Just put a deposit on this. Forgive me lord as I have sinned
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.

14000+ post superhero
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.

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
