I was walking home from our local Sainsbury's down a road that ends at a T junction with our road. I saw a red pass by and when I turned the corner, His Lordship was in the drive. "Have you just got home?" I said to Mrs S. "No, I've been in about half an hour..." So it was another red Trophy...

Well, I'm neither a fanboy nor am I an employee. We have one on a three year lease. It's a 23 plate Trophy LR, and the lease is up towards the end of this coming July. It's done around 25K. Had the usual gripes with the steering wheel wrenchy wrenchy beepy beepy thing, but that went away with...

You mean the noise from the CL motors?

Sérieusement!

Just thought of another couple, but they may have been local to the North West. Drabble and Allen and John Wallwork.

Fun fact...Kenning were involved in the early development of Motorway services IIRC, Strensham was one. I remember Kennings signs there as a kid and well into my 20s. They put in a bid for Keele but lost out.

Remember Kennings, Wadham Stringer and Mann Egerton. I bought a Metro from Currie Motors in the 80s. "Nice people To Do Business With!". Just looked them up...they're still going!

We got our Honda from Vertu in Mansfield and found them good. The Stockport VW dealer me and my Mum went to when her Golf was written off by a 3rd party were terrible. Went in for a test drive and they took her licence away (they wanted to photocopy it) and completely disappeared for half an...

Lease car, not too bovvered!

Doesn't really do the muck justice but my OCD goes off to number 11 when I look at it.

That is AWESOME! Puts ours to shame...it's filthy...

The Kwik Fit chap showed me a Bridgestone tyre in the depot which was also very similar to the CC pattern. I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that... I guess that tread pattern with all the sipes is the most efficient at dealing with the white stuff.

By comparison, how much were the Michelin tyres?

Saw a grey London-registered MG4 SE on the B9076. Was it you? Oh, hang on, I was watching Shetland... ;) Edit: Just got the reg and looked it up. It's a Trophy ER.

We had two cars a few years ago that I wanted all season tyres for. We could get either CC2s or Bridgestone Weather Control A005 for our Honda (205/55/16), but the Bridges were way dearer. For the Mitsubishi Spacestar (195/55/15), at that time CC2s weren't available in that size, so I went...

No, I've just looked. I can get 4 x 18" CC2 tyres for our Trophy from National Tyre for £165.59 each including 10% off. Boy have they shot up in price since we last bought them. So far, I have not found CC3s in 18". Edit: Sorry, should have been more precise... So far, I have not found CC3s...

But in '76 even in Bonnie Scotland, you'd have had a few rays!

Yeah, when I was 10 in the really hot Summer of '76 in the UK (giving my age away now!) I did just that. Thought I'd cool down in the garden, got burnt instead.

One of my very few gripes about ours is that the door cards seem to scratch easily. In fact, the passenger side was already lightly marked on delivery. I would have mentioned it, but Mrs S said it wasn't worth it.
