evo has been fine when needed, with not working its not used as much however it does the job. I took some new pictures the other day at pennington flash, car park was empty when I was leaving so I tried the donut abilities by using snow mode

If I get some good news a week on monday then its coming off the market again, had a 2nd interview the other day, got very good feedback from all 3 of them, been invited back wc 13th dec for a tour and to meet a director

Thats a pity Jay - still an Evo 6 would be nice

Hope the job side of things turns out OK for you.

Have you seen the Evo Fail on You Tube where it comes off the rolling road? Well funny

yes seen that Si, it sounds promising re this job, the agency rang me yesterday after speaking with the client and they said I have lots of potential so thats positive. Will miss the car though if it goes as it is awesome, however I do have my eyes on a few at present one is a red 8 similar power to mine but a bit more torque, and the other is a blue 7. Then there are a few 6's a bit further afield, the 6's look menacing in white!

Also like the megansport 225, they handle really well kart like and put power down well which surprised me

Had a good chrimbo present, i have got the job, start on the 4th

Going to try a megansport 225 lux with stage 1 remap, kicking out about 265bhp, bit more economical than the evo. Will be back in an evo 1 day though, just need to prepare for the future better

job is project implementation. The company is introducing a new it system globally so they need to transfer existing processes to suit the new system and to also tailor the system in an efficient way. The plan is the UK will set the standards (no pressure then) and then the likes of singapore and the usa will adapt to suit. 2nd day there we have a meeting with the software developer so its going to be a busy first day (which i like!) MY job is to look at exisitng process and port them over and tweak them to the new system (which i have some knowldege of), and also a superuser level of support.
