Bjorn,

Thought you'd been persuaded to keep it m8.

Anyone interested, this is one of the best examples out there. Even compared to the late turbo's.

Ed_harasym · 26-01-2004, 08:58

Beautiful looking example Bjorn. Want my new Turbo to be as good.

What model Evo are you after? My mate has a 6 and its amazing I love it too bits.

Ed

Huey220 · 26-01-2004, 11:55

Cheers guys

Stu, I was umming and erring whether to keep it - but I've always wanted an Evo, and now the Coupe is sorted I think its a good time to sell before I spent anymore.

Ed, my budget will only stretch to a 1, 2 or 3 (preferably 2 or 3) - they're not the best looking of the Evo's but I'm more after the driving experience

.

Cheers

Ed_harasym · 26-01-2004, 12:15

I think you'd be more than happy with a 2 or 3, he used to have one before the 4,5 and 6

, amazing cars mate for the experience. I'm deffo going down the same route after playing with the new Tomcat Turbo for a bit.

PS is a scooby not on the list? Mate just got rid of an RB5, and that was very sweet to drive.

Ed

Panavision · 26-01-2004, 12:37

Don't mind me asking but how much do you pay for insurance on the coupe?

Huey220 · 26-01-2004, 14:39

Ed - my brother has a scoob, and in our household we're rally nuts, I loved the evo and my brother loved the scoob - he got what he always wanted - now its my turn

!!

I pay £650 FC with Mods declared, I'm 26, house owner, married with wife as a named driver.

Insurance is with Chris Knott HTH

Coupe-man · 28-01-2004, 21:47

Ello all,

I currently own a beautiful Nightfire red Rover 220 coupe but now have the finances to fund my dream, so im in search of a good 220 Turbo and could do with some help in locating some nice ones (seen some real dogs)........Bjorn im well impressed with ur coupe by the way....very nice

Nice to see one so well looked after

Huey220 · 28-01-2004, 22:30

Thanks

Coupe-man · 29-01-2004, 13:34

Bjorn,

How long u owned the turbo mate?

When u lookin to sell

Any chance of u sending a pm with some pics of engine bay mate?

Cheers

Marko · 29-01-2004, 14:36

my general view is If you want to play with the car(modify it) then get an evo, Scoobys STi WRXs are quite nice, but the engine about as strong as .....err..something very weak,lol.Which is why most ppl who want good power stick Forester engines in them, my mate spent 7grand after loosing 2 pistons through the side(or rods cant remember) on his 2dr Type R scoob, so bought an EVO4.
