Parked at Renault Birmingham today. I couldn't make out the number unfortunately. Apparently the current owner has had it since it was around 8 months old and the first owner was the one who had the full retrim. It's in amazing condition.
Looked like you anyway. This morning about 7 heading towards Norton on the road which runs from the tip roundabout to 5 ways. You were just going over the small roundabout between the two, I was in a blue Pug 206.
A week last Thursday the Trophy went in for it's 12k service and a bit of warranty work.
The warranty work was knocking engine mounts, and a knock/rumble through the floor under your feet.
They serviced the car, did the brake pads and the mounts and topped up the power steering fliud to fix...
I noticed on the pictures of me on track at the weekend that something was hanging from the underside of the car.
It was in for it's 12k on Thursday, and also had a couple of faults looked at and of course not fixed!!! Plus it had new front pads.
Now it's got a thing which obviously should go...
This afternoon I was out an about and decided to go check out the new Golf GTi. After I'd had a good poke around I headed back to my car to find a bloke there taking pictures of it.
I unlocked it and went to get in, as I did he came over and asked me about the car finishing off by saying how...
Not up to my usual standard, but I was bit busy today to take loads of pictures. I didn't even get close to the track other than when I was on it.

Here's a few pics of 0001 on the ClioSport stand at FCS.
A massive thanks to Renault UK for the loan of the car, and Graham who looked after it all day.

Firstly a massive thanks to Jay for all his hard work on my car today, and for using all his products on it. It's the best it's EVER looked.
Just a few pics, the rest are here: Click me

I was just wondering how long front brake pads usually last on a 172/182?
In 22500 miles in the 172 and 18500 in the 182 I never needed new ones. The Trophy is in for it's 12k this morning and it needs new front pads.
The 182 had done a few track days, but I don't think any of them...
I was just having a quick look at the Sky HD site.
Anyone know what they are going to allow you to connect to the USB port on the back? I notice it also has a serial ATA port so I assume you'll be able to add additional storage space with an external hard drive?
There's a new download pack available for PGR3. It's free and contains 3 new Cadillacs. If you race them on the test track and get a top 100 time you win a unique gamer picture, basically just a Cadillac badge.
Get in there early. I've just done it in 5 minutes and stuck myself in the top 40...
This evening turning into the Jewelry Quarter at about 5.50. Had a CS sticker in the bottom right hand corner of the rear screen. I gave my horn a quick pap as I want past.
For the next 24 hours game are going to put up a new item every hour on the hour at a discounted price. They currently have the 360 core system up for £139.99 but I expect they've sold out by now.
Their site is dog slow because of it. lol

OMG, I don't usually get a hardon over a car, let alone a Clio but this does it for me....big time. Even my boss has just commented on it looking amazing.
Pics taken from another forum. Credit to the person who took them. Thanks.
Morning,
For this years stand at the French Car Show ClioSport have been lucky enough to secure the original Hot hatch, Clio Williams 0001.
Only recently sold by Sir Frank Williams. This will be the cars first official outing since Renault UK acquired the car so we're very lucky to have it...
Firstly the 197 obviously. The car isn't a final production models so the spec is a little odd, and it's missing the start button and I think card entry system. I wasn't able to drive it today as it's not registered for the road, and had a few faults due to people removing belts for photo...
