In my short time here (a week) I get the impression that trophy owners seem to be older and more mature than normal RS owners. Is this a fair assumption?

For the record i'm 28 and pick 480 up tomorrow.

25, Had the Trophy for a little over 1.5 years.. I like to think that it encourages a more thoughtful following.. A car that appeals to enthusiasts because they know how good it is, beneath it's (relatively) normal appeal.

just turned 27. fourth motor. previous ones where Mk1 Fiat Uno 1.1 60S, Mk1 Punto 1.2 60S, MK2 Fiat 1.2 16V Sporting. Having a fairly fast motor is still quite a novelty!

I'm not linking the post because it ended quite nastily but that aside, search for 'prawn'... There was an old chap who owned (and ruined) a Trophy, fitting 17s (at least they were speedlines I guess) a dodgy red front splitter and a bunch of guages on the dash.. I would go so far as to say that it wasn't as bad as the awful silver and red colour coded, lexus clustered Trophy but it looked pants!
