6ish this morning,turning right at the lights on the bypass heading towards town. Still miss 196 :(

I had hoped it wouldn't come to this but due to work going tits up - redundancies, hours being cut etc etc, my beloved Trophy is going up for sale. Anyway enough of the sob story and a bit about the car: 2005 / 05 reg I'm the second owner - I bought it at 5 months old with 1800 miles on the...

Apart from the odd one or two hooning around the midlands on Sunday afternoon :), did anyone heading back up the M6 spot the Trophy heading south at 4.30ish? Why weren't you at the meet?!!

05 plate driving through Congleton at around 3.00pm Sunday. I was in the White Lion - spotted you going past the town hall. Don't think I've seen this one before.

As 196 is coming up to the annual Permagard top-up I thought I'd get the stone chips and the tiny dent on the bonnet sorted before getting the treatment done. Has anybody used Chips Away - if yes - good or bad reports? Cheers

All bar three of my wheel nuts have started to rust!! Anybody else had this problem? It looks a total mess - surely they shouldn't be doing this after only three years?!!

Popped to the newsagents yesterday morning. As I was about to pull away a mate of mine's wife walks around the corner with their dog. I wind the window down to say hello,the dog recognises me,breaks into a sprint (it's a greyhound, so pretty fast) then tries to jump through the window, misses...

Yesterday on the outdoor carpark around 1ish

Saturday, around 12ish. I waved but you wouldn't have spotted me as I was in my Mothers banged up old Volvo estate taking the parents to the airport - there's not enough room in the Trophy for all my mothers suitcases!!

Bored senseless at work today - came across this little ditty while surfing!! http://www.rackandopinion.com/2008/02/r ... rophy.html

As 196 won't be going anywhere near a track and I'm not really into "modding" I was planning on leaving everything standard (apart from the Permegard). However after seeing various 182's with aftermarket exhausts and thinking what a difference a proper pair of tail pipes makes to the backend...

Heading up Canal Street at around 12.15 yesterday afternoon.

Took 196 in to have the water leak fixed under warranty last week. Three days later got the car back - leak fixed ok. However she's come back with more wrong than when she went in!! They've scratched the the plastic strip inside the passenger door sill - which they are denying!! There's now...

Noticed the car seemed to steaming up over the last week or so - didn't think too much of it because of all the wet weather. Just gone to give the mats a bit of a clean and discovered a puddle under the mat in the pasenger footwell!! Booked in at the stealers for a water check next week, they...

Friday night about 7.45 near to the hospital. Would have waved but didn't spot you until you'd just gone past me - daydreaming as usual!

Very happy smiley young lady,waved as you turned onto Sandbach Road. Sorry if I was a bit slow waving back - I was in a post work trance!

Private reg, around 4.30pm - rather attractive blonde driving!! Reversing out of The Farmers Arms car park. Not seen this one before - do we have a replacement for nickb's to keep the Congleton Trophy club at 3 members?

Parked outside blockbusters about 4.30pm yesterday.

It's trees 2 cars nil on our works car park!! Glad I park 196 well away from the trees!!

You came out of the turning just before Wall Hill bend. I was going to pull in at the lay-by for a chat but you turned off at Bent Farm quarry.

Nick Was that your motor on Morrisons car park 5.30ish yesterday evening?

With me being a lazy so and so and not having a clue about polishing cars I've been phoning round a few places trying to find someone to do it for me. Found a place in Stoke that's offering a full valet,polish andl Diamond brite treatment half price - is this Diamond brite stuff any good? Looked...

Took the Trophy out for her first blast on Saturday and even though the roads were a bit greasy had great fun around the Derbyshire hills. One thing that stood out apart from the handling was that the engine seemed to be a lot stronger than the one in my old 182 cup - It seemed to pull a lot...
