Got Trophy number 64 just over 2 weeks ago. All I've done until today is go to work in the rain, come home in the rain and go shopping in the rain.
Todays fine, nothing on the telly and the wife ironing. So I put some petrol in her and went for a proper "thrash" - purely to make sure everythings working fine of course, being new.
I live east of Manchester so I went out through Mossley and Greenfield and out through the twisties onto Saddleworth Moors.
Easily caught a new Jab Cabrio giving it some. Pulled into the first layby, turned round and waited for a good clear gap in the traffic and then went back through the long series of bends back towards Greenfield.
Fook me - the 172 Cup was good, but this just inspires such confidence. I went round a corner and thought "that was easy, I'll try the next a bit faster"...and she went round, and then the next.....
The brakes that feel a little soft compared to the 172 Cup in normal street driving feel so much better at speed.
I'm still coming down from the high, and I'm so glad I bought this car!
