I'm going up to the Lake District in a couple of weeks, can anyone recommend any good roads up there?

Got to work this morning and looked at my van and saw the spare wheel brace hanging down!! Bastards half inched it, then I noticed a strong smell of diesel and opened the filler cap to see it missing!! I thought oh well, I will just go fill her up, moved it forward to put the spare wheel brace...

Hi Everyone, I'm always nosing around on here and love the site, but I don't post very often. :oops: Hopefully this question is relevant to most standard trophy owners and I'm not the only one! I know that the brakes are the weakest link for the trophy, but I'm...

As above.

spotted my first trophy on the road today, it was coming onto the edinburgh bypass at about 4.45pm, Reg T2** PHY, bird driving it.

I am considering buying a second hand 993 as a weekend car (or perhaps as a daily driver and turning the Trophy into a weekend car). Something with around 30-50k miles on it. Has anyone had any experience owning a 993 (or the previous model) in the past? I'm interested even if you've driven...

Ive seen a Trophy 'round Leeds on several occassions. My wife (who drives ours every day) says that she has seen it comin' and goin' from 1st Direct. Is it any one here?

Taking over from Pete G's post in the number plate thread, how does everyone use their ESP? (no responses about extra sensory perception please! :wink: ) Day to day driving, I just leave it on, you never know when you may need it's assitance (oil on the roads etc). When I'm driving hard...

Hi guys. I currently own a 320bhp 1600cc Escort RS Turbo. It is a truly awesome car in very many ways, but I am considering moving on. It is so difficult as that car gives me SUCH a buzz to drive. Problem is, it's starting to show its age and is getting to the point where I may have to...

Here is a thought... why don't any of the major manufacturers make a car stereo/head unit with a USB port (e.g. Sony, Panasonic, Alpine et al.)? It seems that most people now have a USB flash disk so surely there is a market for a DIN sized head unit? There must be a market for a good...

I was just out getting some lunch and was taken by surprise by a Trophy driving into Newhaven over the swing bridge. I didn't have time to react with a friendly wave but hey, neither did you! It was good to see another one locally, the only other I've seen locally was at allvehicles where I...

What a nice sunny day it was today. An ideal time to say, test drive an Audi TT. I nipped to town to buy a spice mill today (for masala grinding) and saw so many cars on trade plates, presumably on test drives. I'd left my car on the road, and it was baking when I got back in, so I popped...

Just a quick question, whats your mpg like at the mo? My Dads moved jobs a couple of weeks ago and since the longer journey to work the mpg has gone up .1 everyday! Its now at 34.5mpg and hes only using unleaded as there is no super around here.

Parking in the middle of nowhere in our office car park has been clocked by some work warriors. The've devised a game to see who can park the closest to my beloved! A mates 'Big Vern' Volvo V70 will be called into action next week.... :twisted: R.I.P yellow VX220 and red VTX.

Hi guys, im in the process of buying a house and the CTR is proving costly in terms of monthly payment and fuel so thinking of changing to a trophy. Looked at them last year but decided to keep the CTR. Will i find driving the trophy a big change to the type r? What should i look out for...

Test-driving the £12995 trophy out of Renault in Coulsdon this Friday and boy am I going to wring it's neck out! I figure I'm going to head South towards Merstham on the A23 then return via the country roads through Chipstead that run parallel to the A23 to ensure that my passenger will...

http://www.noble-hhc.co.uk/ads/carview.php?view=70 Well not quite, I've just spoken to the sales guy and it's number 009. Just an error as the car hadn't arrived when they placed the advert. Friendly fella and his wife has number 135 (he thinks). He reckons he has as much fun in her Trophy...

Hi guys, Maybe a bit of a silly question, but when I have my wipers on the first speed, everytime they wipe there's a click from the front passenger dash. Driving me mad :x Is this normal or is the intermitant wiper switch faulty?

Quite apt this month... Snip: FAT SMUG TWAT SLAGS OFF STUFF ON INTERNET The car industry was in crisis this week with news that everything they do is rubbish, at least according to the sneeringly critical opinions of a fat nerd who posts on an internet forum. Chris Titt, better known by...

My car has finally returned from the repair shop. It's going back to say the least. Can anyone tell me if there should be a cover between the front grill and the alternator to stop all the spray etc going through and eventually damaging it. Perhaps someone could have a quick look through the...
