    Clio Trophy Pic Thread

    That's my old car ...got rid of her in 2009....how is she?

    Some scummy f**k drilled into my petrol tank to steal the fuel!

    Slightly off topic but similar.... Years ago my sister-in-laws husband had a 205 GTi and one night somebody put two bricks under the rear while it was stood at the side of his house and stole both rear wheels. He came out in the morning to go to work, jumped in the car and...you know what...

    Gigabit Network?

    Flippin' 'eck that's a good price - Microdirect are selling them for £38-66

    Gigabit Network?

    The main point is not so speed up the internet. I don't expect it to have any effect as the ADSL modem is restricted to 10/100 anyway. I want to put a NAS box on the network and it's seems a waste to stick it on a 10/100 network. I also backup the machines over the network so I'm hoping that...

    Gigabit Network?

    Gigabit Network?

    But back to my original question - if I mix 10/100 devices and gigabit devices on the same network do all devices drop down to 10/100? If thats the case I buy a new gigabit switch, connect it to my adsl modem (with built in 10/100 switch - I can't change this it was supplied by sky) and it...

    Gigabit Network?

    I cant change the DG834 - it's provided by Sky and the Broadband settings are locked into the unit. I'm still within my first 12 months of the contract so I can't start "hacking" into it to try to get the user/password out of it. This means I'm stuck with this and its 10/100 network. That's...

    Gigabit Network?

    I work in IT and so I'm pretty computer literate, but networks aren't my strong point so I'd like to run something by people before I spend any money. I'm looking at buying a NAS box at some point for storing music etc etc and opinions on the web seem to be that NAS without gigbit network is...

    Ashton-Under-Lyne / Saddleworth

    I have to make trips to Rotherham for work and I dont use Woodhead any more, it's always full of lorries. The road over Saddleworth and through Holmfirth is always quieter (and quicker) - and the twisty bit going up onto the moors is a nice bit of road

    Ashton-Under-Lyne / Saddleworth

    There are 2 Trophy's in Stalybridge. I've got 64 and 74 belongs to a guy that lives up near Stalybridge Celtic. Its mostly when I'm walking home from the station that I see the CSL - if you see some maniac jumping up and down at the side of the road by the station it'll be me!

    Oldest Clio Owner?

    My sentiments exactly - I use the train to go to work so the Clio is my weekend toy.

    Trophy A5 heading towards Cannock

    Wednesday evening - just kept stopping, for no apparent reason, again and again. Then you don't know whether to stay in the fast lane or go into the middle lane, and whichever you choose the other ones starts moving while you're at a dead stop.

    Trophy A5 heading towards Cannock

    The whole area looked nice. I see a few RS Clio's and then there's always that dilemma - flash or not to flash

    Trophy A5 heading towards Cannock

    I was in Telford for the day - seems like a nice area compared to Manchester. The Satnav took me up the A5 which was a pleasant drive through the countryside, and then I got to the M6..............................

    Trophy A5 heading towards Cannock

    I was in Telford for the day, saw a few 1*2's but none for long enough to even see whether they were 172 or 182's. I've had the Trophy 4 months and been spotted twice now which is as many times as I got spotted in my 172 Cup in 2 years.

    Trophy A5 heading towards Cannock

    That would have been me going home back to Manchester. Trying to think of any 1*2's I saw....silver 172 or 182 going the other way?

    Vista & Ageing Gracefully

    I believe there is a fix out there somewhere for this but I found this very funny. I was copying some photos to a CD using Vista itself, and it took ages. However the time on the progress indicator was funny in itself: This was the worst one and it varied wildly. I think this was about...

    Where do i find the FCS entry photos?

    I couldn't make it to FCS this year but thought I'd have a look at what was there. Got down to the 08:30 - 08:45 entrances and found my 172 Cup that I traded in at the start of this month! She looks nice...miss her a bit....

    Finally decided...

    A bit OT here - but can I assume you've got Trophy 63? I've got 64!

    Finally decided...

    I've just gone from 172 Cup to a Trophy. If you can justify the extra cost of the Trophy over the Cup I'd say go for it - but obviously it's a big price difference. In a straight line the difference feels minimal. Around corners the Trophy feels more solid. Ignoring anything else - the...

    Blue 172 Cup Yesterday - Ashton

    sorry - had some PC probs last night. Suspect it wasn't me then :( I would have been going toward Ashton. Was probably the other HT53 reg Cup I regularly see around 'bridge.

    Blue 172 Cup Yesterday - Ashton

    May well have been me - I live in Stalybridge and was heading toward Ashton about that time and so went past Stamford Park. Trying to remember if I saw an M3......

    HT53 172 Cup Stalybridge

    There's also a nice looking blue valver (I think it is) I've seen a few times around Ashton, got alloys a bit like Turinis, nodded to the owner at the petrol station etc etc. It's a long time since I've been called a lad.....I'm 42

    HT53 172 Cup Stalybridge

    Yup, mines the blue Cup. Saw you a few weeks ago at the lights by PK Motor Spares, then again a couple of weeks later parked on Harrison Street up the road. It's like looking in a mirror.......

    HT53 172 Cup Stalybridge

    Up Ridge Hill, Stalybridge this morning. Parked on Harrison Street. Passed it a couple of times at about 12ish or 1 on my way to B&Q and coming back. Then saw it driving down towards the lights. Seen it once before at the same junction - are you local?
