    Trophy going through that 'problem' stage......

    ........have had a very frustrating few weeks after the T was finally paid for outright. I think it's just been a month of 'doom' but hopefully the rectification and replacement of various components will see the T right as rain! It started off with a very continuous issue with my Janspeed...

    Prices! Whats going on?!

    right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...

    Trophy makes top 10 hot hatches; again

    From today's online Daily Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/pic ... ml?image=3 The link to the piece on the home page uses the photo of the Trophy with Alonso to tempt you in to read it. Does that mean the writer thinks the Trophy is the best I wonder? Or is it just a better photo...

    Road Tax Question + SORN
