Just a little bit different from a Volvo.....

It's no good, there is only one that will do and that has to be an RS6

Hi what about an evo 6 i owned one for 5 years sold it to one of my customers who loved it like i had.
Just had it back for an mot and fell in love with it again ! So brought it back !

It really is one of the best cars i have ever owned and will now keep for ever.

Have you ever driven one ?

Hi Russ,

I have test driven a mark 7, and was astonished at the performance.

Infact as you have almost identical I am now wondering why you bother with the Volvo.

The only down side I can see to Mitsubishi ownership is the servicing intervals, but as you can do this yourself and from what I have heard to a very high spec.

Speaking of that, Howard, David and Ian all speak very highly of you, David is still chuffed you sorted out his long running Turbo problem.
If I lived closer I would be more than happy to bring my car to you.
Perhaps I could come if I need a bigish job doing?

How did you manage to do the 330 rear Volvo/Brembo brake upgrade?
Were the parts expensive?
Is it really worth doing on a 2000 R as they are already uprated just like Howard's car.

Patrick
