petrol

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 Price...

All, it seems there is a distinct lack of Optimax down here. Hayle is dry and won't be refilled until the new year, Truro City centre is dry, am not sure about Playing place. The only other place is the Shell services off the A30 just before Truro. If you are coming in fill up here before...

I guess this question is mostly for Nik... I was thinking it would be really nice to try and get as many of the Trophy owners as possible to join the forum. I assume that a lot of these owners are not aware that it exists. (I, like many, found out from CS.) I don't think you would buy a...

Glad you're finally getting the car - hope it's worth the wait! (Guess we won't be seeing you on here for a few days because you'll be too busy driving!)

Is it me??? I have just watched this week's top gear and can't help thinking "Jammy Barstewards" Clarkson, May & Hammond blasting down to the south of france just for the hell of it in three supercars. Well I want some of that action in my Trophy!! anyone up for a trip next summer...

As the title, what car did you have before you switched to the trophy? Me, bmw 325ci, (still got it, cant shift it)

hopefully, some pictures of the car at knockhill race circuit

Anyone know which issue it was in? Date and issue number would be greatly appreciated. Think it was the issue with the Astra VXR on the cover?

And no im not going to ask what it means, ive done 1900 miles already so ive seen it a few times before, just had a question. :wink: Will have to fill up before i head off for work tomorrow and don't know which to choose. . . Shell Optimax 98 ron @ 99.9p per litre or Tesco Super...

Just had time to grab a few clips from the video I took at Donington on Sunday. http://crowspeed.net/videos/donington091005/donington3.wmv (32mb) http://crowspeed.net/videos/donington091005/donington4.wmv (43mb) Second clip has some crap on the camera to begin with but it clears up...

Still waiting for car. At least the dealer has given me a courtesy car in meantime. I managed to get test drive. I think it was no 363. WICKED WICKED. I originally test drove ordinary 182. The trophy seems so much more responsive. Does suspention really have that effect? Ill just have to be...

Not literally! Right Ladies and Gents, only one more day before i pick up my Trophy from the 'stealers' on Thursday morning! Just wondering if you have any advice on how to twist the 'stealers' arm to see if i can get anything else out of them??? I am gonna try to get the Meggy Aluminum...

First I was told delivery 20 September. This is confirmed in writing. Then im told computer says 29 September then a few days later 4 October today im told 7 October. They have given me no proper information except to say "well car is hand made very special could be sooner" ETC ETC. I am so...

Call me stupid but after a week of owning the car I have failed to work out some things. 1- How do I display the mileage reset . What I mean is, I can see my total mileage but not the mileage that you reset when you fill with petrol. 2 - What is the little knob under the passenger mirror...

Well I have gone and done it. Chopped my subaru in for a Trophy. Now I know that the next couple of weeks will be hard as I wait for delivery so.. What it is like ? can any owners wet my apetite? Have I made the right decision? All replies gratefully received :wink: gimme gimme gimme...

Well I went to bed all excited last night about getting the car today only to find it pouring with rain when I woke up. Annoyed right away. Picked the car up to find that it has no petrol at all(as promised) because of the panic buying going on. Still annoyed but happy to at least have the...

Could someone advise me please on running in the car. Also what is max cruising number of rpm and corresponding speed after running in without knackering engine. I have only seen 0 to 60 time. Does anyone know other stats such as 0 to 100mph? What petrol normal or 98. Any info would be useful...

I've decided to give the car a 1000 miles before giving her some welly. And of the 444 i've done, i can't fault one of them. I'm so please with the car, and i really haven't seen all she can do. Done just over a tank and 1/4 and getting 35.5 mpg, i'm guessing that will drop considerably when...

Autocar supliment ' The Art of Car Control' Few pages in there with some nice pics of the trophy, not read it yet but thought i'd give you lot a heads up :)

Just a few pics of my 1 day old car, have used 1/2 tank of petrol already and my cheeks are hurting so much because of all the smiling i have been doing. just a few pics for you to see.

Sat at the lights today and a Mk1 GT40 pulls up along side... How low are these things!! Sat in my car i could see over the roof! lol Sounded unreal, and looked the dogs danglies with its Cream paint and blue GT Stripes. I want One!! :shock:

Hi all, Ive known Nik for years now and can remember the deliberations we had as to whether he should get his first 172 or a 1.6 16v, i think we all know how that turned out!!.... anyway, a bit about my car....not french but hey ho...... Engine & Drivetrain ECUTek3 Custom Engine...
