Performance Car Mag - Sept'09 Issue

Jez477 · Aug 24, 2009

Just picked up the latest copy of Performance Car Magazine. It seems they've done an article on "The Finest B-Roads in England" using a Trophy - 7 pages in total with some great shots of the car. Well worth buying a copy.

Cheers,
Jez

Cool. 8)

I bought that too, same car used as in Evo.

The Peak district if I remember correctly Ben.

yep the Trophys really "in vogue" right now...should help the re-sale values

hang on...its the same car from the "evo" shoot, infact it looks like the same jump too....
mmmm fishy... :?:

Yeah, it's in the Peak District.

I think the car (HT05 BZX) is 001 - Renault UK's loaner. I can't remember whether it was Evo or Performance Car, but one of them made mention of it when they used the car in a past feature (earlier this year??).

Considering both Magazines are on the Shelf the little Clio has done well to make to covers 4 years after launch!

It was mentioned at the ill fitting bonnet in the thread in Evo. It looks a better fit in the PC article.

Surprized that Evo did not use Harry's car?

Harry's T is - HT05CCA

Is it just me or do other people think Performance Car is pants compared to EVO or Autocar?

The Trophy feature is 99% about the route they travelled and any referenc to the T is plain boring.

PC " must try harder " 4/10

I've just read the entire article and I wholly agree with their description and evaluation of the A4069, I must take the Trophy on the road from Hutton-le-Hole and if I don't drive through Glen Coe I can safely say my life will never be complete.

No but it has better pictures
