We've had a feel around, and where the anti-roll...

    ITS SERVICE TIME - BEST PLACE TO TAKE IT?

    Just rolled over the 36k mark and was after some guidance on where to take the trophy for its due service. I live in the west middlands, near Wolverhampton and have a choice of neighbouring main dealers but feel that the treatment and price would be much more attractive from a RS specialist...

    Fuel Tank

    Having just stepped out of an R27 into a Trophy i was wondering how many miles you guys were getting out of a tank? I seem to be averaging 31mpg on the daily commute, a fair bit more than the R27 at around 26mpg but that also had a bigger tank, so couldn't get my head round the maths!! :oops: I...

The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

    Bad Drivers

    Bit of a random one this, but I fancied having a moan about the appalling quality of a lot of the driving on our roads. Sometimes it's so bad it actually scares me. I think my biggest pet hate, or one of them at least, is people who randomly brake for no reason. Not necessarily heavy braking...

    Reliability

    I'm somewhat concerned by the cost of maintenance for the Trophy, but the question is how often does it need work doing? Do you folks find them to be reliable enough to not worry for a while or is there often an niggling worry that something could go wrong at any minute? Given that I won't have...
