Aye.. we were hanging around for a good hour!!! And as the crowds started growing, the atmosphere was getting a bit dodgy.... we thought we were gonna get car-jacked at one point! hahaha
The Evo was super quick, it really surprised me! It had no trouble keeping up with the Lambo and Ferraris! Apparently it was some Jap import, it had a few mods like air-filter and stuff, and he kept pouring octane boost into it when he was filling up, oh and a stainless steel through exhaust...
It was costing €140 a go to fill the 575M up!! I lost count the amount of times we had to stop to re-fuel....
In fact, the second photo where the cars are in the Total garage, the Lambo was running on air... the garage was shut, and would only take cards, but none of our cards worked...

I thought it was about time I posted up some pics from Le Man! As you can see we had a pretty mean convoy on the go! Surprisingly quick were the EVO and SL55, best exhaust note was the Lambo and 430, which were actually shooting...
Cheapest option would be to pick up a decent low mileage 172, I dont think theres a huge amount of difference between them all, and youll be saving yourself a few quid!

Thats a bloody good price, I wouldnt feel too disheartened that its an import for that price!
If you phone around a few dealers you might get different answers on warranty work too.

Apologies, I didnt realise they had front anti-roll bars too......
Front wheel drive cars would normally have rear anti-roll bars, and rear wheel drive cars normally have front anti-roll bars.
Which is why a front wheel drive car will normally lift a rear wheel when cornering hard!
I was gonna say, I remember them being about £13k new...
I can remember an old car mag doing a "Dont buy" "Do Buy" section, and they said "Dont Buy - Williams" but "Do buy - 1.8 16v" , basically because they couldnt justify the extra money for the performance!!! Mind you. I think it was a...
