Well, plenty of people knew I was after an Evo, and today was the day I went shopping. It's an awesome car.
I want to give it a proper clean and take some decent photo's, but a few people have been asking me for pics, so here's a few taken by the previous owner:

Oh, it's got me grinning alright :D
The insurance surprised me. They only charged me £130 on top of my £300 gtt premium. So that's £430 fully comp', which I'm not going to grumble at too much :cool:
that does look nice :agree:

:laugh: I wondered how long it would take :D
Originally I didn't want a 6, because I didn't want to copy the bully. Then when I changed my mind, I decided I didn't want that colour, so I wasn't copying :ashamed:
Now to top it all off, where did I pick it up from? Yep, literally less than one minute away from Mart's old place in Dartford :scared: :laugh:
It's quite a clean car. Not as clean as the "near concourse" one that I was eyeing up. But thinking sensibly, if I bought that one I'd never be able to keep it THAT clean, so it would be a bit of a waste, and a shame. I quite like the wheels, but they're 18", and I want 17's. Still, they might stay for a while because I can't get 17's on due to the brakes:

true, but I thought I could get them retrimmed to match the interior of the Twingo.
For lightweight I just bought a Recaro Carbon/Kevlar pro race seat, I hope I can get my manly physique in it, it looks like it's made for a snake hipped racing driver:D

You took the words right out of my mouth, or should that be off of my text? :laugh:
Al, it's pretty standard: Just an exhaust and filter.
Very nice Bill. I'm sure it feels nice and lively. :cool: Look forward to seeing it. No doubt you'll be around one or two trackdays before the year is out.
Talking of which... http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=9885 ;)
Yeah, yeah, I know. Just posted on that thread............as Josh now tells me "OK! OK! Keep ya 'air on!!":wasntme:

Al, it goes fairly well. I've not bought it to use as a track toy, but I'm sure I'll bring it along for a "paddock polish" one day ;)
