I'm fitting my 4th set of brake pads to the Trophy tonight, done 14k miles. 7 Track days / evenings + 3 airfield days and a ring trip in there though. 12k seems a bit early but if you've done a few track days i guess its probably about right

WRC by name, WRC by nature ;)

Not exactly sunny, but certainly not wet and cold any more :D http://metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=LE17%205QS&day=4

I average about 15mpg on track. I'd say you'd probably be safe to assume you'll use about half a tank, depends how much time you are out there for during the hour really. Mine went down very fast last year though, thought i was going to have to stop early, but then it recovered and lasted the...

Doh! Wasn't mine. T28 was safely tucked up in the work car park all day :)

it comes on with about 4 litres left I think. Top Tip: If you go into the diagnostic check mode (hold trip computer stalk button in when turning on ignition) and then press the stalk button again it tells you on the display how many litres are left in the tank.

Yep, theres no other choice if you live in Hampshire and own a Renault in my opinion :D Hell you dont even need to live in hampshire, Mike has people from Wales and beyond going to him for work.

My mum left her dynamique with me for a week while she went on holiday.... somehow the wiper stalks got mixed up ;)

One of the best mods i've done!!! Not having variable intermittant drove me mad!

Yep will need painting, try chipsaway.

Agreed, the interior of the car is a big improvement, feels far better built than the mk2. Seats are excellent, would find it hard to justify money for a recaro option with them. Still not totally attracted to the exterior, but its growing on me slowly. It does make the mk2 look dated though...

Bird crap is evil stuff. I sometimes can't avoid it where i park at work and my cars paint is constanly getting minor etching from it even though i remove it as soon as i get home. It's actually the reason i bought a PC, to sort out some bird crap damage. Here's an example of the damage to...

He he, i seem to remember this was suggested last year, as i did a photoshop for it

drool

Excellent news :D

Nice :D I so want to do a trackday at this circuit

Hi Paul, good to see another local join the club :D

Its not a cup its a full fat 182. Revels was talking about someone elses 172 cup that had stickers, i think thats where the confusion started :p

The Windows Live Shopping site doesn't even try, but thats not really suprising since its a) beta and b) microsoft. http://shopping.live.com/

Cheers :). The camera is mounted in the front grill, on the drivers side. Its shielded from the heat of the radiator at that point and theres a useful hole to feed the wires back into the car.

Believe me we really did! The Trophy was a bit more tricky, but with some excellent guidance from the others I managed to steer it through without grounding it out

Managed to record a lap of the ring on my bullet cam at the weekend. The camera was only on the car for the one lap then it rained, so i'm glad it came out ok. BTG time is about 9m30 i think. I got held up a couple of times, once really badly on the fast uphill section, so I'd have been able...

Complete set of photos from the trip are now here

Well after 1430 miles in 5 days, burning 52 gallons of fuel! 15 laps of the ring, countless Bitburgers, and more than a lifetimes supply of Currywurst mit Pommes..... I'm finally home. Big thanks to everyone else on the trip, it was superb, and especially Jon for the organising of it. These...

Weather hasnt really been a problem to be honest, it's just so changable up at the ring. Its been cold and snow showers today mixed with bouts of warm sunshine! Very odd. Didn't really affect laps though, the track was open all day and the surface was pretty much dry throughout, bar the first...

There will be loads more when we get back, but here's a few pics from the 'ring over the last couple of days. Steak on a stone @ the PistonKlause

What was that about nutters being on the track? I may have to cancel my place now ;)

:D :approve:

Excellent vid as always Pete :D

PMSL! :clown:
