Default My new car (not a Ford)

Ok here is the latest purchase.

Picked it up a week past Tuesday and have to say its ticking all the boxes so far.

I still have and always will have a Cosworth in the garage for fun but i was looking for something that i could use every day and still get some driving pleasure out of so here it is.

My entry into Evo ownership

It is a VII RS2 FQ300

I bought it from a member of this board so anyone that knows him will know that his cars are always the best of the bunch and this one was no different. Credit goes to him for keeping it soooo mint

Heres a few pics.


Hope you all enjoy



On the way home




And after a good clean yesterday

We're both missing this car more than we imagined

All that lovely sunshine today and we both so wanted a drive out in the Evo, but it wasn't there I've got a very shiny car as Karl is getting withdrawl symptoms from the lack of recent polishing

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Looks stunning.

Caroline.

Thanks for all the nice comments folks

The wheels definitely make the car and are what probably sold it TBH as it stood out so much from the rest of them


Caroline,

I am enjoying it big time ATM

Credit to Karl for keeping it in such good condition

Paul,
Glad to see your happy with it!!!!

I am missing it very much, but i guess alot of it is due to me been carless

If i cant find the right Ecos, im going to start looking at Evo's again, and again i'll sauce some BBS's!!

It's one of theeeee nicest 7's in the UK IMO


PS.... Guess you'll be wanting my sig now LOL

V Nice matey

So what can you do to them to tune them - are they easy to tune, or are they v expensive....

Often wondered about replacing the cossie with one of these
