Could well have been me mate, drove up that way this morning but depends what time? I'd have thought I'd have spotted you though!! By the way, I forgot to post at the time, but pretty sure I spotted you in Brighton a while back heading towards the Pier past the pavillion? I was stuck in a...

I reckon everyone should have to drive at least one real duffer as they are fun in a completely different way. I had a mk2 997cc polo at 19 and it was so slow that you could drive it literally flat out everywhere without breaking the speed limit. Taught me a hell of a lot as with no brakes...

Good call that man. It's still for sale waiting for another good home. I'll miss it when it's gone, but it won't be forgotten. Someone could bag a bargain here as she's got to go this week. Make me an offer. Cheers, Olly P.S - Does make the ff 182 seem a bit overpriced imo.

My uncles got a maroony coloured Turbo 2, A reg and lives in Hove. Think he keeps it garages at Haywards Heath somewhere so could have been him? They're great cars, he's got cream recaros and it still looks the nuts. Tricky on the limit but great fun to drive, the turbo whine sounds great.

Was me buddy, probably on the way back from the perils of Asda's car park. Dangerous place!

Depends how low you're talking Tom. Having seen Matt's car in the flesh, the 10mm drop makes a helluva difference. Makes my Trophy look like it's on stilts. I can stand the idea of lowering something enough to ruin the dynamics of the car, but I think a modest drop in most circumstances can look...

Won't be long till they're coming under 13k I'd have thought. Still only seen a couple on the roads too. They do look better in the flesh though, and having been chased and followed them at the Renaultsport day at Brands this year they can definitely shift. Just not tinny enough for me. If I...

Very useful to know ^^^^^^ good tip for the future in case some scumbag tries anything

I'm with directline at the mo, just got a qoute from Greenlight that came back at about 30% cheaper, plus they are not charging anything for my blueflame exhaust (if and when it arrives from the recent group buy!) only thing is it get's cheaper again when I hit 25. Currently they are quoting me...

Was me indeed, have seen a few of the other Brighton Trophy's around recently but we're always heading in different directions so never get to have a natter. Think a couple of them are oblivious to both forums. Shame as I think there's def 3 in Brighton, could be 4 now.

The fact that people following get mighty scared by the fact that I'm 3 wheeling most of the time round the bends. It always makes me smile.!

He's based down on the South Coast and the posts he's made on Cliotrophy.co.uk all seem pretty genuine. Sounds like he just a Clio nut that's started turning a profit on them. From the posts I've read, he enjoys his driving and is trying to establish himself as a RS specialist. Prob worth...

I bought the Trophy because it had back seats and a boot. I've been hankering for a 255 V6 since they came out, but unless I want to run a battered old diesel as well or suddenly win the lottery it's just not going to happen. I'm amazed at how much grip you can get from the Trophy and the lack...

My Trophy is often seen looking terracotta/brown if it's been a bit wet and i've been round a few country lanes! Or could have been you were wearing some sunglasses mate. My Oakleys make everything look like it's covered in tea.
