nice to see another Trophy out there!

I've had it since January but haven't got round to posting anything on here yet. I'll give you all an update very soon…

Cheers,
Jim

 

[Stevie]

Ah great! Yeh you don't see many around.

I saw you again today in the same place, infact seen you a few times going in the opposite direction.

Hope you are enjoying 002!

 

[Jimcredible]

I absolutely adore it, but plan to take it off the road over winter. I've been travelling up to Manchester for the past 3 weeks and want to keep the miles down / keep it clean etc. I don't want 002 to become a different kind of number 2

BTW do any of you Trophy owners meet up? I believe there are quite a few in the Midlands.

 

[Gambit]

Newbie question I know but why do people take cars off the road in winter ?

 

[Mikeyjp]

keep them mint ?

mines a daily driver, i change my wheels in the winter

Great stuff, they are superb little cars!

There is normally an annual meet down south but there doesn't tend to be many others. I'd be up for one though if it ever gets organised.

 

[Jimcredible]

Well how about a drive over to Buxton or North Wales one weekend? It'd be good to see a few Trophies together! Anyone interested?

 

[Retro74]

Hi Jim, where did you get 002 from? I seem to remember this one having an interesting backstory

 

[Jimcredible]

Hi there, I bought 002 from a Renault dealer called Madeley Heath Motors, near Newcastle under Lyme last January for 5k. I plan to do a proper write up on the owners registry in the next few days. I should've done it months ago but I've been a bit lazy!

I would be up for this Jim.

 

[Jimcredible]

Nice one Steve!

How about Sunday the 16th in either Betws-y-coed or Buxton?

Anyone else up for this?

 

[Claude]

Definitely up for it, but spring next year - my T is off the road for winter

 

[Jimcredible]

That's the spirit Claude! How about one last time this year though?

 

[Claude]

No can do, Jim, sorry.

A handful of Trophys on the fantastic roads of North Wales would be a great sight though.

See you next year hopefully!

 

[Jimcredible]

Okay Claude, see you when you come out of hibernation!
