Chip, what u are saying about the AYC is so true. I remember the feeling in mine, it kinda "loads up, or Winds up" or something like that and you know that if you lift off the power, or steer to quickly, it will PING you off the road. I kinda remember promising myself I would only ever buy another Evo if it didn't have AYC so that it was more consistent.

Whose Evo is that in the pic with the dax?

Surfers paradise is tacky as hell and filled with Japanese tourists. Possibly the worst place I was on my entire Australian visit

well done blacky glad you got the quickest time of the day. I was on the tyne and wear rsoc stand and we had 31 cars on show and i think it was the biggest stand there. I had a really good day and the only thing i was pissed off with was all the jap cars on track. Last year there was loads of fords and this year it was like been at jap car show.

yes

well technically more of a case of i thought he had pulled out,and he hadnt, so i slammed brakes on to find my front end in his rear bumper

Skoda is fine just scratched a teeny bit, Nova however is slightly worse off

Have to say though your car amazed me, i didnt shut up about it all afternoon

Definitely want an Escos
