Not posted on here for a long time but I still have the car. Had a few good years of using it as my daily but sadly it's been sat for over the a year due to lack of funds from moving house. Now looking at putting it back on the road and enjoying it once again. Treated it to some new mintex brake pads as I hated the brembo ones, and just waiting on a battery arriving. Only thing is now I've got a leaky damper, so will need to address that next [emoji17]

I remember taking that photo :) My own Trophy is just peeping in behind you (T44 PHY). Shortly after the event my T was back in the workshop and I've not seen it since :(

Why has it been in the workshop for so long?

It's a long story... hahaha! To cut a long story short I've not had the best of luck with it and I'm now on my 4th engine rebuild. After a stock rebuild and two ITB builds I'm now going down the turbo route. It's taking a very long time but it's quite a special little build that's being done :)

Sounds like you've really had some bad luck there! Bet you can't wait till its all done. If I end up enjoying the car as much as did before I'll probably turbo mine in the next couple of years

Not been on here properly for a number of years. Still got the Trophy, but I must admit I've been in a constant debate of whether to keep or sell. It's been fairly low on the priority list since buying a house which needed renovating.

Just been away to Brighton to watch the speed trials, and it's sparked my general interest in cars again.

Over the past 4 years the Trophy has been my second car, but I've had a run of bad luck / never got the balance quite right with my other car.

51 plate 1.2 punto - written off (someone pulled out on me)
02 plate 1.9 GT Tdi golf - written off (uninsured 'pool car' crashed into it on the street)
55 plate 1.4 Fiesta - hated it

Now I've just bought a 2010 Corsa SE auto. Only done 44,000 miles and is in really good condition. Hopefully should be comfy enough to get me to work and back.

So for now I think it makes sense to keep the Trophy for a bit longer. I know with it being a cat d I won't get any decent money out of it to buy anything else. Just needs a bit of attention on the exteriorPicture_20190912_195132447.jpg
