Hi jambo ! :wave:

Welcome to the zoo ! :lol:

Surprised you wanna move to a 4d. I also got a 4d when we got Osama Bin Torrekens but recently (he's just 6) figured that this is the moment I could still enjoy a 2d coupe. When he's 14, it might be a bit harder to sit him in the back of a 911 or a 650Ci.

Hence why I got an Evo 9 now :rofl:

Maybe you want to consider an Evo 9 FQ380 instead.

There is a member here who's got one for sale (Spike "THE LEGEND" Mike XXX).

It's 3 months old, FQ320, black and has received a brake upgrade and has been remapped by the former mapper of the Ralliart WRC team. Thing has 380bhp and 365lbft now.

Understand he wants a Shelby Mustang.

Think he sells for something like 25K, which is a real bargain considering the car with mods was about 32-33K. :wink:

True. If you like a car to be hassle-free motoring: get a scoob.

If you approach every trip to the supermarket like a rallystage, get the Evo.

Thanks for the warm welcome,

Ive taken the evo out for test drives love the car but for every day car a bit stiff and rigid, must say its got to be the wr1 but i havent test drove one yet. kt greens have 1 in i'm thinking of going for a drive in that, its up for 20995 33k i would preferably want a low miler, just e-mailed peak performance they have one due in.

wr1 owners are they a comfortable every day use car.

did 1700 miles in scotland last month, no back aches or like, and a lot of the roads were very twisty, and a bit bumpy :wink:

Used to drive an STi with same suspension as the WR1.

Drove back from Finland mid september (see "Road Trip" treads). 2000 miles on 2.5 days. Only stopped to take petrol really or take a ferry. Drove all the time otherwise, didn't have any issues.

If you're after a car to much lots of miles in good comfort... You might wanna consider a Merc S-class, not a scoob or Evo though :rofl:

That may be because you have a lot of body padding :lol:
