Yep,

you could say that there are two, Evo 3695 and Mac-1 both in in the Evesham area. There is also one in Kidderminster, Mick Type R and a forth one that has been spoted a few times but has never regesterd with the site.

Was you parked at the Morton in Marsh train station a few weeks ago, If you were, my wife spotted you.

All you guys in the fire service have bloody cushy jobs apart from the hard men that have to go out on the coal face and fight fires. Oh by the way what is it you do.

Really glad it all worked out for you Marky considering the problems Kev used to have with it, often brought on by back street mechanics. I think it was up to 350bhp when Kev sold it. Presumably you've had it on RR by now.

What's it up to now ?

Hi Mick yes it doesn't pay to use cheap mechanics, saying that my local subaru dealer wasn't much use :roll: everyone i asked on here pointed me in the direction of RCM, where the issues where sorted straight away, they were so minor you wouldn't believe all brought on by the incompetant mechanic Kev used, and ive not looked back since :D and in Olly Clarks own words "ive now got a really nice blend of power/handling and braking to match" and its a real joy to drive :D
Not had it on the rollers yet, i had planned to wait till RCM move next year and get it on theirs, as the cars locked away for the winter.
