Good man! you know what number youre getting? we ought to make a list of csers trophy numbers although i think someone tried to get this started a while back. Im thinking big meet up and a convoy, thatd make for a decent photoshoot ;)
its only a second a lap quicker than a cup round renaults test track, so quicker yes but not massively, my old car was a 1.2 and a right shed at that (snot green too - what was i thinking) so it was a no brainer for me, if i had a sorted cup though im not sure id swap. I like it a lot though so...
Done just over 2200 miles in mine now, love it to bits, still makes me grin a lot, same as you wigstar i ordered mine without testing, went into a dealer with the intention of buying a cup on a monday, whilst he was looking at my old car and getting figures i spotted the trophy, when he came...
Doesnt really do it for me to be honest, bit too over the top but to be fair its not as bad as that sh*t-awful micra i saw on here earlier - now that IS bad.
Fast or long you can drive after having to use that can of squirty white smeg to inflate a tyre? Got a flat at work today and had to use it, didnt go more than 40 though. Cant get it sorted till 10am tomorrow morning so it has to sit overnight, will this be safe??
Any advice would be a big...
My dealer said virtually word for word what Loony says, i gave mine a good 10 minutes to warm thoroughly then i ragged the nuts out of it, and i still do ;)
Hmmm more fun than a 911?, as much as i like the trophy i find that hard to believe, i once drove a 911 turbo from cumbria to west sussex and i did the whole journey like my hair was on fire, sorry but the trophy doesnt come anywhere near IMHO.
Youd be off your head letting them, you should have asked the service manager if he minded dropping his wife off for the night so you can test her out, when he gets all arsey just laugh - yeah and one of your monkeys aint ragging the nuts out of my car either!
I wasnt :) had mine for a month now and im still loving it, lots of fun to be had from sticking one into a bend real hard ;) The V6 though - what a noise, only ever seen one in the flesh once, looked and sounded amazing, dont know if id swap though - tough call.
Thats my point and main source of annoyance really, ffs if he knew the thing had a problem why not just take it back to Renault and moan like buggery rather than drive a deffective car and claim it aint fast etc. And yes im well aware that the trophy aint the best car in the world as has been...

Its nice, but its neither a Cup nor a Trophy.
Not sure if its not a cup but one things for sure - that aint a trophy
In the Daily Mail of all places this time, now i never read the daily outrage but some tw*t came up to me at work this morning going oh dear your cars sh*t look at this. Now the offending journalistic arsehole is one Michael Hanlon.
Big headline Clio: what a carry-on, then the good stuff The...
to be honest id buy it and rag the tits off it for a while then decide, even in standard setup its an impressive machine. That said one of the small criticisms id throw at it is it doesnt make enough noise :) A louder exhaust would make me even happier.

This will cheer you all up no end then.... im 39 (no sniggering at the back) and im paying £542 for a trophy with Adrian Flux with 4 Years ncb and no points living near Bratfud which as most people will tell you is a sh*thole.
Its great being old :D
