You know I have thought about a trophy before but I was not struck on the colour. I had only ever seen one on pictures before but then I saw one in the flesh and it looked wonderful.
If you havent seen one, make a point of tracking one down and going to see it.
Remember - It costs nothing to...
If you see his bike unattended take a bolt cutter to his chain, slash his tyres and remove something from it, then push it over. (Just make sure your engine is running when you do it!)
This angers me! If I saw anyone do this to my car id end up in jail. When i read stuff like this is makes my...
A diesel! - oh my oh my. Since the dawn of time they have been boring.
Its very satisfying seeing the needle the rev needle in a hot hatch hit 7 and 8rpm and listening to the engine and exhaust noise and the car is still pulling.
In a diesel you hear a caveman chewing on coal and the power...
Everything you say comes from Evo like they are all the Jesus' of motoring journalism.
On the flip side of the coin ill quote another mags writeup to cancel out some of the rubbish evo spirt out. (i really should get round to cancelling evo subscription)
AUTOCAR - They've chosen their best...
I was being realistic, not pedantic.
Modding lightly i can understand but going all out to make a 1.2 identical to a 1*2 is something I don't get. All the cash spent on mods probably would pay for insurance on a real one.
Im not calling peoples cars here, infact some of the mod's done are...
Points for speeding dont effect the insurance that much.
Its only if you have had a smash, or been drink driving and such like that your premiums go sky high.
Personally I don't see the point in modding a 1.2. I was reading a thread on here before and some people have roll cages in, made...
Using white text was a bit of a strange one.
Nice car, shame it was always broken.
Seems like it was like Triggers Broom. "4 new heads and 5 new handles"
The M3 is fast turning into a ford mondeo. Everybody has one (except me). Drug Dealers have them, Gypsys even have them (serious) and I wouldnt be suprised if people on benefits have them too.
No question, the BM has a far superior build quality, better engine and goes faster.
However, your...
Re: SHOULD I GET ANOTHER CLIO 197?? RUNNING COSTS!!
Bollox!! - If your doing motorway miles there is noway your getting 23mpg. If you are its broken mate. I went on a 500mile round trip over the holidays and averaged 29.8 mpg in my R27 and that was at 90mph most of the way with 2 passengers...
Pouring water on is fine when its zero degrees or -1 but when its -6 like it has been round here you go back in to put your jug back and when you get back its frozen again!
I am a 197 R27 owner and will give an honest opinion on the car you would be getting. In terms of practicality its pretty decent. You have an ample usable boot, plenty space in the back with or without the recaros. Obviously the car only comes in two door. I don' know if you have kids but I...
Warren, i never saw that evo article and I have subscription to evo.
I have seen the numerous 197 reveiws though, and they all prefer the 197 over the trophy and so they should, its an improvement.
Back to topic though, id rather have a trophy over a cupped 182.
