    Good wash mitt / drying towel

    I've never used it to blow the leaves, only dry the cars. We have gardeners that take care of the leaves... 🫣:ROFLMAO: EDIT: Gardeners, @photo_ed not included. He lives too far away. :ROFLMAO:

    Good wash mitt / drying towel

    The blower is great for the wheels and getting water out of jambs and tight places. It's even more useful on my Porsche as it gets excess water out of the aero, nooks, and crannies! I just use a drying towel and detailing spray to mop up any left over water. I also use a filtered water system...

    I use a blower, too. 🙂👍

    Good wash mitt / drying towel

    Full disclaimer, the owners behind Yum Cars are friends of mine. I exclusively use their products for all my cleaning and maintenance these days. They aren't the cheapest, but they are good quality products. :) Ed, the drying towel is great. As with general microfibre care, it is best to wash...

    A Rather Pleasant Evening...

    I might suggest that for next year - they certainly have the land, personnel and vehicles for it! :unsure::ROFLMAO: Amazing watching them in action. I've been watching that "Dear God" incident from the 1983 Manx where Ari clipped the wall, got a puncture, and slid the car through that tight...

    A Rather Pleasant Evening...

    To be honest, I only found out about the event a day or so beforehand when I randomly bumped into my mate and his folks whilst driving home to Wales following a trip to the Lake District! I didn't really have time to spread the word nor did I know what to expect. Next year... The family has...

    A Rather Pleasant Evening...

    Get well soon, mate! It was a lovely evening. This is how car meets should be. Chilled, respectful, and full of interesting cars and owners. I can't wait for next year's event! Thanks, Ed! Don't get me wrong, I love modern supercars/hypercars and the spectacle they provide. But this, for me...

    A Rather Pleasant Evening...

    Well, that was a rather pleasant and unexpected surprise... The other night, a friend invited me over to his parents place as they were holding a charity event with a few cars turning up for good measure. The event was to be held on their back lawn and, being fairly local to where I live, I...

    Brand New - 182 CUP front Dampers.

    Ed, I'm interested - I would have been interested in the gaitors, too! Sadly, I am Sachs-less so the 182 Cup items may come in very handy.

    2025 Trophy Calendar - Final details, Price and Order Instructions.

    Thank you, Ed! Incr-Ed-ible. Wonderful. Thank you for your time, expertise, and passion for all things Trophy; which clearly comes through in the production quality of the calendar and associated pack.

    2025 Trophy Calendar - Final details, Price and Order Instructions.

    Ed, I can only agree! It's a fine road, and one that demands respect if you intend to "make progress"... I may have, on occasion, spent an hour or three enjoying the road before partaking in a little afternoon tea at the cafe up high at Loch Katrine, where the paddle steamer come'eth and go'eth...

    Here's a better picture of when I had all three of my "Trophys" at Diamond Motors...! :ROFLMAO:

    Looking for a Trophy

    Just as an aside... having spoken to Mick (Diamond Motors) and a few others, it seems as though the dephaser is getting more difficult to source. In fact, I'm pretty sure he said it is NLA... to the point where one or two specialists have considered offering an additional dephaser refurb. It's...

    Who is Tucked up for Winter vs running daily?!

    Dehumidifier to keep excess moisture in control, on axle stands (unless you plan to roll it out every other week or so), and on a decent trickle charger. That's what I would do if I didn't use my Trophy as the daily hack. I'm not sure you'd need much more than that if it's in a decent garage...

    As a few others have said, I'd be happy to purchase an additional calendar should there be any remaining. Thanks again for doing this. :)

    2025 Trophy Calendar - 20th Anniversary Ltd Edition.

    Yes, please. Hi, @photo_ed / @NickReilly063 - sounds like a great idea. :) Apologies, I've not been around much lately and have much going on, but I am interested. My Trophy is still being regularly hammered and used daily and is as fun as it has always been. I'll have a look as I must have...

    welsh weekender 2024?

    Thanks for the well-wishes, appreciate it. Yeah, a meet/greet and drive would be great. The Trophy membership is spread far and wide so it might only appeal to those closer to the decided location/route but I expect more would be interested in a Weekender next year (or, indeed, a 20-year...

    welsh weekender 2024?

    old = wise (y):ROFLMAO: I think a 20-year celebration event would be a great idea. I'm not sure about the Welsh Weekender though this year. Personally, my health is very bad at the moment to the point where I can't drive some days (not for any great distance at least). Hence, I'm a bit...

    2024 Calender Idea

    I'm sorry I didn't pick up on this thread earlier. Seems a good idea to me! I'm happy for the photos I've taken/appear in to be used. (y) I can dig out the backups and see what I have available if that's agreeable with folks?
