Never thought i would go jap but put a deposit today on this.....



Seen it in a local dealership this week and as it was the fq-360 and im 23 i thought i best check with elephant 1st. Anyway its £100 cheaper to insure than my escort cossie lol

So went down last night to have a test drive and OMG what a car. I know you can get faster cars but 360odd bhp with 3yrs come back is hard to beat.

Ive been struggling to get much interest in my escort so i thought i would try them with a px. Obviously they struggled to come near the price but to help me they are taking the car, and having it in their show room for sale and trying to sell it for me. Good service hey lol

I was a little worried about the de-valuation on um but been a pre reg they have knocked almost 7 1/2 k off the list price for me and giving me all the options like the floor and boot mats, carbon mirros, gearknob and hand break thing.

Well happy. It dosnt have the appeal of a old ford but shit me is it fast.

ill pop down to redditch and you can give me a spin when you get it

Looks awesome

 

Wow those wheels look shit!

Fucking great car though mate!

 

You won't regret it!

That is an air diffusion thing my good man lol. yeah looks a little silly. I like the wheels though. think they look rally slag lol

Went in my mates 411 bhp ATW evo 9 the other day. Handling was amazing. Expected it to be faster in a straight line, but was still lightning quick

 

tbh i cant think of much to 100 with it in standard form. If anyone is interested in the escort i can still sell it private though

jamie

 

Is that the said car? or just a generic photo?

 

na its silver the one ive had

jamie

 

nice mate

 

Great buy
Thats what ill be getting when i sell my escos

 

Cracking car Tonks....

 

my mate has just sold his type R and bought an evo 9. although his is the lowly 260 model im sure it will give me more of a run for my money than his honda did when we race nice cars none the less and id much prefer one of these to a subaru.

 

well done.

ive also put a deposit on an evo today,guys off on holiday tonite so i will pick it up when he returns,never had one before that wasnt damaged so should be fun.

 

Welcome to the dark side Tonks You won't regret it

PT

Your mate with the 9.... wouldn't be James with the white 9 who comes from Welshpool would it?

 

definately worth getting

 

Nice choice. The Evo looks brilliant mate, I hope you enjoy it

 

Looks the nuts mate!

 

Good choice , one of those will be on my driveway or an E46 M3 next year hopefully. Would be sooner but I can't bring myself to part with the RS.

 

They only did the 260 model in the 8....

 

theres no sinned there mate

 

You will really enjoy it mate,

great cars with plenty of power to play with

mike

 

Good choice

 

Thats the lad James Owen, am good friends with his brother, is he on MLR

 

Yep... his username is swiftmetal. Me and another MLR member Charlied, met James up at Oulton Park a few weeks back, also James came on the Shropshire meet that Charlie & I organised on MLR. James has booked Dono for the 22nd, along with me, Charlie and Andy.... should be a nice little convoy leaving Shropshire a week tomorrow

 

Nice one, he is a nice lad. I went in the car when he let his brother have it for the weekend He was saing how much he was loving it when I had a pissed conversation with him the other week. And cant get enough of the track days, he used to have a really nice dark blue one as well

 

Nice car

 

Lovely car Tonks mate. Fair play to ya fella. Hope to see you soon in it

 

Jammy git

 

i'd give my left testicle for one of those.

but i'd give my right one for one of the new 2008 evo's

 

the wheels look better in real life than in pics so dont worry mate.

It will be an amazing car mate

 

How long before some twat has that bonnet vent on a fiesta. lol

 

very nice car.

but,imo, the wheels don't suit it.

 

Cool car

What do you do?

2 cossies then 1 cossie + evo 9 360 at 23?!

Cant believe the evo is cheaper to insure too!

 

My Evo is less to insure than the cossie was and all mods are declared

 

the bollox, 360 standard

 

you're 23?! how the hello do you afford that!

 

foget about that shit of sinning, if i remember right thats the only way we get forgivness and get in to heaven,so lets all sin.

 

LOVELY car mate.

Same age as me too, lol but i dont have an evo just yet....
