C8 BRL or similar, heading south past Burger King and up the link towards Tesco (and roadworks). Looked clean & tidy :)

A pain to get used to but a bonus once you're there, no? You can change gear with the left hand, steer & indicate with the right. Personally it's always made more sense to me on manual RHD cars.

If your concerns that your Renaultsport Clio is under-powered are based on the fact that it feels slow compared to your old turbo Impreza, and that when you used to go up against other Clios you couldn't shake them, maybe your car is behaving perfectly normally and you just need to adjust to...

Aspiring? Anyway, naked selfies doesn't count! ;) Littlemissnaughty & her car for the 2014 CS calendar?? ;)

Sam, your behaviour is simply unacceptable! You drive a Trophy FFS, you must conform, it must remain standard or you face dire consequences. Who the hell do you think you are carrying out modifications at the top of the CS layer cake? It's a Trophy, not a cheap, French hot-hatch. Get with the...

I think it was Sunglasses Ron who was running an Incipio Feather case, and because of his testimony I bought one. Still love it, very much indeed! Thanks Ron.

A very touching account, thank you for sharing and congratulations on doing such a good job under the circumstances.

Event banned by NYC - did they get what they wanted? Intelligence = zero (all involved).

Nope, we hit the road by 1pm and the T was tucked up at home an hour later so it must have been someone else.

I cannot convey enough how little justice these pictures do to Sam's Saxo, which, with it's lairy cams & ITBs is an absolute beast, and deserves a thread of its own, just for the noise! So much want! Good to meet up today, thanks for taking the pics Chris, it's a shame a few more of the usual...

Cheers pal. As said, they're 15s, and it's on Cooksport springs with 20mm spacers front and 5mm rear.

Me indeed! Cheers chaps

This is a lovely car, Rhys, looked fantastic when you bought it and is getting better & better. I can totally see where you're coming from on the wheels, and while I agree they look fresh in silver, for me they detract a little je ne sais quoi from the car. I'm sure the folk on CS would PS...

Nearly 15 years old? Looking mighty fine, Ryan, liking that a lot!

Ahhhhh, that's why I don't get it. :p

That's fine with the fire engine because the letters are huge, and it's likely to be approaching you from behind. The chances of reading the CS sticker once it's gone past you, given you're both doing 10mph, is minimal. Both you and the Clio doing 30mph and the chances are zero. There must be...

But why, that's what I'd like to know...

There's every chance they took the picture then flipped it so everything appears backwards. I've seen them do it in mainstream car ads to make the car appear LHD when it was RHD. They use pallendromic (sp?) number plates as well, or ones which read similar when flipped - 0X0 MVT, for example.

Have you checked the Trophy register on cliotrophy.co.uk? May be something there.

Come on chaps, share your specs (including car)...

182 Trophy RS2 ProSpeed stainless exhaust with decat Mapped by MWM

My advice would be to buy on condition and not mileage. Better to have a Trophy that's done 60k and been very well looked after, than one on 30k with dodgy Sachs and patchy history or the belts done by a random, for example. Cheeky fúcker!

This. A forced respray as a result of front-end damage is quite a different proposition to an elective respray for aesthetics.

Do you want the meaningless book value, given that these engines seem to have such wide variances from the factory? What budget do you have to play with?

Cheers Sam. The Sachs were refurbed in April 2011 (10k miles ago) then I bought the car a couple of months later. Sportlines were on for nearly 18 months with no issues at all and obviously I've only had the Cooksport springs on for a few days but the dampers are still in fine fettle. They'll...

With the Eibachs on it was no question a much better ride than your 200. With the Cooksports on I think it's still better but not by as much. Next time we're out I'll take you for a drive in it then let you have a go yourself so you can see first hand. GFY! Happily, no issues to report...

Last night I went out on some of the best roads in West Berkshire. My usual circuit is a 50 mile loop, which varies from some very fast, sweeping bends over the Ridgeway, to a section of really tight, technical stuff passing the Uffington White Horse, and a bit of everything inbetween. It's a...

ET43, as per standard Trophy Turinis, and the spacers widen the track by a total of 40mm.
