Trophy is a very good car and I will miss mine....it was time to change or keep forever...the Trophy is a proper track car with a satisfyingly harsh ride amd mega handling....the cup is more refined, more comfortable and practical...I've had it for a week now so still running in, but I've had it at speed on the twisties and it feels very good (yet different to the Trophy) I've no doubt it will get better as it gets bedded in...I would say that this will be a very quick car :twisted: Will always have a great deal of respect for the Trophy!!

Can't do this weekend unfortinately....there are some excellent drives in Wales. Maybe there will be the oportunity to get a group of Clio's (and other's) together for an outing in the summer...maybe post some ideas on the events section on here?

My Cup is white with black wheels....had it a week...been washed 4 times! Maybe I should have ordered a darker colour :roll: Racing blue would work well with the black wheel option
