Our friends at Millers Oils are sponsoring Ten Of The Best been held at Elvington Airfield in York next weekend 26th & 27th July. They have very kindly given us two pairs of tickets to give away to two lucky forum members. Ten of the Best (TOTB), is a performance road car event aimed at...

I've seen just about every other Basingstoke Trophy there is apart from yours, until yesterday. Spotted you heading southbound on the M3 at around half 4 yesterday (Saturday) afternoon, just by Hook airfield. It looked very clean but then I could only get a glance. :wink:

hey ok so i have a question, the trophy has great handling no? that was the point. so why is the 'logo' picture in the top corner got a whole load of body role would another pic not be more appropriate ? tell me to shut up if im wrong, it just seems a bit odd thats all. only food for thought...

Bottom of the page (3) a little vid from yesterdays trackday (my first in the T) taken from a Clio 197 (or 200 - I'm not sure) a bit damp but not too slippy. I slowed at the end to cool the brakes before coming in - not a breakdown! 8) http://lotus.ze-forum.com/t481-RESUME-A ... m?start=30

Hi All, Have just registered on the site and thought i'd introduce myself. I don't have a Trophy just yet but I'm looking to get one in the next few months. I'm currently driving a JDM FD2 Honda Civic Type R which I imported approx 18 months ago. The car's an absolute cracker but unfortunately...

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

I had an amazing opportunity today! driving along in Windsor and i saw a Mclaren Merc SLR Stirling Moss, this one happen to be the first one of the production line and the one taken to Goodwood Festival of Speed this yeah........... yes that means it was the one Stirling Moss himself drove up...

Another great meet. Not as much convoy driving as the previous few outings but a good opportunity to chat and also to get some passenger rides! (Big thanks to Dallas for negotiating the tight gaps, 4 up in the blue barge! Also to Jules and Luke for back to back Orb race/soft comparisons!). Here...

When I click a new thread I generally get this error (see below) page loads OK if I refresh it. Site is also slow for me, been like this for the last week or so. <div class="errormessage"> <span class='tab-r'>PEAR Error</span> MDB2 Error: Array <pre>_doQuery: [Error...

Hi All, Just bought a 1 owner 29k Mile Trophy. Paid 7k. From a chap just down the road from me. Will dig out the number tonight so i can update the register.. EDIT Number: 224 Car was in pretty poor condition for such low mileage, but has the full service history, and hpi clear, as well as a...

Not posted for a while, new job... :oops: Got a bit carried away last week :roll: having waited a while I have finally become the owner a Caterham 7, a Superlight R400, 4yrs old, 10.5k mileage, pearlescent Snot green colour :D See picture at the bottom. Picked "SuperSnot" up in Dundee...

Afternoon all, Just wanted to properly introduce myself and my little girl.My names Alex and her's is, well for now, 474. As i'm sure some of you now i bought her from Gareth on saturday morning, Shes in imacculate condition, and will stay like that for the time its in my ownership.Just...

Right, after a couple of runs with Cue & 7Mat (big thanks) on Sun. Been looking at track events at Donington. Can get £139 all day sessioned or £199 open pit lane, is there any benefit to either?? Any discounts available? Any advice welcomed :D

So im just about to book a driver training day through car limits. One of there airfield days at north weald. Before I booked I just thought I would see if any one has done this kind of thing anywhere else. I know some people have done this one and its recommended, just curious whats out...

I'm thinking of booking a trackday soon.... Apart from the obvious things like insurance, helmet etc I was wondering if any of the trackday veterans on here could give me any advice. I'm looking for info' like, what should i take with me? Do i have to tape my lights? Do i have to fit a tow...

Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels? Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road? Can you...

Picked it up after work on Monday. About 500 miles in so far and while its no Trophy, 205 or CRX...its a cracking motor and I can't wait to get it to an Airfield :D The petrol cap holder thingy comes as standard too :wink: As with most cars, its a 'better in person' thing and being BC this...

Would rather not post another Trophy for sale thread, but due to a move I have to sell 154/500. As these threads tend to degenerate into whether the car is over or underpriced I'm not listing one :) I was hoping to sell the car to a work mate, but he opted for a Mini Cooper S instead... can you...

My V6 has finally arrived and looks really nice on the driveway along with the Trophy - trouble is deciding which one to drive now! The V6 is a mint ex-RUK car which has been stashed away for ages and even after me doing loads of miles today going up and down the country, it has still only...

Just testing to see if my pics upload ok, rubbish shots at the mo! http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m306 ... phy007.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m306 ... phy003.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m306 ... phy001.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m306 ... phy002.jpg

I think it will interesting to see how many owners have taken their Trophy's on track, or are planning to, this may be organised track days, airfields, private tracks, drag strips, race events or the Nurburgring. I'm going to be taking mine soon, so at the moment it's a track virgin... Edit -...

Not sure if Nik has seen this yet, but here is his Trophy with "subtle" front brakes today at Smeartharpe Airfield...

For those of you that have tracked your trophy's what did you have to replace after the trackday. Obviously i'm thinking tyres, brake pads etc but did you actually have to replace them? or were they still ok?

First wash of 2006.. felt the need for some pics... Tried out some 'arty' ideas for pics... Happy New Year everyone! :D Tom

Quick report should anyone be interested Where to start... Andy Walsh - the instructor (ex Benetton F1 test driver) nice bloke, laid back and good at conveying complex points succinctly. Began with the basics, eg how to turn the steering wheel. I knew about pushing , not pulling...

Evo 87 dropped through the letter box this morning; this could be an interesting read I mused... Very good read it is too; some criticism of for example interior quality and the relationship of second and third gear, which didn't strike me as overly critical, but also 'one or two' ;-) good...

Number 104 signing in, greetings and salutations. Have been lurking for a while, but thought I ought to register. Had #104 since June, so about 8,900 miles under the wheels now. Had intended to keep my full fat 182 (with cup suspension) for a long time but then my fiance told me Trophys...

Just had time to grab a few clips from the video I took at Donington on Sunday. http://crowspeed.net/videos/donington091005/donington3.wmv (32mb) http://crowspeed.net/videos/donington091005/donington4.wmv (43mb) Second clip has some crap on the camera to begin with but it clears up...
