Default Evo 8 RS

Guys,

My mate just picked me up in his Evo 8 RS. I must say it is probably one of the best cars i have EVER been in. Its a white one, carbon fibre bonnet, mirrors, skirts, front and rear splitters and spoiler. has APs all round, coilovers. Running 370bhp. Very quick car. might sell the saff to get one ill get sum pics up asap

And a mitsubishi garage in between for a service

Seriously good cars though, my brother in law has an 8 GSR and it feels really good from the passenger seat, he offered me to take it for a spin, but I daren't, might want to get rid of the cossie afterwards
