    #351 Written off

    Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

    BTB Exhaust & modified cat

    Looking to sell my BTB cat back exhaust (with modified Renault cat). The exhaust is a lovely piece of kit, but just too loud for me. It's been on my Trophy since May last year, I've done about 8k miles with it fitted and it is in excellent condition. I will take some photos of the actual exhaust...

    Aftermarket exhausts - 2.5 inch dia cat back pointless?

    My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

    The ultimate giant killer! Evo magazine

    Ok so there is only a paragraph on the Trophy in the new Evo magazine so probably not worth buying if you're not a regular reader, but they list 6 giant killing road cars which the Trophy tops with a closing comment of "It's our ultimate giant-killer" It's a good day to be a Trophy owner!

    Compton

    No not in LA but the tough streets of Surrey... First Trophy spot I've had for a long, long time now, seem to see less of them on the roads these days. You were approaching the roundabout at the end of the B3000 from Compton as I was crossing the roundabout from Godalming. Would have flashed my...

    The dreaded Aux belt service

    First off, apologies for not being an active forum memebr for quite some time... So I took my Trophy in for it's 36k mile service last week, and had a call from the garage to advise me that I had an oil leak from the cam cover seal and that it did not make any sense to change the aux belt as it...

    Loud creaking from boot area.

    Done a search and I think I may be the first one to report on this! My Trophy has developed a loud creaking from the rear of the car over the past couple of months, I thought it could have been the interior trim in the boot, or the boot lock and rubber stops, but i've tried replicating the...

    Woking - 7:15 this morning.

    Spotted another Trophy in Woking this morning, under the railway bridge on the main road (A320). They were heading towards Guildford, I managed a wave, but I don't think they saw me, or more likely they just ignored me! :cry: :lol: :wink:

    Old School Place, Woking.

    Saw a Trophy drive past my house at around 6pm yesterday, thought someone had nicked mine, but then I remembered I had taken the brave pills and let the ex take mine as her car is in the shop! :lol:

    A good time to sell?!?

    No, not thinking of selling mine...but searched on Autotrader over the weekend, and there are 8 Trophy's for sale this week, what gives? :? I can't think of a worse time to get rid, spring brings the sun, grippy tarmac and dry night time driving, perfect Trophy conditions!

    Spotted a Trophy in the Esso petrol station on Friday night/Saturday morning at 1:30. Was in the girlfriends Williams on a late night munchies mission! Was going to ask about number etc, and say that I have 351 at home, but I am never sure what the reaction will be so I wimped out! :lol:

    Privilege - Number 1 for Trophy insurance!?!

    Following on for the recent insurance thread, I was with Bell Direct last year, and paid £686, I search around for the best quote each year and at the time this was the cheapest quote. They sent me my renewal premium for this year and it had gone up to £720! So I did a bit of searching...

    Puncture repaired tyre on a trackday - is it safe?

    Got a puncture repair in one of my tyres, and I am not sure whether or not to trust the repair on track? The tyre place that fitted said that they are rated to 220mph and it should therefore be fine on track, but I'm worried that the increased heat and pressure and the increased movement in the...

    Mangled jacking points!

    Helped my mate change his oil on his Teggy Type R recently, and we could not find anywhere decent under the car to jack up from, so using a trolley jack, we jacked up using the jacking points, and everything went fine. So I decided to use the same method on the Trophy (despite having used...
