I'd love a V6, but I need a back seat...

The only time it happened to me it was a 50-60 year old bloke in a Toyota Corolla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going West to East on A30 yesterday late morning. The non-metallic blue (Racing Blue?)

Pardon my ignorance on the colour - from a distance I thought was capsicum but not. Parked in a layby on top of Okeford Hill, Dorset.

I'm a quick driver, but pretty uncompetitive. If someone wants to go faster than me, good luck to them. The only time I boot it because of someone else is if they're driving badly.

6'6" and 15.5 stone and no problem fitting. GF has a mk1 MX5 which I fit in...providing I don't want to wind down the window, as my knee's jammed against the winder! PS there are 14 lb/6.36 kg to the stone.

No, that's me! There's another about. Mine's got a T* PHY plate, his is on a 55 IIRC. And I'd respond to a flash, or any non-rude signal...

So have half my workforce...........

Passed you about 1330 just before A325 roundabout - nice original example by the looks of things.

Followed you from Ringwood slip on A31 to Three Legged Cross, where you turned towards West Moors. 21:30. (I wasn't in my Clio, I was in a van)

There's one parks in the carpark of RIAS Insurance near the hospital. Could be same one?

she probably didn't realise your cars had anything in common.....

Get a spare.

Lives there, I see it parked in the mornings. Is it a new purchase as I've only just started to notice it?

It's just two stills, one of what appears to be a thoroughly chavved-up Clio on fire, then two ugly blokes holding a ventriloquists dummy, alternately. The comments are fantastic. One or two saying "wtf?" and loads of really long, excited comments in Spanish. Um, anyone speak Spanish?

Just pulling out of above office park this morning about 1045. I was the numpty in the Transit in front of you parked over two lanes......

Yes I always wave at 172/182s. Always want to wave at Trophys when in one of my work vans, but manage to suppress it! Despite their commonness (is that a word?), Mrs Theboy gets a lot of waves in her mk1 MX5 - from other mk1 MX5s, clearly.

There's a pattern forming here: "Clio 182 driver pays price for enjoying windy Somerset roads by having to take other half round Clarks Village." Spooky! Tomorrow I'm going (mostly on minor roads) Sherborne - Dorchester - Bridport - Sherborne. Should be fun.

Fame at last! And luckily after I'd just cleaned it! Week off, so Clarks Village for the GF to shop a bit, then payback of being allowed to drive up and down Cheddar Gorge and Burrington Combe. Drove down Burrington Combe behind a young lady in a late-model Metro. Oh. My. God. I could...

Nice alloys and big exhaust. Followed you in my van from Winterborne Whitchurch to Blandford, then a Passat pulled out on you at the Bryanston roundabout!

Innuendo aside, I don't find it an exceptionally hard ride, and the fancy dampers really do their job well; it feels much more composed on rough roads than my previous, equally hard sprung, car.

When I went travelling to Algeria about 15 years ago, I seem to remember regular was 87 octane and super was 92, both about 12p a litre, both of which our 2.25L Landie ran quite happily on. Wished we'd taken a diesel as that was 3 PENCE A LITRE!!!

As the sticker on my fuel cap says: "98 RON recommanded (sic)"

I'm sad and only use V Power or Tesco 99.

You're Hutwood Court, right? Wednesday late pm I'm coming to put some little bugs on your tree, believe it or not....

Anyone in a Clio gets a lot of attention from a big guy in a white Stewarts van in Dorset/Hants, that's me!

I drive a pair of beefy diesel vans at work (104hp VW Caddy, 137hp Transit) so bought the Trophy as a home car to be totally different, but if I only drove one vehicle, I'd just have a diesel; you just can't beat that torque. Keep looking at the new Megane 175 diesel, and thinking "hmmm...."

Given that I saw a liq yellow one on the Blandford bypass this am about 0745, I think it's fair to assume it's the same one!

I'm going to check the mileage... should be about 15,500. I think there are 1-2 other Trophies based around Yeovil way. To aid ident, mine has plate T3 PHY, but only comes out at weekends.

It should've been me because I live in Milborne Port! <checks garage> It wasn't my car either, unless they put it away again.
