Boys and their toys

Just bought myself a new toy

[chris_f]

Hi All,

As some of you know I am a car nut. I currently own the following:

Caterum Super 7 - For race days
Mini Cooper (New version) - for my city driving and work
Mint Condition 1956 Jaguar Roadster - for weekend driving
Toyota Yaris - for my g/f

Well, I have a new pride and joy to add to the list (care of a contact signed and payfor on Monday :)). It cost £42k but was worth it. What is it I hear you say.

Custom Built Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
5 litre engine (580 BHP)
fully turbo charged
6 speed manual
lowered chasis
All the extras
Giggle Gas (NO2 - Laughing Gas to boost the turbo)
Every saftey feature under the sun

0 - 60 in 3.25 seconds
I've already taken it to the track and hit 232mph (without the giggle gas)

Amazing Car! But I really shouldn't waste my money.

Seeing as you have so many cars, perhaps you could do the charitable and give one of them to me!

Any chance..... nope didnt think so.

Im not jealous or anything, im not honestly :(

I don't see many of them around, I live in Scooby land :)

That is a serious bit of kit though, if I had one I would be banned in a week :)

>> Mint Condition 1956 Jaguar Roadster

The new car sounds nice too.

[chris_f]

Forgot to mention the personalised spray job (nice design) and the fact that the fuel tank and giggle gas are in their own sealed environment (F1 style). If I have an accident there is no chance of it going up in flames.

I'll dig out some pic's. In the mean time how about this love of my love [chrisfelstead.co.uk]?

Again ... Not mine but the same shape and colour. Mine has a black base color with a red flaming design on the sides and a yellow viral symbol on the bonnet.

I'm going to fit some flourencent mounts for some cool night driving.

chris_f, that's an awesome driving machine. 580hp? And I thought I had something with my MR2 putting out 340hp running the 1/4 mile in 11.76 and through the trap at 136mph. I won the 1994 Battle of the Imports here in California with that little beast!

580hp? Eek, that's enough to take on the bikes with no fly bys! ;)

[chris_f]

I'll happily give you a race :)

Surely with your new baby, you won't be needing this one anymore? I can give it a nice home. I'll throw all the other cars out of the garage immediately...

[chris_f]

Thanks for kind offer Mivox. :)

I think I'll be keeping it. It's nice for the country drives in the summer. The evo is a bit of a beast for drives like that. I notice we're not talking about the yaris ;).

[pmac]

560hp?

If I had that set of wheels I would probably die in it. Slick ride Chris.
