Ive been stopped buy the police 3 times in the Trophy.
1st time was at 00:10 hours and I had just finished work, entered a round about at a steady speed and when I came off the roundabout I floored it in 2nd as a policeman was coming in the opposite direction, he circled the roundabout and followed me for about a mile before pulling me over and giving me a telling off. I didnt think it mattered how fast I got up to 60mph as long as I didnt pass it , but there you go. He accused me of speeding which was a complete lie, why would I speed when I saw them coming. I denied it and he got all snotty saying he has the power to have my car crushed etc, I could understand if I was in the wrong.
2nd time was on the same roundabout at the same time but this time I entered the roundabout at 40 (being midnight the road was clear) only who was coming in the opposite direction, the police ! I got pulled over but I knew I was in the wrong this time so expected it. The guy siad I was coming round the roundabout on 2 wheels, I really wanted to say that clio's do it on 3 wheels but I kept my mouth shut this time. I was no where near on 3 wheels at 40mph, the Trophy just glides around roundabouts at that speed. But, its 30mph limit on roundabouts so I accepted I was wrong.
3rd time was in the middle of a Cliosport meet of all places leading the pack! It was just a random vehicle check and were pulling alot of people over that day, they had the cones out and everything, not too bothered and im all for it,its just the others had no idea where they were going
