    If you could only ever own one car...

    ...what would it be, and why? No budget limits, but remember that although it will be given to you, you will have to fill it up with fuel and service it and this is your only car for the rest of your life, so if you EVER need a boot or have more than two friends, the Maccer isn't the obvious...

    Two months without a clean...... rectified now

    Yes i've had a busy few months and have had more fun driving the Trophy and have kept putting off giving the car what it deserved, a damn good clean. The Permaguard treatment has actually made the task very easy, I've used nothing more than water and their shampoo and the end results have made...

    I hate the British weather

    Bah, Humbug! First day I get to drive the Trophy in a week, girlfriend at a Christening, Sunday morning and it's a fooking monsoon out there! Instead I'm stuck indoors on the blinking internet. I'm emmigrating and taking XOG with me.

    Montagny at the Ring, in a RSClio; and some other stuff.

    Another clip from me, with Renaultsport Clio in it :wink: Goes to show quite much of a hooligan one can be in a RSClio :twisted: Not sure about the state of the tyres and clutch after such antics :roll: but that would be to quibble, especially as he doesn't have to worry about such...

    Servicing

    Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose. I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

    Is your Trophy set up properly???

    It seems a few people on the forum now have been to check alignments and cambers on their Troph's recently, only to find they are a bit out of sync. . . I am keen to get mine checked out and so im looking into the possibility of getting a Group Discount. I have been recomended a company...

    ESP on or off - how do you do it!

    Taking over from Pete G's post in the number plate thread, how does everyone use their ESP? (no responses about extra sensory perception please! :wink: ) Day to day driving, I just leave it on, you never know when you may need it's assitance (oil on the roads etc). When I'm driving hard...
