Nothing wrong with a mitsubishi!

[alanbradley]

I didn't mean it that way! I know there's nothing wrong with a Mitsubishi... I meant that it was a shame it was a Mitsubishi because it may mean we see less of Rico at meets and on here, not that it was a crap car or anything.

No offence was meant and I wasn't slagging the car - sorry...

No offence taken mate, i kinda knew what you meant but i didn't think i'd really be missed!! :(

Seems like there are loads of new people on TOC these days anyway, Every time i log on i see a new name...

If I remember correctly the "moving spoilers" are like the active spoilers on a supra ..

Correct, at 50mph the rear spoiler rises and a lip lowers from under the front bumper not unlike the supra.

More piccys...

[Karma Supra]

I was reading a Top gear book of "crap cars" last night...

The GTO was between the Yugo Sana, and the rover 800

A bit harsh I thought!!!

They also had the Subaru XT because the $WD system is not permanant, not does it kicki in whena loss of traction is detected.. no, the $WD cuts in and is triggered by........... -operating the windscreen wipers!!!!

[Scottish_SR]

Doh, dont know how I missed this post earlier! Nice car Rico! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

[ricomr2]

Cheers Ross, should have it at the meet on sunday...

[Bibbs]

Why are so many people saying "it's a pity it's a mitsi"? what's wrong with them? Not many people turn down a ride in an EVO?

I would :P

Mike, its the 3.0ltr 24v n/a, has around 225bhp which is plenty for me as its gonna be a flashy baby carrier so wont get hammered much ;)
