Very nice! Get it from Burton on Trent by any chance?

 

[Knuckles]

Ohmyfuckinggod that is epic!

I really want to come on the rally just for that!

@Ash. @Hawk182 and @Carbonraider are doing the Rico rally this year too. I'm jelly they're going to see this

 

[Hawk182]

You'll have plenty of room in that on the Rico rally then!
myself @Ash. And @Carbonraider are also on the June run it can't come soon enough

Yes, narrowly missed it on the MLR, so did a deal with the trader and paid slightly more but car worth every penny

[Hawk182]

[The Chubby Pirate]

Amazing! Were these import only?

 

[fixedgear]

Correct, beginning to rise in value like most Evolution's have already

[Philip.]

They're good guys, been in contact with me most days!

 

[basket491]

Yes quite possibly near the train station I think ?

 

[imprezaworks]

Family car, winning

Looks awesome, rare too

 

[realnumber 1]

That's mint. Never seen an estate before.

 

[imprezaworks]

Never seen one in the flesh. Ooooh and 400bhp too, fast

 

[MarkX]

Not many in the UK, such a fantastic car. All the best with it, but the mod bug will bite hard lmao

 

[Craig]

Such an epic family barge

 

[fixedgear]

Has a snap-off OMP wheel too

 

[fixedgear]

I've been around Evo's for 12 years now (work & play) so it's nice to be excited by one for a change

 

[Knuckles]

2500 made in total iirc. No idea how many were imported over here.

 

[JP83]

Why didn't you get this earlier and come in this last Sunday?!

Epic car. I love a mad estate.

 

[fixedgear]

Why didn't you get this earlier and come in this last Sunday?! :tongueout:

Epic car. I love a mad estate.

Sorry! Will try and come next time and bring it

 

[fixedgear]

That's what I understand too.
I guess somewhere there is a figure for how many in UK

 

[fixedgear]

Actually, that won't work.
On the V5, this car is 'Mitsubishi' and that's it :tongueclosed:

 

[Jason_E]

This is frigging awesome. I'll also have to do one of those Rico Rallys at some point!

 

[fixedgear]

My Co-director did the June 2015 in an Orange R35 GTR. He sais it was great fun, hence why we're both going this year

 

[Crybert]

That is awesome! Some proper expensive modifications there too

 

[Ant1]

Nice motor? I take it you got the car from a trader rather than the original owner who sold it 10 days ago?

 

[adamlstr]

That's the f**king b****cks. Congratulations.

I'm getting my Integra through those guys :up:

Also, what?!?

 

[Philip.]

That's the f**king b****cks. Congratulations.


Also, what?!?

I might have bought an Integra, lol!

 

[TimR26]

That looks great, never seen one of those before.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

LOL @ that.

What a plate.


Cool car too.

 

[Matt W]
