    Softer Suspension..Would it be faster?

    Just came back from a few days in the Isle of Wight. Took the Trophy (filled with camping stuff) and left the wifes 182 FF at home. Spend most of the week dodging poor road repairs. Sometimes when it 'appears' perfectly flat that can be even worse. Makes me think its too hard for carry good...

    First photos of my Trophy

    Picked it up last week, and finally managed to give a clean this weekend. Although it looks uber clean, the paintwork has a fair ammount of swirls, and although I have clayed the car, it is still like sandpaper in some areas!. Perhaps a more aggressive 'clay' required? Anyway...

    Trophy for Life.

    Anyone planning not selling their Trophy and keeping it mint for the long term. I had thought about selling mine and getting 8.5 plus but, On second thoughts a good Williams still makes 3k (1994) and my 1990 1.9 205GTI is worth 2k all day long. So 8500 today and keep it mint and it will...
