Touché both of you. I travelled the country following the RAC, the Welsh, the Scottish... I have so many pics, stories.. As all the drivers were so approachable. Happy days.
Yes, love the grip, I do appreciate that but as an average driver, I must be, to be in control of something sliding says to me it's me, I'm in control, when admiring somethings grip, it's the machine, still great fun but I prefer slip slidy.
I have a pic of me in a 911, all the girly buttons turned to off in driving rain and at just 60/70mph it was so much fun, real driving, love it!

I've been there and rwd is good fun,but i do love the immense grip that evo's have to offer,hence why I'm now on my 4th and the mrs is after one,the speeds my X can carry through a corner is bonkers,to the point you wouldn't think it's possible without crashing.

I'm thinking of driving over to the algarve in it some time,but I dread to think the fuel cost

I've spent many many hours in the "wet, mud, snow" when I used to follow the round Britain RAC rally. Never missed a year in places like the forests of Kielder, Hamsterley, Grizedale, etc. Saw some great cars and drivers in everything from dust to mud and serious snow/ice.

Shame the round Britain format ended.

Back to the Evo's... Let me see if I can find a pic...


Thanks for the advice

We've just been down to where the rally cars were all parked up to and they were just loading some evo's away.



And a couple of my evo x for good measure

There must be good money in piri piri, as there's other automobile exotica there as well!
Worth a trip if you're into motors and the Piri piri we reckon is just the best anywhere, there's others come close like Ramirez but we reckon Theodosio is top one.


Think I might pop over then and say hi.

In which case the plate is illegal as well, certainly doesn't comply with BS specifications and wouldn't be readable by our ANPR systems.

The number plate on his car is interesting, looks more British than Portuguese.

It's a small world.

I'm a Mitsubishi evolution X owner and a member of an evolution owners club and I think it was this guy who I was speaking to when he joined the club,he was telling me about his evo's and the peri peri restaurant and said he would take me out in one of the cars if I was ever over his way.If I'd have known this last night I would have spoken to him.

This was his post when he joined the owners club.
