I was quite cynical about them tbh - but watching Lees clip around Oulton clearly shows that the Trophy has an edge over a 172/182. Hope you enjoy it! D.

r-jay - is that all by hand as well? No motorised polishers, etc? Id really like to set aside a weekend to get rid of the factory-fitted swirl marks and general crapiness of the Clios paintwork. How did you learn all this? Was it trial & error or being shown how to do it correctly??? D.

FM - are you on drugs m8? Or have you been sniffing your Optimax-spitting exhaust again?! ;) D.

Not fair....... I want a Vee even more now........ :( Never mind - at least my 182 is still quicker than a V6.... :p D.

Nice one - downloading them now.. :) D.

sh*t-on-a-stick - I bet the owners gutted! :( Looked really good too - especially the smoked effect lenses on the front.... D.

Chris - Ill say again then - you lucky sod! Hope the weathers good on the day. Nothing worse than standing around trackside when the heavens open up..... D.

I think for me, the Vee is something to aspire too. Financial limits aside, I think Ive approached it the correct way. The Punto GT I had before was truly, truly awful at handling - in fact, it was abysmal. The 182 was a revelation in terms on compusure and telling you what it the black stuff...

Ill have those links, pls Lee..... :cool: D.

Lee - bit of an extreme measure m8, to get an Almera for a day or two... ;) Glad to hear that 007 is fine again tho.... D.

What are you up to down at Oulton, then Chris? Just off watching (its criminal that I live within a 50 minute drive and hardly ever visit!) or will you be behind the wheel of some motor? D.

Lucky sod - have a great day! Are you taking the RUG on the track or is it some other make & model day? Just with you mentioning the CSL.... D.

Found it easily enough - good to see Leeshez again! Chris - youll have to make it next time m8 - you too FM - assuming the wonky starter motor isnt still giving you jip!!! D.

Ill be there - but it wont be until 12.15-12.20 time..... Assuming I find it, of course! ;) D.

How far down through Darwen is it? D.

Whereabouts, Leeshez? D.

^^^^^^ - lucky sod! (Chriss response about the location of the station) Ah well - theres always next time! D. [Edited by Darren S on 02 August 2005 at 10:46am]

Sure - today or tomorrow, Im fine. The little tart needs some more Optimax anyway. Leeshez cant make it until tomorrow, I know that much. FM - are you up for tomorrow as well? D. [Edited by Darren S on 02 August 2005 at 9:53am]

No m8 - yesterday. I nipped out and spotted it in all its cleanliness! :cool: Noticed it there again this morning tho..... What time did you leave last night? Just as come out of Shad at about 5.45pm last night, I caught a glimpse of a blue RS just heading up to the motorway. It was too far...

Bloody hell m8 - where do you live to get a premium like that? Im sure Id be paying more than that at the age of 30! D.

Group 15???? I doubt it, m8..... I would have thought R32s were much higher grouping than that? D.

Told the guy who bought my Punto to blat it in 2nd down the road. Its a narrow stretch between some mills and the echo from the exhaust was just awesome. Sad but happy feelings at the same time. Youll get over it Justy! D.

Have you seen the contact email address? Says it all, really.....;) D

02 plate, dark blue 172 - approx 6pm this evening. Went the opposite direction to me - caught a glimpse of a red cold air intake (?). Only saw it at the last minute and didnt let on as the van in front was being a gernobshaft and I was keeping my eyes on him! D.

LOL - was that a remortgage in petrol payments then?! ;) D.

Chris & Nics Cup has made a welcome return - avec no dirt! ;) Glad to see that its back - I was beginning to wonder were it had got to! D.

Of course I did - I have my own 70mph speed limiter fitted! ;) How much heavier are the Meggys over the 182s? That alone must even out the performance abilities of each car? D.

I think Ive only seen one in the past 6 months? Either that, or Im in the wrong place, at the wrong time? ;) There must be a few around Bury/Rochdale/Blackburn area??? D.

The black 225 up front couldnt have been trying this morning, joining the M66. Apart from the initial turbo uptake, we kept the same distance apart... I thought a 225 would have trounced a 182??? D.

That looks really good, imo. I agree with the rest of you - the black is a little OTT... D.
