Evo back on the drive

[adamlstr]

I'm being really pedantic here - and as awesome as the above is, I'd rather go for the JDM Zero Fighter. Iirc, pretty much identical spec to the Extreme but with hideous decals - being a WW2 geek AND having a Mitsubishi nod back to one of their greatest flying creations - I'd have to have one!

edit - only just noticed adalis's post a few back about the Zero Fighter. Should have read it before posting!

The extreme did have those decals, my old man junked them. :up:

Lol - they were a definite Marmite addition. It's a strange one for me. I'd never pick those decals as an 'option' - but if I bought a 6 with them on (a genuine one, that is) - I'd be happy to leave them on there.

I miss the lines on my 6. It had such a purposeful and slightly aggressive stance. It had SO much road presence and it felt like an event just taking it out to the shops. I ironically received an email this morning, offering me "to feel the excitement" on the new Nissan LEAF. That's like giving a opened can of flat Tango to a chronic piss-head, who drinks his meths by the bucket - while the drink itself is on fire. How any conceivable human being with an ounce of soul, feeling, emotion and heart-felt passion for driving could get ANY excitement from a LEAF, is utterly beyond me.

I do actually feel a little bit sorry for the Nissan marketeers. Tasked with the impossible job of promoting these four-wheeled heaps of shite to people like me - I don't know where the poor sods even begin.

I would LOVE to put a VI on the drive, but finding one that's not rotten is such a task these days. That and the fact it would sit on my drive unloved Mon-Fri. I couldn't do it.

Then, there's the interior. 😂

Now then. You've been on here as long as I have and you might have seen my general consensus of not giving a flying monkey bollock about the interior of car. Sure, a nice interior is exactly that - something nice. But as plasticy and mundane as the Evo's cockpit is - it would never in a month of Sundays put me off buying another one.

Interiors are massively over-rated anyway. I'd rather be looking out of the windows and driving the car, than sat still inside it, thinking the seat stitching looks smart.... :smile:

Haha, don't get me wrong. I subscribe to the same ideas as you. I drive a 2000's Honda ffs.




But, man's got limits. 😂


We digress, much EVO love right here. Always. :beers:
