2. Words that start with a vowel eg. A E I O U. Are always preceded by "an" not "a"!
3. Always use a capital "I"!
4. Comma's sometimes help to break up a sentence! ie between "off it" and, "the super glue" would have been a good place.
Instead of trying to be funny, which incidentally you're not! Why not spend a little time improving your writing skills?

Misty - I'm positive it was an FQ300 and not the 260 because of the larger spoiler and the carbon inserts in the rear spoiler. I'm sure the seats looked like the larger winged recaros rather than the smaller 260 ones. We stopped at the roundabout after and gave each other the thumbs up, that's when I had a quick peek!
Must say, I love Evo's. My STI is the stepping stone on to an FQ300 VII or VIII. His must have been standard, cos with an IK, exhaust and ECUtek he would have murdered me!

my mate phil had a yellow fq300, you might have seen it parked up ay the byker carwash a few months back before he crashed it!!
anyway, we had a play one day at a disused runway, and the results were this
drag starts = never bothered, evo driver doe snot want to break the diffs
20mph rolling start, cars equal up until approx 140 when the evo ran out of puff quite quickly, the 97 wrx sailed past with ease up until approx 160 where both cars looked pretty much the same, except mine was in front by some degree (5/6 car lengths).
the 97 wrx is a slightly different beasty from the 96sti, coming with more power and torque as standard (IIRC) plus i had done a few mods to my car.
we also did a few "twisty" type tests but these prove nothing really is the driver counts for a lot.
the fq driver then got his car remapped + exhaust mods and it was much, much better.

Names are always spelt with a capital letter.

Nick, I've had a bugeye. (****e) and a classic ppp (brilliant) But I find evo's so much better in every way. Couldn't put my finger on why, but would not have another scoob.

Over the years from watching best motoring videos, there's next to nothing in them.
A good one though was the evo vs impreza V7's video.
Nothing between the Spec C and evo rs out front, followed closely by the sti7 then an sti V3 and skyine R34 GTR.
Evo 5 was no where to be seen, 20-30seconds behind after a few laps. Evo 2 may as well not have bothered starting.
Of course these are all the jdm versions rather than the watered down stuff we get.

Hang on what do you mean 'another'?! You never informed me it was a condition prior to being pulled up on it.
