On the way back from the caravan (lake district) today i dediced to go back via hartside pass instead of the boring A66! Its the first time i've really had chance to use te car as it should be! can't believe how great it handled the twists, turns and hair pins! It was a much better experience...
Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday so took the Clio out for a blat last night.
After a while turned the ESP off. Wow! Transforms the car!
Acceleration has more bite as does the handling.
The car is brilliant without the Esp on. Just shows how well sorted the chassis set up...
First one was on the 22nd Oct in Hythe passing the Prince Charles Pub.
Second was a Swiss Trophy at the first road toll booth on the France side of the Mont Blanc Tunnel on the 31st Oct.
3rd one was T2 PHY on the M20 heading towards Folkstone.
Just bought Trophy No 237 from Allvehicles.
Pick it up on Tuesday.
Traded in my Elise 111r and have to say i can't wait to get my mitts on the Trophy!
Car was absolutely immaculate and Steve was really helpful and easy to get on with.
No doubt i'll be on here a bit from now on!

A bit of a landmark day with the 50th Clio Trophy being delivered and buying the first FD2 CTR from Japan. Funny how in the 21st C you can spend a shed load of money when you are asleep!
Brand new delivery mileage car in Champ White. Reg'd Sept so will be 57 plate. To be advertising later for...
Im so excited...my dad decided to give up his side of the garage and so me and my brother have just placed an order at westfield for our very own megabusa which we are building ourselves.
we pick all the parts and panels sometime in early-mid december and then its all go go go to get it ready...
Well after much chopping and changing of mind since selling my Trophy back in July, we finally got a new car today... introducing our new R27, bought from Steve@wests - top price, backed up by top quality service... totally recommend anyone in the market for a new car to contact him.
Well...
OK, have been lurking for a while and am ready to buy a car, I have 8k to spend ready in the bank so really I expect I am looking at a 182 with Cup Pack(s) but I thought I would try on here to see what a Trophy goes for nowdays.
I am not after a flaming for insulting the value of the Trophy...

Nice bark as it came past, well impressed to find it was a Trophy :twisted:
Anyone?
If anyone is interested.
Dear Julian,
Having presided over the first bank run in the UK since 1866, Alistair Darling is now about to add an extra 2.35p tax to every litre of fuel sold in the UK. This tax hike comes into force at the start of next week, just as oil prices are at record...

I took my car upto the Evo triangle on friday...some epic roads well worth the trip anyway after a couple of laps I noticed that the brakes had faded abit and the clutch pedal a little lower than normal but I put this down to heat and "spirited driving "
However on the next lap the clutch...
Hi There

As i left my workplace and was driving down the road the radio turned off, all the dials went a bit mad and the trip computer completley reset itself ....
As i drove it down the road i was...
Has anyone noticed the shock on other motorists faces when you overtake? Perhaps when on an A road?
On my regular two weekly drive to see the girlfriend in Edinburgh via the A68 I ve noticed that other motorists are not willing to overtake. In fact they would prefer to be stuck doing 40 in a...

Hi guys (wave) ,
may be you wonder if it is possible to write about our common passion even from such a small country as the Czech Republic is. The answer is - sure! We cannot beat you with incredibly high amounts of sold Clios RS (in fact there were just 20 pieces between 2000 and 2005...
I picked up #165 last night... and my girlfriend and I decided to take our cars out earlier this evening to grab a few pictures. Here they are! I'm still grinning having experienced the handling that the Trophy is renowned for. :D
Cheers,

Just come on the market, you won't find many with mileage this low, if you fancy a change, might get some change left over from a Trophy. Stunning car.

Just wanted to know if there is anything i should be looking out for good and bad.
Many Thanks

My drivers door on the Trophy is catching the bodywork and causing the paint to chip off on the door and body. I took it to my local franchised bodyshop and they said it would be covered under warranty but I would have to take it to Renault garage to get approved then past back to them.

I'm sitting at 21,500, almost 12 months since my last service and needing a new pair of front shoes. Over the next 5 weeks I've got to cover a few thousand miles including a trip to the Scottish Highlands.
By the time I head off to Scotland on September 8th I'll probably be around the 23K -...
2 page feature in this months issue.... may be a good venue for a future club event!!
Did any1 drive it before the change, and has anyone drove it since the re-opening?
just be interesting to see how many original owners(bought from new) there are still out there......post up if you are, and also give you a chance to plug the car if you're selling ;)
Cue - #274 is going nowhere.
