Selling my car soon and decided it would be stupid to have owned an Evo for almost 2 years and not properly experienced its capabilities, couldn't have picked better weather at Combe yesterday
Few pics...


















And my manager was there also so got a few passenger laps in this

Looks like a laugh, maybe not the best advert if you're selling soon though...? No offence but I'd be keeping the pics to myself!

Honestly if you go see an Eco and the owner looks you dead in the eye and says it's never been tracked or drive. In anger it's crap.lol. Good on you for getting out there.

I've got a few people wanting it off me including the mate in the passenger seat who couldn't believe the handling. It didn't exactly get a thrashing, just driven hard the way like it should be. On the track it really comes into its own and never feels like it's being pushed beyond its limit. Wouldn't put me off buying another.

I'd love to, but need something for motorway mileage now and can't afford to have both unfortunately.

Fair enough bud, just I know there are people who would see it as a turn off

I don't understand the whole track turn off thing?

Most people who do a track day look after their cars much better than cars that just go around town. Sane people won't go on track to do 100mph + around corners knowing that something is wrong with their car.

Depends on the car I think. As I've learned with mine, a few "track focussed" modifications make for a sucky road car so depending what what you want, you may be turned off by a track prepped car regardless of how it's looked after.

If its just a tow hook and some scruffy wheels every few months, I'd agree that a track/DD hybrid has been enthusiastically looked after.

Ultimately what's 100miles of hard driving every couple of months?!
