I think I have chosen EXACTLY the wrong time to sell mine, it's nuts. Have you posted on CS with that price Gareth? Expect a fountain of ignorant, speculative turd to fly your way!

Thanks Cue I know but don't really mind, i just pasted it from my thread on here. I'd just like to say that I posted a link to the site on ClioSport just now as I thought why not, and I'd almost forgotten what a crop of ignorant fuckpigs there are on there, I got a tirade of abuse about it...

Excellent, if my Emily found out you got pasted by a New Beetle (Even an R32 engined track monster) I would never hear the end of it, I won't let her buy one because they're so rubbish! Gutted I never took XOG on track, never known the car at it's best!

I'd rather a DC5 than the JDM Civic, or even a DC2... :D I love the R26, but it's not really my sort of car, I think I've done enough French cars for the moment and it's WAAAAAAYYYY too expensive for me!

Price dropped to £10,250 and now on pistonheads; http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/197013.htm

What we need is another EVO article comparing it against the modern hatches, see the demand soar then.

I can't believe there aren't more people out there who won't part with £10K for one of the best driver's cars made in recent years that's still under warranty and in mint condition. It's crazy!

So Trophys are now fetching no more than Cups?

Yours is similar to mine rojer, I'm glad you're in Scotland as we're not direct competition.

Yeh, the guy was a loon, it was a busy autoroute too, and the French like to change lanes with little or no notice. If he had to brake hard I dread to think what would happen, stopping distance of a mile or so. Holiday was fantastic thanks Luke, no Orbisoud factory, see FOR SALE post! Albi...

Yes, the unthinkable is happening, I'm buying a flat as some of you know and the second love of my life is up for sale. Everyone who's seen this car knows that this is silly money but it's going to Steve at allvehicles at the start of next week so it will go to a lucky new owner for slightly...

umm...as I've just posted on Aah Sanity thread, it seems the substandard design and cheap manafacture of interior trim components is not covered by the warranty either.

It's so obvious to me now that they obviously had more cheapo stalks to use up. I suppose the better ones are more useful in the parts department so they decided to keep those. I've just had to replace the gear gaiter as the original literally fell apart driving through France, this wasn't...

A 200bhp Trophy with an LSD would make a pretty unbeatable FWD track machine.

Discuss.

Nice one Olly, when are you going to take me for a spin? I'm only still speaking to you because it's an R26! On the cattle grids - they're much better taken at speed, the wheels don't have time to drop into each gap, trust me, next time you're on a B road blast, take one at 60 or 70, just...

Road Angel + Safe plate = Fun Welcome to the forum (and Trophy ownership) monstu. Lots of fun roads in our neck of the woods.

Can't imagine not having the variable setting now, there's no way I would have endured the 700 mile drive home yesterday through every type of rain imaginable without it. The relay clicking is so French, even the indicator sounds like one, drives me nuts.

0-100 time is a bit more than 12! More like 15, but still bloody quick for a Clio. Saw a lovely Blue one in Albi, France, looked even cooler with a French plate. Good Luck with the Sale

It's not so bad if you remember to not bother with fifth gear until you're over 120. As said though, it's not the 182's forte, acceleration is all about power/weight until you start fighting the air, top speed is all about power and Cd (gear ratios are also important), so a car with 145bhp ATW...

RALLY!

I'm pretty happy with it but first impressions are important and it still feels slightly too small. It also, quite obviously, gets bloody hot when left in direct sunlight, but if you 'take the pain' it soons transfers it's heat to your hand as aluminium has a low specific heat capacity, just a...

Nice pics Day, didn't know you had a Phase 1, I'm sure you had a dark blue Phase 2 at the rolling road thing. Who copied who with the red callipers then? Looks great on both cars, now where's my brush...

Done. Sorted out your spelling and added a necessary final comment too. :lol: Good Luck Chief, don't forget my test drive when I get back from France.

As Ollie P (there are way too many Olivers owning Trophy's) said in his post on the 199 thread, it's not his car, the seller used his pictures from Autotrader - very naughty, not to mention a breach of eBay rules.

I'm glad to hear that Steve but a reliable 4.7 0-60 time out of a Trophy might involve ruining the character of the car. I like the VX Turbo because it's a true giant-slayer, Ferrari 355 acceleration (possibly quicker on track too) but Vectra price tag. What I don't like is the badge and the...

Thanks George, still confused as to why they don't mention ANYWHERE in their site that their figures are at the wheels (or more accurately at the hubs) and the manafacturer claims are at the flywheel. I'm surprised the their findings aren't a fair bit lower than they are considering the losses...

Good for him, VX220 Turbo is a worthy replacement. Hope he gets what it's worth.

I think ollie knows what he's doing, it will probably run to £9.5-£10K by the end of the auction. I've e-mailed him to ask what he's doing, and also Steve C to tell him to buy it!

David, can you take me as your partner? I don't mind wearing a dress (as long as it's not too short, I want to keep some dignity).
