A Clio trophy (assuming real by the central twin pipes) in red/orange with an Evo sticker in the rear window and the plate T20 PHY. Anyone in here? Bit of a punt but not something you see everyday, especially round the corner from your house.

I might be going too far back but there was "BigWillyOwner" who had a Clio Williams. Can't remember the guys name, he rocked up to a few meets.

Are you thinking of Andy Bond?

I think Andy is more of a Megane 225 slut rather than a Clio kid, but yes, he had a 5 GT Turbo that Munkey nearly grenaded (massive exaggeration) at one point.

That's the fella. Found a really old picture. IIRC he was an absolute nutter behind the wheel

Some of my fondest memories from the 'EVO meet era' are being sat next to Mark while he went full meltdown. Guy knew how to pedal hard - drove everywhere like it was his own personal rally stage. Genuine GC.

Also spotted: CA11 HPE and a Cooper S on the way to Feckenham in a hurry 😎😃 I was going the other way, sat in a leather armchair listening to Rod Stewart in a diesel S class doing about 37mph. Never felt quite so old 😅 ... Until I saw a Caterham racing a motorbike towards Ombersley about ten mins later 😀

That’s a blast from the past, anyone still in contact with him?

Well it started quite a conversation that, I thought merv had a trophy at some point but he's had that 330 forever now so obviously not his and a bit far away too. Was just passing on the way out with Claire driving (not allowed for another few days after last weekends appendicitis op) so couldn't hang around. Maybe it will return and i'll try and flyer it with the classic club flyer. Good to see another obvious petrolhead around into modern classics.
