Very nicely put Salem. The above pictures only go to echo the thoughts of many of us. Thanks for sharing with us Jonc - it's good that you came away from it with only dented pride.

.....ears.... Yes I do, very uncomfortable... :lol:

Must be those nice smooth roundabouts at either end, they're quite technical :lol: :lol: :lol:

ROFL!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I have had to cut my hours short - Ran it by Clause and he gave me the ok for moonlighting shifts instead.. Helps as the elf garments don't fit as well as they used to..

Absolutely - Merry Christmas one and all!!! :D This year however I shall be working more than I would like to.. Next year I need to have found a new job by Christmas!!!!!

At least £120 I think but if it's your passenger mirror and you can source a cover, I can sell you the black base and mirror housing.. Actually not sure whether the glass on my spare is broken or not. Let me know...

Hopefully not.. Street racing's not cool, save fast/spirited driving for tracks/airfields/country lanes.

Nik, your time, energies and funds are very much appreciated. A huge thank you for keeping the most friendly rs forum up and running. I wonder if perhaps we could all contribute a little something to help out???

Ouch!!!! No wonder you're not a happy bunny (sorry couldn't resist the pun) 154 was almost wearing a crazy fox at 1am this morning - luckily he thought better of running into the road and got out of my way just in time - animals eh!

As per gazza, I bought a trophy mirror from cit-ren, I'm sure they said it was in good condition and yet when it arrived it had so e scrathes gouged into it - poor show. Thankfully they were minimal so I put up with them until I had my bumper sprayed...

I believe Evans Cycles do the cycle to work scheme.. Can you not have it delivered by them? :)

Hey impressive! I know what you mean about thighs and trousers - I've been there - nightmare!!! That aside - now I know you have a bike.. Assuming you can be swayed into the suggested Wales meet next year - there are no excuses for not doing BOTH the driving and the biking!! Same goes for...

Ahhh yes, d'oh, sorry!!! #-o One of the guys at work had a merida - really loved it! Hey 5000 miles a year is good going! I note you say 'was'.. take it that has decreased somewhat now....? Was it on or off road or both?

Marin - another good maker, although I always viewed them as being quite pricey for their specs. How much does it get used? - I bet it does more miles than the Trophy?? :lol:

Thanks Ben :D It is light and it's lovely to ride, especially since I got a nice short stem for it - it's so chuckable. Upgrading to discs this year was the final garnish on a really pleasing steed. I have to say that the stiffness can get too much - they say it's one of the stiffest rear...

I ride a bespoke machine, comprised of a Tomac Taos Frame, Rockshox Duke Race forks, Spinergy Xcyclone disc wheels (black rims, white spokes - yummy!), full XT and a few carbon goodies... If I only I lived up in the lakes too - such a fabulous place to ride - the views were just gorgeous...

Another ks fan - cool!! I saw them in the early part of the yr at shepherds bush - they were awesome as ever - felt very nostalgic! They have another album coming but I believe it's been delayed?

more people might be interested if you gave a price...

Some seriously heavy material chaps! ...I'm just rekindling my appreciation for the Bluetones... Am off to see them on the 19th - rather looking forward to that - they're such a feel good band. Also, Kula Shaker have made a return and their release this year; Strange Folk is excellent! Haven't...

that is one seriously clean looking car julz. Very nice indeed. Two garage queens to your name now eh! :lol:

Good location for a shot - very nostalgic. I have masses of pics of the French Brealfast Run that they held there the summer before last - group of 10 Trophies on a grid looked great :) Weather wasn't as good as you had though. I like the group shot from the high vantage point.

Looks like Goodwood? I've wanted a fisheye to play with for sometime, although from the samples you've shown, it doesn't do much for the cars.. Trophy looks nice - the colour comes out really well in the second photo :D

I echo ben's thoughts - get the rockhopper- at least that way you have the option to run slick/semi slick tyres and use it as a road bike and then stick nobblies back on for roughing it off road. Plus you can join us sometime next spring for the proposed Wales meet Inc mountain biking :D

If you search the forum, we found covers for the recaros. Quite expensive though.. I have considered them but they'd rarely be used as it's unusual for me to use the trophy to get to a biking destination...

*Shudder* (sick) That's what comes of trying to drive the car out of the garage without sitting in it, eh :wink:

grrr, I just typed out a reply and accidentally closed my browser..!!! So to answer hoolio's question - it's very simple. The glass is clamped around a circular baseplate. Removal is simply a case of gradually prising it off - don't be afraid to give it a little force, it comes off eventually...

Correct hoolio - that's what I found when I looked for a replacement.. In the end, it was far cheaper to go through cit-ren, although the unit that they supplied me had some scratches which I initially planned to sort out myself, but subsequently had done along with my bumper respray in the summer..

LOL @ Renault with your car coming up as left hand drive - legends! Feel sympathy for you mate - I know exactly how you feel.. Seems that no matter how nice an area you live in, there's still every chance that a random lowlife may pay a visit..

Great to have another member - update the thread for this car in the owners section and get your owner's stars :D - Enjoy the car when you collect it!

Very wise! #-o
