Default Sold my Evo

So, I took a deposit on my EVO VIII MR FQ300 the other night. Guy will be taking it off my hands sometime over the next two weeks.

Had the EVO for just over two years and really enjoyed it. It was a big change from the S2000 that i had for almost three years before that.

Looking back i've decided that the S2000 has been my favourite car that i've owned so far. The EVO had crazy power, great handling and road presence and turned lots of heads. The S2000 also had all of those things except for the crazy power - plus it was considerably cheaper to run.

I had always wished that Honda had made an S2000 Coupe but sadly they never did and it looks like they'll now never make anything good again.

So, my next car will be the closest thing that i can get to an S2000 Coupe which is a BMW Z4 Coupe. Now that i've done the big power thing i'm even going to chill out a bit and buy the 3.0si Sport one rather than the full-bhuna M version. There is a recession on after all.

That is all

If you're gonna buy a huge dildo, at least make sure it's the M version.

You'd look a right limp dick without it...

Glad you enjoyed the Evostick (and the S2000).

Also, I agree about Honda; nice while it lasted...

Similar money for the Z4M and 3.0, running costs higher with the M, but not much, plus you get better brakes, steering and many say a better ride with the M because the 3.0 comes with awful RF tires

Why?

I owned an S2000 & did 80K miles in it, now own an M3 & think a Z4M is a step up
