Did he mention he was driving a Trophy? I want to see if I'm right in my assumption that he was test driving if for his column.

Yeah think so, thats what I mean't when I said Williams.

Mini does feel quicker due to more torque, on paper there very very close, would really come down to the driver at the end of the day. As for the 130 top speed, if your doing those speeds on roads then your being really really reckless, if your racing at those speeds on UK roads, let me know...

Bubbling paint on the boot lid? if its still under warranty so is under three years old how the hell did that happen?

Or when your car is off the road having some work done and you have a courtesy car which is normally something woefully under powered for a few days (or two weeks when I was having some bodywork done on my Porsche) and you get back into your car and think "BLOODY HELL!":evil:

It could have been a lookalike imo, did you notice any camera equipment on his car or a camera car following him? He could have been test driving one for his collum in the Sun I suppose or for Top Gear Magazine (is that still going? I haven't read it for about 5 years) but I would have thought...

I get about 30mpg on town driving, less if the traffic is bad, haven't had a chance to blat it down a motorway yet so don't know what I would get out of it. Still my VR6 used to average 26mpg (if had some hefty mods though) round town and only just hit 30 odd on the motorway so it costs me...

It looks pretty much the same as the other pics I have seen, I like it a lot compared to the standard version and I am hoping the performance match the looks!

Well it really depends what your used to, with it being a 16v engine its never going to have that low down grunt and the power will be found further up the rev range, but if you've only ever driven a 1.2 or lower and you haven't much experience of fast cars then it will feel that much better...

I don't like the colour of the Trophy Alloys or the trophy graphis down the side, but that can be changed. Other than that I would love to get my hands on a Trophy. On a side note, the other winter when the blizzard hit and cars were stuck for hours on roads all over the country, I saw many...

Well a Phase 1 more so imo, but at the end of the day I see as many men driving Clio's as women and it could be argued that any car that bears a womans name is by definition Feminine. Also seeing as most cars are refered to as "she" arn't they all feminine? And seeing as men who drive...

Wow I can really feel the love in this thread! Starts off with a simple question, How would a Valver stand up to a Mini Cooper S. Turns in to a slanging match between Valver and 172/182 owners! I say settle your arguments on a track........ as a suggestion why don't you swap cars after the...

Just thought that I would point this out...

There is meant to be a shift light right before you redline telling to shift up. Don't know about the rev limit though.
