Horrific mpg lol. And you struggle to get 250 miles out of the tank as well - sod that :dead: I actually prefer the looks of the normal e60 Sport as well, so think i'd almost be tempted to go for a manual 550i over the M5 ... R32 is currently at my local specialist for DSG/Haldex oil & filter...

I'll burn my CS card later on if i can find it.

Great shots!! Although i am disappointed at your 'lack of sideways' at lift off oversteer roundabout :(

There is that to bear in mind, Trophy insurance is obscene, more than the R32, & nearly as much as the M3!!! Expensive dampers FTL.

lol. He's the type of person that would post on here, & make me want to sell my 1*2 and burn my CS membership card.

Search his username on the Trophy forum, then have a think about whether you would want to buy a car from him. Bruv.

FLOL. Fuel bills to high iirc.

From memory, he is an utter bellend.

Loverly jubberly. Best on the phone to BG then!! Ask them to use lube though, it hurts otherwise ;)

Fair enough. Decent price that. Assuming cambelt done somewhere decent#?

Im assuming you're the 9th owner now? Ex-owner was Kam2Turbo iirc. Been razin dem mandemz in dat car innit blud. Good luck.

About 3k miles from memory, two trips home to Penzance, one to Cardiff then a few work miles as well :( Was great while it lasted, got loads of VPower points at least ...

One of the originals, havent tried one of them specifically, but Sarah's brothers MCS is quite fun - does have silly cams, obscene boost & nigh on 250bhp though, so it does drive slightly differently to a 'normal' one. I think its the rarity of the Gp that appeals, & the residuals of course -...

lol. Thats brilliant!! Quite true as well ... :o I'd be tempted to try a Mini Works GP as well tbh. That was on my list of cars to buy this time round.

Im not having a go by the way, my experience was that speeds up to 65ish, the 197/200 is very similar to the 1*2, but anything above that and it really tails off due to the low gearing/excessive weight. Thats based on based on a 90 mile a day private road commute, so averaging circa 75-85 leptons.

Really? My Trophy averages 36, & my 197 Cup did 29 - thats a big difference lol.

I think my problem was that the interior fit, finish & quality was simply too poor to warrant the cost of the car - for a daily driver anyway. My 197 also averaged 29mpg, which was the same as the M3 i had previously. A clio for me, is a cheap, fun car, with minimal running costs, so having to...

I test drove a 200 non-cup, then a 200 cup, then bought a 197 Cup (to replace my Trophy). It was sold after 3 weeks. Not as good as the Trophy if you are after 100% fun, but better as a day to day proposition. However, when you are thinking about one as a day to day proposition, the dire mpg...

Lucky to get out of that one unscathed!! As above though, whilst the gut instinct says to swerve, unless its a horse/cow/elephant, its usually better to just take out the animal.
