What's the most anyone's had out of their Trophy? A friend recently borrowed mine and said he took it up to 155mph with his dad in the passenger seat and felt like it still wanted to go even faster! I know the speedometer reads 160mph but I found this hard to believe as the spec notes top speed...
...what would it be, and why? No budget limits, but remember that although it will be given to you, you will have to fill it up with fuel and service it and this is your only car for the rest of your life, so if you EVER need a boot or have more than two friends, the Maccer isn't the obvious...

I know it's a bit unfair because it would still be a little tight, but I can confirm that a Trophy is appreciably quicker up a slightly twisty hill than a 197 :)
Blue one tried to keep up and failed earlier today here:

When I was cleaning #488 the other day I noticed some sort of damage on the rear, offside damper but the rear nearside is fine.
The damp section is just water....I hope!

Can anyone shed some light on this? I did think that possibly with...
In for a service apparently.
Mine was in too, for some 'bits and bobs', namely sorting out a rattly boot catch and fixing the passenger seat which wasn't sliding when I tipped it to get into back.
AKS Renault seem like a nice bunch; very polite and friendly.
Spotted on fri night at round 7.20pm. Outside the BMW Group Plant Oxford on the ring road travelling towards headington roundabout. Couldn't get close enought to see any stickers.
A quick question - a colleague of mine with a 172 exclusive has shown me how to check the oil level by pressing the wiper stalk when first putting on the ignition.This shows a few blocks in the display to indicate the levels.
Since I've changed my wiper stalk I cant get the display to show the...
Bah, Humbug! First day I get to drive the Trophy in a week, girlfriend at a Christening, Sunday morning and it's a fooking monsoon out there! Instead I'm stuck indoors on the blinking internet. I'm emmigrating and taking XOG with me.
Has anyone done a standing start in a Trophy against a 172 Cup?
Last Saturday I got my arse well and truly kicked by a Cup off the mark :oops: :evil: Is it just me being crap at standing starts or are they faster, as the published 0-60 times suggest? Please help, I'm losing sleep thinking...
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...
As posted before i'm about to buy a Trophy and have been trying to look ahead a year or two and see what the Trophy is likely to be worth and how the introduction of the 197 Cup or Trophy might affect its values. In the end i've ended up with more questions than answers and simply havent been...
