Default EVOLUTION VII

I was going to sell this car a few months ago , but decided to keep hold of it, unfortunately now I have a dilemma.
I've just got a work contract that means the car would sat doing nothing for pretty much nearly a year, so the time has come to let it go.
IMHO this is the best car I have ever owned and I'll be really sad to see it go, but I'll definately have another one next year.
spec listed below. I'd like to sell this car complete please as feel its a good combination of modifications, without going too OTT
more pictures can be supplied on request

2001 Y Plate Evo VII GSR
All the usual GSR toys + rare as rocking horse s**t factory fitted electric sunroof
18" Matrix Shadows with toyo proxes , wheels could do with a refurb but tyres are virtually new.

Cheers Conrad, I'll be back with something new next year, just seems a shame to keep it locked up if I'm not going to use it

Hi Steve. to be honest, the way I use my car I much prefer the ride, handling and of course the power of the Evo, but you dont get that nice burble like you do from a boxer engine. My Evo just screeeeeams like a banshee when you floor it . Had a great ride out the last few days to get to where I was working, over loads of twisty country roads and it made me feel like keeping it and just using it when I could, but the car is meant to be driven and not just to get an outing once a month

I've not worked on Emmerdale for a few years now Steve, I find it a very boring job. I've been doing more dramas & commercials. I recently did the world cup opening titles for the BBC coverage which was good.


v5 man.. make me an offer
