In 5 years time my Evo will be 8 years old and still have newer technology than my Escos which would be 17 years old...... think about it
hmm thats a good point, but will it have the respect a cossies got? how about u think about that

Respect against technology..... Respect doesn't make a car perform better, think about that

I have an EVO 8 and its absolutely bloody awsome, went to Brunters last weekend and there wasn't much keeping up with my jap crap, ragged the arse off it all day, donuts at the end, and its bringing me to work without even so much as a wash

having said that ...... the only car I have ever loved was my Escort Cossie and will probably get another one someday!

and its not compoota's that drive an EVO either, or if it is then they must of been on holiday on Saturday as my 3 black flags will show LOL!
