Despite my usual ranting about overweight cars, I will admit to really liking these. I think they look great, and they sound wonderful. 317kw helps too.

I need a ute!! I could use it for carting around all the missus' shopping bags, I guess. They tend to roll around in my Clio, as there are no back seats. Not too sure about the colour, but what a beast! Nice cheeky little Clio 200 sitting next to it too.

Yo James, that Clio is this Clio http://www.madwhips.com/renault-clio-cup/ It belongs to a mate in the Porsche Club. He sold his 1969 911 to buy it. I sat in it, very impressive. Great seats, nice wheel, all the bells'n'whistles. He's very happy with it.

I've been trying to source a set of Clio 197 seats for the Trophy (I'm guessing they're the same Recaros) - can't find 'em anywhere for less than £1500. Apparently they're a straight swap and not much of a headache. Absolutely gorgeous, too!

I know the owner of that ute. The engine has been supercharged by Tom Walkinshaw Motors and puts out something like 700hp. Also has a manual gearbox.... good stuff! The owners father owns some very quick Porsches and he was raving about the GRUNT this ute has.

Yo Gman993 ! Thanks for that. Very interesting. Good to see that he's left it stock visually. A sleeper indeed. You're not Graeme from jaggad are you ?

Sure am. I enjoy checking out your photos from time to time. I was actually looking yesterday to see if you had taken any photos from the Shannon's Classic at Eastern Creek on the weekend, as I couldn't make it out there? Cheers Graeme

Hi Graeme, I wanted to get out there but I was just too sick. I was too have taken Rob's 914 but the chemo effects are still hanging around. I have good days and no so good days. That's why I haven't been at the last few Car Club meetings. Oh well. See you soon, Mark.

Hi Mark. Well look after yourself and hopefully I will see you at an event soon. There is a Motorkhana on this weekend if you can make it. Cheers, Graeme

By the way Mark, I was out cycling with the owner of this ute this morning and suggested he check out this site to see your photos. Cheers again Graeme
