Here's my old 5 GT-Turbo. It was a company car (I was only 23) and as I changed jobs, I only had it 14 months, but I did 44k miles in it & got nicked for speeding 3 times! I left the job as they were expecting me to look after construction sites in St Austell, Braintree & Cambridge - I live in...
Picked up my Exige Sport 380 on Saturday. It's an absolute weapon.
Until the GT3 is sold, I seem to have rather too many fast cars.
Will be keeping the Trophy though - the fun factor is just so accessible. It's also got about 1000x the load carrying capacity of the Exige.
So having driven like a dream on the way back from having a few bits done at Rentech on Friday, when I went out in it Friday evening the engine management warning light came on after about half a mile and it started running rough. There was also a bad smell, that I'd struggle to describe. I...
So I'm hopefully close to getting my Trophy pretty well sorted having acquired it in April.

Almost the perfect car to do it in, but still a good effort from Bovingdon.
Makes we want to go back - been too long since I was last there
So I got my Trophy yesterday. On the way home I had a chance to push it a bit on a twisty bit of a road. The car felt a bit "floaty" over high speed bumps and there was a bit of crashing when I hit small potholes / bits of bad road surface.
The Sachs dampers were service just over 20,000 miles...
Well I've just got home from collecting 182 Trophy # 8 and I'm grinning like a loon.
What a fun car.
I have a few questions but will run a search first.
