I took some time off work, was supposed to be doing some sensible stuff round the place. Kind of got side tracked, but said side track may of more interest to this forum.
Following from previous threads about camber adjustment amongst other things.

I think it will interesting to see how many owners have taken their Trophy's on track, or are planning to, this may be organised track days, airfields, private tracks, drag strips, race events or the Nurburgring. I'm going to be taking mine soon, so at the moment it's a track virgin...

Myself and Day are off to Germany in the morning, so there may be a bit of a delay answering any questions / pm's / emails etc.
Fubar will still be around if you need anything.
Play nicely, see you when we get back :D

Seeing as a few of us are planning trips to the 'Ring over the next few months, I thought I should post a link to this website that has some amazing on board footage of laps at the 'Ring - http://www.joerundseim.com/default.htm

I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people!
I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...
Guys - I am thinking to spend the Easter holiday long weekend in Germany (and possibly squeeze in a lap at the Nurburgring!).
Does anyone have experience driving there? How long and how much (petrol etc.) do you roughly estimate the trip to be?
Cheers for any advice...
O.
Edit...
How many people pay for it?
If not why not? Does your normal policy cover you? Are you so rich it doesn't matter?
I'm interested because I would never consider going out on the track with cover, but some people seem to be very blase. From various people I've heard it suggested that all you...
I just thought I'd tell people that I've sold my Trophy. :cry:
I've done 10,000 miles in 5 months, half a dozen trips to the Nurburgring in it, and a couple of Bedford trackdays. I've only ever driven it to, on or from a track, it seems !
It's been great fun.

Just hunted down some of my favourite car vids, thought I should share the download links with you lot. The vids are quite old, so apologies if any of you have seen these before. I think it is best to right click on the links and save target to your hard disk, as the clips are quite large -...
With so many of us likely to buy Michelin Exalto 2 tyres as replacements for the ones already on our Trophy's, I thought it may be useful to start a thread with location/prices for the aid of all of us.
So as the first entry I have found Exalto 2s at:
Place: www.mytyres.co.uk

hard to explain what it is like ?
Right you lot, we seem to have a decent number of Trophy owners on the Forum now, and it has been decided that maybe it is time to sort out a big meet to get as many Trophys together in one place.
I am looking to get some ideas at the moment, and would love to hear some of your ideas.
