Default Went in a Evo8 MR FQ-340 on Friday

My ex-boss traded his Boxster S in for one of these last week. What a fantastic car, very well put together with lots of toys to play with. The way it stuck to the road and went around the corners was amazing.
There's even a built in speed camera detector.

Anyone else been in one?

I have mate, makes travelling at silly speeds seem like pottering, a real licence loser.

Brilliant though.

Nick,

I actually own an Red MR FQ340 as an every day car. I have also owned a MY02 WRX and an MY03 Sti PPP (Yes The Bugeye), and I can honestly say that not once have I been sorry that I bought the Evo.

Now I am not saying that Scoobys are bad because they are not, I still have a real soft spot for them. You guys had a massive get together about 10 mins from my house ( Southern Big One), and I actully had a quiet drive by just to have a look. I did feel a little out numbered, but I still enjoyed have a sneeky look at some of your cars.

If you want any more info, either PM or email me.

Cheers
Daz

I think it looks better than an STi8 in a less max power way. Very nice...
