I went to view #422 at the Angel of the North 220 miles round trip and wait 2 weeks before making the 230mile round trip to collect it. The 2 week delay was due to the V5 and a plate transfer but it was worth it for the days I get to exploit the T to the max.
Trophy seeking travels ?
- Thread starter Ashtons99
- Start date
My friend who owned the car drove it to my door, so 0 miles 
I wasn't necessarily looking for a Trophy at the time (other RenaultSport products were also on the radar), but I knew he had it for sale and couldn't resist after a test drive - Part of which was on the A18 mountain road in the IOM (so basically a race track with no speed limit).

I feel I should get back over there at some point soon! There are some great roads to be enjoyed, including the unrestricted sections on the TT circuit). Some of the back roads will give the Sachs a bit of a battering though!!!!
EDIT: I'm sure I have some vids somewhere... will see if I can dig them out later.
I'm probably headed back in In a month or two, if so I'll try to organise something.
There's more to the isle than just unrestricted roads. Not a lot, admittedly, but there's beer and beaches and people with strange names...

Indeed! I used to head over each year with my old car club (for a week) and we'd pretty much explore the entire island. Real nice place to enjoy the roads and, well, to relax and unwind.
(Sadly I can't find the videos... I probably have them backed-up somewhere but goodness knows where!)

About a 380 mile round trip for me. Didcot to Leeds and back again. Shared the driving on the way up in the Scooby and drove the Trophy back with my mate following. Loved every minute. Think he did too.
Likewise. Can't believe I haven't seen you about already.
