Graham,

Now imagine the aggressive styling (sorry Rich ha ha) with nigh on the same chassis and brakes and performance and you have an Evo6 - not that i am biased of course

Sorry didnt stick around last night to give you a blast... next time..

I am very lucky to have an EVO 6, and a Caterham superlight.

If you really want to drive fast around a track for giggles, there's nothing like a Caterham Super 7 superlight, it puts a grin on your face for a week. Had a mate who I let take it around Donno a few weeks ago, now he's getting one...

The scooby/EVO's are fab car's though, v. safe, v.good in the wet, v.good handling.

...and there's nothing like the scoob burble.
(They sound better than the EVO, IMHO)

Paul.

OMG we're travelling backwards in time

Can those people who posted in November please let me know what the next 3 weeks lottery numbers are.

Back on topic, I'd be seriously thinking about an Evo 7 as my next car. I'll test the Sti 7 mind.

Annoying thing is, the famous exhaust note is due to unfortunate design compromises i.e. unequal manifold lengths! Put an efficient system on and you banish the burble!
