    What's your Trophy mileage?

    :lol: She's too good a catch really although she doesn't like the car much. Hmmm...... Just ticked over 53100 tonight. Keep thinking about selling up and going back to an old 205 turbo diesel or something similar. That may have to be the case later in the year but it will be a hard decision...

    What's your Trophy mileage?

    52,540ish. Got it in October 2009 on 33,700. It's my daily driver, do a work commute at 30 miles a day for 5/6 days a week and then it gets at least 270 put on it every 1/2 weeks seeing the other half.

    Poor economy :(

    I managed 43.2 at the weekend which i'm actually quite proud of! I did my usual M3, M25, A1M route and sat with 58 on the cruise control. Boredom reigned supreme though I was good and didn't speed up. I usually sit between 60 to 70 on the motorways and I get 40-41 so the extra boredom really...

    trophy names

    A mate of mine calls it french crap. Though admittedly that's not just aimed at my car.

    Trophy Owners Professions?????????

    I can imagine the adrenaline rush would be pretty awesome though there'd be constant worry on your part for the safety of the aircraft, would get very tiresome after about a week! Atlantic Airlines are apparently doing a scholarship scheme from Coventry at the moment and I keep umming and...

    Trophy Owners Professions?????????

    I'm a bus driver for Wilts and Dorset, plain and simple. The job is pretty good actually, very good pay and all you have to do is sit on your arse aiming at gaps. I just have to watch out for everyone else being idiots! Off to drive for National Express, (still W&D), as of next week though which...

    Small updates to 243

    Looks great, works pretty well. I'm guessing the RS letters on the side are in the same colour too?

    Small updates to 243

    I have no idea about the K-Tec thing i'm afraid so you're probably right :oops: I like the sound of the colour scheme, pics needed :wink: A CG lock is one reason why im thinking twice about the harnesses, plus the car needs other things at the mo. Another toy of mine has a set of 5...

    Small updates to 243

    Fantastic. I'm loving the attention to detail on your car J333, got any more ideas in the pipeline? Are your top mounts the K-tec or KTR ones? I'd like a pair but i'm trying to justify a set of harnesses at the mo.

    Paint chip removal

    I use Renault's own touch up pen and get really good results with it actually. The paint looks much to light a colour to start with but it dries to be an exact match, to the extent that I quite often find them hard to locate when I want to add the laquer! Had none of the paint come off either...

    View of the Trophy and Corfe Castle.......

    It's a nice pic, fairly decent camera phone? Good roads around there though, the road coming up from Kimmeridge bay is where I had my first tripod experience :D

    Do you wave at other ClioSport drivers?

    I hardly ever see other RS Clios when i'm out in mine, if I do i'm never in a position to wave. The only time so far has been in Stevenage where a guy in a blue V6 waved. I see them all the time while driving the buses though. Another Trophy which keeps eluding me, several 172s and 197s, the...

    How many people use their T properly?

    Wow, thats a decent amount! Thought the 20k a year i'm currently putting on mine was high. Mine's an everyday car (30 miles each weekday and around 270 at the weekend). It doesn't really go much above 4k during the week but usually it gets the cobwebs blown away at least once per tank :wink:

    Small things

    Mine has tints, quite dark on the back too. Can't make up my mind about them to be honest, the only good thing about them is that they cut down glare from headlights/foglights. Not sure if I want them removed or not.

    Damper question time.....

    Ok thanks, will get those checked as well. Will look at everything while the dampers are being serviced.

    Damper question time.....

    As you guys know i've been having some problems with 224 recently, mainly with the nearside front. Found out today that that particular damper has had it. Can push the car down with ease but the drivers side is still fine. I have seen that I should look at getting some other suspension bits...

    Odd noise from the nearside front.

    Sorry guys, checked this a few days ago but didn't get round to posting, all wheel weights are fine and there's nothing that looks like it shouldn't be there or is coming loose. There is more noticable noise coming from that corner though now, and also whenever you turn right you get a loudish...

    Odd noise from the nearside front.

    Still haven't managed to do this :roll: Must though now the good weather's back. The arch liners are fine though a few bolts are needed here and there. There is more noise when it's happening but it's not really like road noise if you see what I mean. More like running over a rumble strip at...

    Odd noise from the nearside front.

    No, must do that tomorrow though as it doesn't often do it i'm assuming they're fine, maybe the wrong weights have been added? I wanted to pop into the dealer today and get them to look at the wheel bearing as that seems to be the most likely thing but like you both say it should do it all the...

    M27-M3 link, about 1545 today

    I'm in the area alot recently but never in quite the right place. Not in the Trophy though, in a bloody great orange learner coach! Run away if you see me!

    Odd noise from the nearside front.

    The brakes are fine, operate normally and it doesn't pull to either side. The steering does go slightly woolly when the vibration kicks in though but that stops when the vibration does. Just the droning continues and the feeling like im running over a small rumble strip if you see what I mean...

    Odd noise from the nearside front.

    Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad. A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...

    A Liquid Yellow Trophy...

    Looks fantastic. You just need the decals now. :wink: Is the 197 wheel slightly smaller than the original?

    What I chopped the Trophy in for

    Looks great! Though white and black? You'll be kept very busy. :wink: Keep the spoiler white, I think it'll look slightly odd from the rear if it's painted. Personal opinion though!

    the picture in the top corner of this forum

    Is that Upottery? Nice place but pretty bumpy and that was in my old Puma! Must have been pretty harsh!. Great video too :) Do you know if they're they still using it for car events?

    How long will you own your Trophy for?

    I'm planning on keeping it for a while but I guess it'll stay until I either need some money for flying or a house or I start to physically need an Exige. =P~

    Clio's at Castle Combe Action Day

    Thought I recognised the reg from somewhere, I didn't go unfortunately but my mates were happy they spotted 1 or 2 there. :) Looks like it was a great day. Must try for next year!

    Tomorrows meet....

    Glad it's not just me, don't think i'll bother judging by tomorrows forecast though i'll admit i'm tempted.

    Rare porsche spotted ....

    They must all be out then, seen quite a few high spec 911s over the last few days. New GT3 RS in white with red wheels was the winner for me! Saw a 356 though might not have been an original one on the M3 on Tuesday along with the new speedster and a few Turbo's. :D
