    If Trophy's didn't exist...

    ...what would you be driving? 172 Cup? 182 Cup? 197? 230 R26? Focus RS? DC5? DC2? Williams? 205 GTI? (Me) 230/255 V6? Elise? Golf GTI? Mini Cooper S Works? Or what are you driving instead, and why not a Trophy?

    How far did you go to get your Trophy?

    Not figuratively, but literally With the new owner of 137 having a bit of a trek it reminded me of taking the train from Watford, into London and then up to Beverely outside Hull just to save a few hundred quid when getting mine. Think it came in around the 200 mile mark. Surely some others...

    Tesco 99 RON works best! (Disclaimer : for MY Trophy)

    We have discussed before about what fuels work best with the Trophy and I mentioned in another thread that I was going to do my own mini survey! So here it is - in all its succinct glory! :lol: I've always sworn by Optimax (superceded by V-Power as we know) so have used that primarilly with...

    If it wasnt red...

    I have to say that the red paint is one of the most unappealing things about Trophy ownership for me, i understand colour choice is a very personal thing - so some people will love the red paint - but for me, if the car was made available in another colour or two - i probably wouldnt choose red...

    155mph

    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...

    Trophy Secrets

    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...

    Oil level indicator on dash?

    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...

    Nope 328 is still in good health, but I've just had the DVLA paperwork come through confirming the plate is now on retention. I've just fitted my new plates, guess i'd better change my forum name now!

    Petrol station full of Trophy's

    Pic I took at Brands back in August. The guys at the garage didn't really know what was going on. Tis me, OliS, Stuart and Nigel if I remember correctly. Plus Benny223 was round the corner somewhere me thinks after the morning fluid issues.

    Servicing Intervals?

    I just spotted this on the Renaultsport forum "panel of experts" bit: Eldorado asked: 182 service Am I right in saying that my 182 clio needs servicing either every 12k miles or every 12 months? If so, why was this changed from every 24 months? Isn't a service every year a little excessive...

    Richard Hammond is in a critical condition in Hospital

    He crashed while doing some fiming in a jet car on a track near York, he's on the neuro ward and was taken into hospital unconscious. I hope he's OK, one of the only decent presenters on television.

    Questions from potential owner...

    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...

    Number 6

    Anyone know anything about number 6 currently at renault london west on reg plate hk05 zpr? Was it a press car for instance? I glanced at it quickly and noticed the rear pads were pretty low but the fronts were like new, would that be because someone has been driving it being over reliant...

    New V-Power card has arrived...

    Has anyone else got this in the post? 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? O.
