True, they probably figured it was an injustice that a lowly mitsubishi was infront of them. I'm just lucky it was a Q5 and not an R8 :P

Are baby wipes safe for our leather steering wheels? Just want to make sure before I clean it with them.

UWA has some sweet rides. There is a lotus with "project" somewhere in the number plate, a Jag with "J4guar", a heap of BMWs, Mercs (all black lol) a few worked cars, mainly skylines. I never saw an R8 at uni... :(

I wonder if they are looking for another son....

My mates brother has a Lambo (can't remember which one). He also won a golf contest and the prize was to attend a Ferrari track day! I'm tempted to lock him up and steal his ticket...

Ok so random thought... i'm thinking of selling my RA and buying an Evo VII.

Pro #1 - it's an EVO, my dream car :)
Pro #2 - my car loan would be half what it is now :D
Pro #3 - EVO, EVO, EVO... muahaha *biggrin1*
Pro #4 - i can choose a colour other than black.

Con #1 - not the best everyday drive car?
Con #2 - losing my RA, which i love despite it not being an Evo.
Con #3 - older model Lancers not as luxury/comfortable as CJ's, Evo or otherwise...
Con # 4 - resale value once the km's go up on the Evo

Opinions? Should i do it?

In a word - no.

Having driven the 6, 7, 8, 9 and owning the 10 I can say that despite my boy racer heart, had i ever bought one prior to the X it would have put me off for life.

The ride is HARD.

HARD.

The road noise is LOUD.

LOUD.

5 Speed manual kinda sucked as well...

They are very cheap interior wise and the old cast iron block from a late 90's Evo will be showing its age and needing alot of looking after.

Its your cash and I was in the same place a few years ago so i get it but with hindsight I am glad i skipped it.

The RA is funnily enough the best of both worlds as a couple of small mods make it comfortable AND fast...

Come out for a drive in my Evo sometime... Fast yes, practical no
I have a 3 year old son who KNOWS i should drive faster! So why do i get fined?!?
