Pulled out behind you as you were turning right at the bottom of Preston Drove buddy, gave you a good old flash, but don't know whether you were paying any attention! Had just been for a nice spin over the dyke before diving back to the shell for some go go juice. :D

Sorry people, felt the need to post this as due to a 'cover up' by the Super Moderators (aka Laughter Police?) most of you will probably never know the amusement you missed out on this morning.
Seems that one of the moderators had a little too much to drink last night and made a LOT of posts...

Has anyone remapped their trophy?, anyone got a group n ecu?
And if so how do you rate it, is it worth it etc..
Will it damage your engine / completely invalidate the warrenty
Any info would be great :?:
Reading some of the posts lately by people casually dropping things about the car like being able to disable the RAID by holding the switch down, checking the oil level electronically (a gem) and pulling the seat base forward, I thought there may be some other useful nuggets that all owners may...
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...
I'm considering parting from my princess. She's just celebrated her first birthday ('55' year registration) and completed 8,000 miles - me as the first and only (mature) owner. Never tracked or dinged - fuel computer averaging 33.9 mpg over past 4,000+ miles! Always run on Optimax / V-Power...

Norwich Union is offering PAYG insurance... i.e. pay per mile of driving, capped up to the limit of what your policy would normally cost on a normal plan.
It's great for younger drivers, and also good if you do minimal mileage a year.

FCUK me, long storey but remebered that i needed to get a new tax discs as Trev the Trophy is now 1yrs old.
The dosey sods at DVLA didnt send me the form, so had to find all my details. So off i go with my documents, jump on the missus moped, pull out of the road only to see a load of cops...
As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly!
Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started:
1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON?
2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...
My local normal rip off shell garage that sold optimax at 105.9 has just changed to v-power. Better still it's going for 99.9!!!

Was sent a nice little card to use at the petrol station and a leaflet advising that 99 ron is now available at Shell stations (as V-power, not Optimax).
Has anyone seen this, and have you got a card too?

.First i'll do a spot; if anyone saw a broken trophy being dragged along the A34 by a AA van this morning, That was me. I know it was me because i was the grumpy one sitting in the passenger seat of the van.
